Arms Control Association's Kelsey Davenport said Trump won't get far unless he 'moves away from maximalist demands and demonstrates that he can be a credible partner in diplomacy.'
President Donald Trump's attempts to obtain diplomacy through"maximum pressure" may have witnessed some initial success with North Korea, but the White House has thus far struggled to do the same with Iran — and this strategy could backfire in both cases.
"In both the Iranian and North Korean cases, Trump appears to believe that maximum pressure will deliver a deal that meets all U.S. demands," Kelsey Davenport, director of nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, told Newsweek. "But sanctions are a tool, not a strategy, and they work best when paired with a sustained diplomatic approach that acknowledges that negotiating is not a zero-sum game.
The fragile detente that emerged last year between the U.S. and North Korea did not immediately follow the"fire and fury" threat. It was not until Pyongyang defied Washington's warnings by conducting another nuclear test and launching another intercontinental ballistic missile that North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un decided to give peace a chance early the following year.
"It was Washington that left the negotiating table, not Tehran," Davenport told Newsweek."Over the past year, the Trump administration has systematically attempted to deny Iran any of the benefits envisioned by the nuclear deal. Trump claimed this strategy would pressure Iran to engage in talks, but his approach has failed spectacularly."
