North Korea offers US nuclear deal

North Korea today said it is willing to abandon nuclear development as soon as the United States discontinues what it called a hostile policy and eliminates “threats” against the communist country, according to South Korean news agency reported.

The vaguely worded remarks by an unnamed spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry were carried by the communist state’s official KCNA news agency, and were monitored by Seoul’s Yonhap news agency.
