A report on North Korea ("U.S. Struggles to Place Pressure on North Korea") was published recently by 'Power and Interest News Report', which concludes that the US administration is running into a brick wall with its foreign policy. The US want North Korea to scrap its nuclear weapons programme. The European Union said earlier this month it hoped China would settle the matter amicably. However, it is surprising that the United Nations doesn't conduct international diplomacy. Maybe the G8 will discuss the role of the UN at this year's summit.
