11. Summary of the thesis results:
This thesis studies the topic "United States Policy on the Nuclear Issue of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) (2017-2022)" and is structured into three chapters: (i) Factors influencing United States policy on the DPRK nuclear issue; (ii) United States policy on the DPRK nuclear issue; and (iii) Some observations and predictions on United States policy on the DPRK nuclear issue.
In Chapter 1The thesis concludes that both internal and external factors have strongly influenced US policies and strategies; among these factors, some have value in promoting and supporting policy implementation, while others play a role in hindering policy. Chapter 2 points out that the US National Security Strategy, National Defense Strategy, and Indo-Pacific Strategy share several key noteworthy points: they all identify North Korea's nuclear program as a serious threat to the US and place great emphasis on coordinating with allies to increase pressure on North Korea in order to encourage it to enter negotiations. Chapter 3 observes that the policies of the two administrations, Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, are not entirely different but share many similarities. The thesis also points out that these policies have created both opportunities and challenges for Vietnam; thereby offering several policy recommendations for Vietnam to take advantage of opportunities and minimize risks in the political-foreign affairs and security-defense fields. Furthermore, the thesis predicts that during the remainder of the Joe Biden administration, policy regarding North Korea's nuclear program is unlikely to undergo significant breakthroughs, but will mainly become more hardline, building upon previously implemented measures.
Finally, the thesis concludes that internal and external factors have influenced the United States' policies in multiple dimensions and ways. The main content of these policies emphasizes the threat posed by North Korea to US national security and prioritizes the full utilization of pressure tools. Simultaneously, the thesis concludes that President Joe Biden's policies on North Korea's nuclear program are not entirely different from those of President Donald Trump, and the impact of these policies on Vietnam is multifaceted and comprehensive. From now until the end of his term, it is highly likely that the Biden administration will adjust its policy on North Korea's nuclear program towards a tougher stance.
12. Practical applications: Through the analysis of the impacts of US policy on the North Korean nuclear issue on Vietnam and some policy recommendations, the thesis has the potential for application in research and teaching in related fields.

The thesis researches on the topic "United States (US) policy toward the nuclear issue of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) (2017-2022)” with an arrangement of 3 chapters: (i) Factors affecting the US policy on the nuclear issue of the DPRK; (ii) US policy towards the nuclear issue of the DPRK and (iii) Comments and predictions on US policy towards the nuclear issue of the DPRK.
In Chapter 1, the thesis concludes that factors inside and outside the US have had a strong impact on the country's policies and strategies, and there are not only the factors that promote and support the US policy implementation process but also factors that act as obstacles to US policies. In Chapter 2, through analyzing the content, implementation process and impact on the DPRK of the policies such as the National Security/Defense Strategy or the US strategy for the Indian - Pacific Ocean, the thesis points out that these policies and strategies have several notable main contents that all determine that the nuclear issue of the DPRK poses a serious threat to the US and pays attention to coordinate with the allies to increase the pressure on the DPRK to push the DPRK to enter the negotiation table. Chapter 3, the thesis finds that the policies of the two administrations of President Donald Trump and Joe Biden are not completely different but still have many similarities. At the same time, the thesis points out that these policies have created both opportunities and challenges for Vietnam and from there, the thesis proposes a number of policy recommendations for Vietnam to take advantage of opportunities and minimize risks in the fields of political-foreign affairs and security-defense. In addition, the thesis predicts that during the remaining time of the Joe Biden administration, the policy on the nuclear issue of the DPRK will likely not have many breakthrough changes but will mainly increase. increase toughness on the basis of inheriting already implemented measures.
Finally, the conclusion concludes that the factors inside and outside the US have influenced this country's policies in many aspects and dimensions. The main contents of the policies all emphasize the level of the DPRK's threat to US national security and pay attention to making the most of pressure tools. At the same time, the conclusion concludes that President Joe Biden's policies on the nuclear issue of the DPRK are not completely different from President Donald Trump's term and the impact of these policies on Vietnam is multidimensional and comprehensive impact. From now until the end of President Joe Biden's term, it is likely that President Joe Biden's administration will adjust its policy on the North Korean nuclear issue in a tougher direction.
