North Korea has agreed to halt nuclear tests, long-range missile launches and enrichment activities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex in exchange for food aid from the United States, the State Department said Wednesday.
The state-run North Korean news agency (KCNA) announced the agreement separately.
"Today's announcement represents a modest first step in the right direction. We, of course, will be watching closely and judging North Korea's new leaders by their actions," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday before the House Appropriations Committee.

I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours today, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web might be much more helpful than ever before.
Looks like Kim Jong Un going to enjoy all that extra food in his fridge. I think he's going to pass "The McDonalds for Dictators" program.
Bomb North Korean Soldiers with Harmless Bombs that explode into Porn, HoHo's, Pot, silk undies and episodes of star trek..... The entire North Korean Army will defect......I'm sure it'll work. just a suggestion....
Why stop there?.... deploy western goods over civilian areas in mass quantities....no need for more doom and gloom... Soon as the masses learn what they are missing, and if they have other NATIONS backing them....I believe they are ripe will rebel. (possibly peacefully)... in other words... give in.
I understand Wide spread starvation and disease has set in....those people and their children/soldiers I bet are ready to crack.
The North Korean PEOPLE need to be shown a future.... that is all... Sanctions are like prohibitions... they don't work.
Enough with the killing already. Hate begets Hate... Peace begets Peace.
my kingdom for an edit. app.
Wow..really? Cool I can sleep better knowing north Korea is finally going to work out things with the U.S.. send em all the food they want Hillary I'm sure it will pay off
While you're at it......you can in inspect my cock.
I'm sure you'll like it...............'inspector'.
Have they run out of dissidents and political prisoners to eat?
Send them the food. don't we have some pitbulls scheduled to be put down?
We've got a million inmates we could turn into 'Soylent Green'.
That should do the trick.
realy north korea is stopping,,,,,,,, nothing , i have ocean front property in montana to sell you to
The N.Koreans are reasonable. A few years ago Pakistan's president Zardari demanded.......HOLD YOUR BREATH......................... $100 Billion (YES, $100 Billion) to give up their nukes!
But knowing the Pakistanis too well, America and the west would NOT trust them even if they did agree to paying them such a "ransom".
I don't understand this game. Why are we giving them food aid for them to stop their nuclear activities? That makes no sense... that is akin to giving in to terrorists demands... We're paying them in food to "be good"? what the heck does that do? Send the signal to N Korea that the aim is to make a bunch of threats and maybe some low level hostile actions so the US will pay you in food to stop... you're encouraging this behavior in the end... seriously... we should just let North and South Korea work on their relations and either reunite or just kill eachother because we've done enough over there... 50k soldiers dead, over 50 years and we're still technically at war... this is dumb.
It's the US showing it's weakness, like putting your kid in the bad boy chair
AGAIN? same old tired game here. The US government does NOT learn !!
hahaha i tought they where going to feed on their nuclear activities, they had better taken d hard way n d only way or die starving.
