U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to North Korea's denuclearization -- like almost everything else he does -- is to "Go Big". <br />Experts say his larger-than-life and seemingly off-the-cuff approach to diplomacy is his way of pushing through the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula as quickly as possible.<br />Lee Seung-jae reports. <br /> Baseball. It's America's pastime. <br />A sport where 'swinging for the fences' means putting all your energy into your swing, so the end result is a homerun.<br />It's also the same approach the American president has been going for, from his tax reform to international trade to foreign policy.<br />President Trump's upcoming summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is just the latest example of his 'Go Big' strategy.<br /> The high-risk, high-reward approach is what his advisers are saying helped produce results on longstanding issues,... while his critics warn they could trigger dangerous repercussions.<br />Optimists hope that,... in regards to his approach to North Korea,... the reward will be great. <br />And the end result is a quick denuclearization of the Korean peninsula,... and for North Korea,... a massive economic boost,... that could help it one day rival that of the South.<br /><br /> "If North Korea takes bold action to quickly denuclearize, the United States is prepared to work with North Korea to achieve prosperity on par with our South Korean friends." <br /><br /> But will it work? <br />While North Korea has called for a phased and synchronized approach to the dismantlement of its nuclear weapons program,... come June 12th in Singapore,... President Trump may demand the program's immediate dismantlement,... causing a rift in what seems like a clear path to peace.<br /><br /> "It's a race against time. If North Korea says it will dismantle its nuclear weapons program itself, it will take a bit of time. But if the U.S. decides to go in and dismantle it, it would be a lot quicker." <br /><br /> Will Trump hit a homerun with his 'Go Big' approach to North Korea? <br />Will it lead to a quick denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, just like he hopes? Time will tell,... but the historic Pyongyang-Washington summit will almost certainly show us the way the ball is flying.<br />Lee Seung-jae, Arirang News. <br />
