ARTICLE: White House Revises N. Korea Nuke Deal (Washington Times)…Nicholas Kralev, April 25, 2008, Pg. 1
The Bush administration is renegotiating a tentative deal with North Korea on a declaration of its nuclear activities to include better verification provisions, after the agreement upset some on Capitol Hill and even in the administration, officials said yesterday.
On April 8, 2008 the Bush administration changed the requirements on N. Korea from requiring them to acknowledge their nuclear related activities to just acknowledging U.S. concerns. This change, referred to as the Singapore Agreement, was criticized by some members of Congress and was unlikely to be approved – especially after the recent disclosure of N.K involvement with the Syrian nuclear facility that Israel destroyed on September 6, 2007.
U Bet? Will N.K. make the changes necessary to be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism before President Bush leaves office?
