Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said the building confrontation between North Korea and the U.S. is likely to result in “acquiescence,” and Pyongyang will continue developing missiles capable of reaching every state.

In a column published Thursday night, Krauthammer described failed efforts by the Trump White House and past administrations to deter North Korea’s nuclear program and said the outcome this time, after the rogue regime fired a missile that could likely reach Alaska, will be no different.
