Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer credited U.S. President Donald Trump’s “priority and pressure” as a key catalyst to the Koreas’ agreement Friday to pursue the denuclearization of the peninsula.

Bremmer, who is also the founder of the political-risk research and consulting firm based in New York, saidBloomberg Terminal the U.S. got China to step up sanctions and brought North Korea to the negotiating table.
