These two countries will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday in Berlin to discuss North Korea's nuclear program. Influencing North Korea's Kim Jon-il to stop his nuclear goals has been extremely difficult and overall seems hopeless. Since October when North Korea first declared themselves a nuclear state. North Korea was open for discussion despite saying last month that they woule no longer talk with the US unless we let go of their assets. The US held on to their assets because of North Korea's history in counterfeiting US currency and drug trafficking which is one of North Korea's most valuable channels of income to support their nuclear program. Negotiations to reslve this stand off will plan to meet again next week in New York or Beijing.
