Goldstein argues that while an agreement guaranteeing a “nuclear-free” North Korea would be desirable for the United States, there remain other strategic outcomes that fall short of that goal, but may nonetheless prove advantageous to US interests in reducing the risk of the spread of nuclear materials.
