U.S. Warns Can't Wait Forever for N.Korea Talks

BEIJING/SEOUL (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned on Sunday that the United States would not allow a stalemate over North Korea's refusal to return to nuclear arms negotiations to go on forever.
With U.S. impatience rising over the stalled six-party negotiations, Rice also prodded China, North Korea's biggest benefactor, to use more of its leverage to get Pyongyang back to the talks that have been on hold since June.
