Clinton Not Stopping in North Korea 克林顿不出访朝鲜
President Clinton will not be stopping in North Korea at the end of his upcoming trip to Asia, a White House spokesman said today.
However, he may still visit the communist country before leaving office in January, White House press secretary Jake Siewert said.
The news came after three days of missile talks between North Korean and U.S. officials in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ended Friday with no agreement on ways to curb North Korea’s missile program — the main stumbling block in talks so far.
白宫新闻秘书Jake Siewert今天宣布,美国总统克林顿在即将进行的亚洲之行中将不访问朝鲜。
然而,这位白宫发言人还说,克林顿在明年1月份离任之前还可能会访问这个社会主义国家。
这个消息是在美国与朝鲜在马来西亚吉隆坡的导弹谈判破裂后三天传出的,在周五结束的吉隆坡谈判上双方未能就限制朝鲜导弹发展这一影响美朝谈判的最大障碍达成任何协议。
