WASHINGTON: Four decades after the Korean War, the U.S. has been asked to relax the pressure on the communist North -- and it's the South that's doing the asking. South Korea's President Kim Dae Jung met with President Clinton today, and urged the U.S. to ease sanctions against North Korea and engage in dialogue. Kim believes normalizing relations with Pyongyang is the only way to ease tensions with its neighbor and encourage moderation in Pyongyang.
