Bush Rewards N. Korea for Its Nuclear Disclosure

Summary


"We will trust you only to the extent you fulfil your promises," [George W. Bush] said in the Rose Garden. "I'm pleased with the progress. I'm under no illusions. This is the first step. This isn't the end of the process. It is the beginning of the process."

"If North Korea continues to make the right choices, it can repair its relationship with the international community... If North Korea makes the wrong choices, the United States and its partners in the six-party talks will act accordingly," Bush said.

U.S. officials said the declaration contains detailed data on the amount of plutonium North Korea produced during each of several rounds of production at a now-closed plutonium reactor. It is expected to total about 37 kilograms of plutonium -- enough to make about a half-dozen bombs. However, the declaration does not contain detailed information about North Korea's suspected program of developing weapons fuelled by enriched uranium.
