WASHINGTON (AP) - The top U.S. negotiator at North Korean nuclear talks said Monday that the North's plutonium-producing reactor could be disabled by the end of the year.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, just back from a trip to North Korea, also said top ministers from the six nations involved in the talks could meet late next month if progress continues on efforts to rid the North of its nuclear weapons.
But Hill also sounded a note of skepticism, saying, "Usually in the six-party process, if there's a problem out there, then the problem will arise."
