In exchange, the U.S. will deliver nearly a quarter of a million tons of food to the North Korean people.

North Korea’s decision to allow international nuclear inspectors back into the country is being welcomed by the Obama administration – though the U.S. remains skeptical of their intentions. 

Washington calls this important, if limited progress in eliminating North Korea’s nuclear program.
