...North Korea may soon return to multilateral negotiations aimed at dismantling its nuclear weapons program in exchange for economic aid. Despite an inconclusive round of talks in December, with China "putting pressure on the North Koreans do to more," Rice said, "it's certainly the best alignment of forces for a possible solution that I've seen in a while...
