One prediction market prices this story:

  • North Korea — the market puts it at 10%, with $485 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays within North Korea's borders between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a missile test for a visit, but only his physical presence counts.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
