The US Special Envoy Stephen Biegun has said he'll tell North Korean officials next week what measures Washington is willing to discuss to encourage Pyongyang to get rid of its nuclear weapons. But he stressed that North Korea must declare the full extent of its arsenal. Peter Bowes reports. In a speech at Stanford University, Stephen Biegun laid out an extensive list of demands for North Korean denuclearization. He said Washington would have to have expert access to key nuclear and missile sites to ensure the removal or destruction of stockpiles of nuclear materials, weapons, missiles, launchers, and other weapons of mass destruction. In a blunt statement, Mr. Biegun said President Trump had made it clear he expects significant and verifiable progress on denuclearization to emerge from the next summit.
