How should the United States respond to North Korea's rapidly advancing nuclear capabilities?

President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have agreed to the first face-to-face North Korea-U.S. summit since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
 
Some experts suggest the summit on June 12th between Trump and Kim might provide a pivotal diplomatic opportunity to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.

Others are more pessimistic, arguing that we've been down this road before and that denuclearizing North Korea is more of a pipe dream than a legitimate strategic goal.

Can Trump and Kim strike a deal to halt North Korea's nuclear aggression? Or will the talks inevitably fail, heightening tensions and increasing the likelihood of fatal miscalculations?
