FILE - This Aug. 29, 2017 file photo distributed on Aug. 30, 2017 by the North Korean government shows what was said to be the test launch of a Hwasong-12 intermediate range missile in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The list of what it would take for the âcomplete denuclearizationâ of North Korea is long. North Korea has said itâs willing to deal away its entire nuclear arsenal if the United States provides it with a reliable security assurance and other benefits.
