The Financial Times reports the United States has reached a compromise with North Korea over declaration of its nuclear activities. The United States has agreed Pyongyang does not need to publicly state a complete declaration of its nuclear activities. The compromise would allow for a "secret side-agreement" in which North Korea would acknowledge concerns over proliferation and uranium enrichment, but a public document would include a complete declaration of its plutonium program.
Further details still need to be worked out before its granted the President's approval. Also, "US officials are preparing to return to Pyongyang to assess claims that North Korea only harvested 30kg of plutonium. Japan is also insisting North Korea account for Japanese citizens who were abducted by North Korea over several decades."
