Document Summary

It was the clinton administration that was the one that had to realize north. It was unlikely that they were willing to allow north korea to create weapons. The hope of clinton was to give north korea something so beneficial to them that they would stop developing dangerous weapons, and it was successful. In a very carefully crafted agreement, the u. s. , with the support of south. Korea and japan, agreed to provide north korea with two nuclear reactors that could only create energy. In exchange, north korea would freeze their efforts for nuclear weapons and allow for inspectors. However, it did not have to destroy/dismantle its existing weapons. North korea did not act as quickly as some in the bush administration would have liked. The u. s. did not deliver on the reactors that they had promised. North korea thought that the u. s. cheated because it did in fact stop its program and got nothing for it.
