| North Korea, U.S. spar over nuclear deal at Singapore forum Posted: 04 Aug 2018 01:52 PM PDT  By Jack Kim and David Brunnstrom SINGAPORE (Reuters) - North Korea and the United States on Saturday sparred over an agreement reached at a landmark summit in June for the Asian country to end its nuclear program, as Washington called for maintaining sanctions pressure against Pyongyang, which in turn said it was alarmed by U.S. intentions. The discord at a regional forum in Singapore was the latest reminder of the difficulties that have long impaired efforts to negotiate an end to North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, despite commitments made at an unprecedented summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the city state less than two months ago.

This week, however, the NRA became the focus of a national news story — not for falling prey to an alleged Russian spy, or failing to respond after a deadly mass shooting, two issues the group has recently endured — about its supposedly dire economic state.
