Washington said the revelation came earlier this month, after Assistant Secretary of State James A. Kelly presented evidence in Pyongyang that North Korea had a program to enrich uranium - which is a prerequisite for nuclear weapons. Confronted with the proof, North Korean officials conceded they had "nullified" a 1994 deal with the U.S. to stop developing such warheads.
