...Privately, Obama Administration officials acknowledge that Washington's own influence inside the OAS has shrunk since the Cold War, despite the fact that the U.S. is still the group's No. 1 financial backer, and they concede that the OAS could vote this week to readmit Cuba without U.S. approval, though it would be rare for the organization not to forge a consensus on the matter first. (New Jersey's Cuban-American Senator Bob Menendez has threatened to cut off U.S. funding to the OAS if it lifts the suspension.) Still, "the OAS's historic journey to become a region...

...announced that it was withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in a major escalation of the crisis surrounding its nuclear activities. It claimed the move was in response to U.S. aggression and also rejected a demand by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, to readmit inspectors expelled last month. Pyongyang is widely suspected of violating the NPT, which bars the development of nuclear weapons. Efforts continued to find a diplomatic solution to the dispute, with Washington offering to hold direct talks with North Korea, but only on the subject of how Pyongyang should dismantle...
