N. Korea Allows Access to Nuclear Sites

Just a day after the U.S. made the decision to remove North Korea from its terror list, N. Korea has once again allowed the U.N. access to their nuclear sites. N. Korea had actually stopped disabling their atomic program earlier about two months ago in response to the United States delay in taking them off the terror list. At the same time, the country was beginning to reassemble their plutonium-producing facility. They had also stopped letting inspectors into the site.

However, now that the U.S. finally took them off the terror list, they are once again cooperating with the U.N. by letting them back in the sites to inspect and oversee the process of disassembling their program. So, this could mean that the U.S. has one less country to worry about. This is a huge deal because N. Korea was quickly becoming a bigger threat to the U.S., but now it seems, even if just for a short period of time, that they do not need to be constantly under our watch. Hopefully, this will lead to better relations between the two countries.
