'As candidate and president, Donald Trump repeatedly cast himself as a bold departure from the foreign policy failures of the past. Was he right? By exploring the many different dimensions of US. -Korean engagement, this comprehensive volume offers a valuable assessment of the Trump era. From trade to nuclear politics to the rise of China, it highlights not only the many challenges shaping Northeast Asia, but also broader questions confronting US power across the globe.' Jennifer M. Miller, author of Cold War Democracy: The United States and Japan
