North Korea has rebuffed a series of proposals made by the United States on denuclearization.
That's what CNN reported over the weekend, citing senior government officials.
The report said Washington has made and continues to make specific proposals including a timeline of a fully verified denuclearization,... but all were rejected by the North,... as the regime considered them (quote) "gangster-like."
The New York Times reports that Pyongyang is demanding Washington declare an end to the Korean War before revealing a detailed written document on all its atomic weapons stockpiles, nuclear facilities and missiles.
