North Korea Will Increase Nuclear Arsenal

CBNNews.com -- BEIJING - As North Korea sees it, the U-S seeks to halt its nuclear program through "carrots and sticks," so it's responding with "dialogue and a shield."
With no agreement on disarmament or further negotiations after five days of talks, North Korea's main nuclear envoy said the communist nation would beef up its nuclear arsenal in response to U-S pressure.
Negotiators in Beijing say Pyongyang refused to talk about its nuclear weapons program, and instead stuck to its demand that the U-S remove financial restrictions.
After Japan's top envoy questioned whether there would be talks in the future, Japan's prime minister said he still believes the six-nation framework is the most effective means of getting a breakthrough.
