Foreign-policy experts watching the fraught situation between the United States and North Korea hope it stays that way, after U.S. President Donald Trump's bombastic warning to North Korea over its nuclear provocations. "North Korea has shown that at least rhetorically, it always wants to have the last word," he said. Building a stronger diplomatic coalition against North Korea by coaxing China to rein in its ally could also help. "The rhetoric between North Korea and the Trump administration wasn't helpful, but that doesn't mean we're going to war tomorrow with North Korea," Collins said. "But the reality of the fact is we shouldn't underestimate what North Korea is capable of."
