South Korea promises a "compromise solution" in a bid to end a thorny standoff between North Korea and the United States over the North's nuclear ambitions. U.S. officials say they want a diplomatic solution, but won't abandon a 1994 accord in which North Korea agreed to close a nuclear plant it is now moving to reopen. NPR's Eric Weiner reports.
