Jon Wolfsthal, a senior fellow with the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by Agence France Presse, "U.S. Says it Does Not Trust North Korea."
A day after accusing North Korea of helping Syria build a covert nuclear reactor, the United States said Friday it did not trust the hardline communist state, which is negotiating to end its atomic weapons drive.
"They can effectively argue that 'we don't need North Korea to provide a declaration (of its proliferation) because we already know what they have done with Syria and then perhaps it can be deemphasized in the negotiations," said Jon Wolfsthal, a weapons expert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
