Pyongyang agrees to halt its nuclear programme...again
Issued on: Modified:
Only time will tell if North Korea's agreement to halt its nuclear activities in return for food aid from the US will stick. It isn't the first time such an agreement has been struck - two others resulted in deadlock. Hillary Clinton was quick to downplay the significance of the deal. Both sides will need to scrutinize the small print, but for some it's an encouraging sign for relations between the two countries.
