Is US Trying To Force Nuke Standoff?

U.S. claims that North Korea may have assisted in developing a covert nuclear reactor in Syria could be a bid by White House hardliners to derail talks with Pyongyang and force confrontation, says CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

The network's chief international correspondent, who spoke with Pyongyang's top nuclear negotiator in a recent trip to the secretive Stalinist country, said the timing of the claims could be significant as U.S.-North Korea relations reach a key stage.
