WASHINGTON -- The top U.S. nuclear envoy on Monday brushed aside North Korea's demand for a set of new reactors as a price for its denuclearization, reiterating Washington's conditions that the communist nation must prove it will "play by the rules."
Christopher Hill, who returned from six-party talks last week in Beijing, said he still believes Pyongyang intends to abide by a Feb. 13 agreement under which it agreed to eventually give up its nuclear programs, Yonhap news agency reported.
"They do want to get this done," he said at a press briefing.
