WASHINGTON — The White House said North Korea has a Thursday “deadline” to hand in a long-awaited accounting of its nuclear past but warned the paperwork could be delayed yet again.
An indication the North Korean government has decided to meet the deadline came Monday with a report that news organizations have been invited to attend the demolition of the cooling tower at North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor complex north of Pyongyang. CNN reported that it is among the networks invited to cover the event.
The paperwork has become the symbolic linchpin for the North’s nuclear disarmament deal with the U.S. and other countries. The U.S. says the document from Pyongyang has been overdue since Dec. 31.
