Anthony Kuhn: 在特朗普执政期间，他对朝鲜和伊朗采取了截然不同的策略。对于朝鲜，尽管过去存在敌对，特朗普曾与金正恩进行了一系列会晤和信件往来，试图通过外交手段解决核问题。然而，这些努力最终未能达成协议。与此形成对比的是，特朗普政府对伊朗采取了更为强硬的立场，甚至采取了空袭核设施的行动。我认为，这种差异的关键在于朝鲜已经拥有相当规模的核武库和远程导弹，对美国本土构成直接威胁，而伊朗当时并没有。因此，对朝鲜采取军事行动的风险远高于伊朗。此外，金正恩可能因为特朗普公开了两人之间的私人信件而感到被背叛，这使得他更不愿意与美国进行谈判。现在，朝鲜已经拥有大约50枚核武器，并且与俄罗斯达成了某种程度上的互助防御条约，这使得局势更加复杂。 Tammy Bruce: 作为美国国务院发言人，我在此重申，美国仍然致力于朝鲜的完全无核化。尽管特朗普政府过去曾尝试与朝鲜进行外交接触，但这一目标并未改变。我们呼吁朝鲜采取具体措施，履行其无核化承诺，为地区和平与稳定做出贡献。同时，我们也会继续关注伊朗的核活动，并采取一切必要措施，防止其获得核武器。
