Here is my latest Huffington Post, “A Cry for Peace: Reunification of North and South Korea”.

 

Despite rising tensions between President Trump and Kim Jung Un, the annual military exercises by the U.S. and South Korea remain scheduled for August 21-31, 2017. This drill will be a coordinated naval, army and air force involving tens of thousands of American and South Korean troops. President Trump has raised the temperature by warning, “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen”. North Korea quickly responded by threatening to fire missiles at the United States’ territory of Guam.

I endorsed a new book, Not Forgotten by Kenneth Bae.  

Rev. Jesse Jackson and I worked on Kenneth Bae’s release efforts from a North Korean prison. We met with the North Korean Ambassador to the UN, wrote numerous articles and 11 letters to the North Korean government.

It was wonderful to get the news of his release and meet with him in Seattle.

Read Bae’s new book to find out more.
