Recent context

Kim Yong Un, son of the late Kim Yong Il, is undoubtedly the North Korean leader who has developed the strongest nuclear program and has placed the international focus on his regime. Last year was one in which more missile tests were carried out than remembered. The long-range missile launched over Japan and the nuclear test that according to seismologists reached 6 on the Richter scale stands out. If we base the chart published by El Periódico we can see how the range of the missile that was tested exceeds the distance needed to attack the US base of Guam in the United States that houses 500 soldiers.

2018

Although with the beginning of 2018 all change, starting in January when the North Korean leader against all odds announced his intention to improve the relationship with his neighbor North Korea, and as gesture was willing to send a delegation to the Olympics of winter. For this they agreed the first meeting between the two countries in 10 years. The United States then canceled any early maneuver with its ally South Korea.

In February Kim Yong Un would send his sister to lead the North Korean delegation in the parade of the games in which they participated under a single flag. Later they would hold a joint summit.

In March he would meet with the Chinese leader and establish his willingness to meet with President Donal Trump.

In April after the meeting they would stage agreements such as the use of the same schedule, the dismantling of the atomic test center in which they would invite international observers and the end of their nuclear career, and on the part of South Korea the closure of propaganda against North Korea near the border.

In May there would be several denials and rumors, and several attempts to suspend the summit by the United States but finally it would be in June the summit where the two leaders would talk about the future. This summit took place in Singapore.

In July a second summit would be proposed for September but later North Korea would threaten to cancel it due to United States maneuvers that bother the neighboring country so much.

So things with this scenario, this year the risk of a war has decreased and with that for example in the economic field the American indexes are at maximum. Gold has also fallen to values ​​seen 3 years ago and the American currency is taking positions against the euro and other currencies. This rise responds more to the good employment data and economic prospects as well as the progressive increases in interest rates.
