BEIJING (AP) - Envoys at talks on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program said Monday that the possibility of a last-minute breakthrough rested solely with Pyongyang, dimming hopes for progress as the negotiations entered their final day.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said the talks had snagged on the amount of energy assistance Pyongyang would receive as an inducement for disarming. But he said that a deal could still be reached during Monday's session.
"It is up to the North Koreans," Hill said. "We have offered a way forward on a number of issues. They just need to make a decision."
