Five competing agendas intersect on the Korean peninsula: those of South Korea, North Korea, China, Japan, and the United States.  The United States, in order to advance its interests and meet its alliance obligations, has to thread a difficult and winding path.
James Mattis visited South Korea on his first trip as Secretary of Defense.  Here’s what he has to deal with.
