Denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula will be a priority for the historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has indicated that Trump will accept nothing less than complete denuclearisation. The US in turn is expected to offer North Korea a range of as yet unspecific economic and security concessions, although they will be conditional on North Korea scrapping its nuclear weapons program. The two leaders will initially meet alone before being joined by their advisers.

Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 13-Oct-17

A special Roy Morgan SMS Survey shows that 58% of New Zealanders think it is either "Very likely" (19%) or "Fairly likely" (39%) that North Korea will use a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, 42% say North Korea is "Fairly unlikely" (31%) or "Very unlikely" (11%) to do so. The poll, which was taken after the New Zealand election in September, also shows that 78% of New Zealanders want the opposing sides in the North Korean stand-off to reach a peaceful diplomatic solution. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says 60% of National Party supporters and 59% of Labour supporters say it is likely North Korea will use a nuclear weapon, while 75% of National supporters and 80% of Labour supporters want a peaceful diplomatic solution to the stand-off rather than a military solution.

Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 18-Sep-17

A special snap SMS Morgan Poll taken on 14 September 2017 shows that Australians are evenly split on whether North Korea will use a nuclear weapon: 51% say it is either "Fairly unlikely" (33%) or "Very unlikely" (18%) to do so, while 49% say it is "Fairly likely" (33%) or "Very likely" (16%) to do so. Meanwhile, 81% of Australians want the opposing sides in the North Korean stand-off to reach a peaceful diplomatic solution, and only 19% believe a peaceful diplomatic solution is not working and a military one is needed. Analysing the results by voting preference shows supporters of the major parties are also split down the middle on whether North Korea will use a nuclear weapon, and large majorities of supporters of all parties are in favour of a peaceful diplomatic solution. Roy Morgan Research CEO Gary Morgan says the consensus across political lines also extends across both genders, all age groups and around all of Australia’s States. However, the snap SMS Morgan Poll was taken before North Korea’s latest provocation when the regime of Kim Jong-Un fired a ballistic missile nearly 4,000km eastward across the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.
