North Korea Continues to Disable Nuclear Plant

North Korea has been taken off the U.S. terrorism list. North Korea has decided to negotiate with the U.S. despite old conflicts. They have decided to continue disabling main nuclear weapon complexes. North Korea is also allowing international monitors to inspect the site. American inspectors will be granted to inspect declared nuclear sites as well as sites the U.S. suspects to contain nuclear activity.

Taking them off Washington’s terrorist list is explained as a symbolic gesture in hopes of peace or on step to reconciliation in the future. By removing them, it makes them feel more normal and not subject to as much criticism. I found it interesting that they almost needed and wanted the approval from the United States. It shows how powerful we truly are.
