NBC News reports on the status of Christopher Hill, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs and the point man on U.S. negotiations with North Korea:
Hill said today that he has NOT been asked to stay on in an Obama administration. “I haven’t talked to anybody about my future,” he said in response to a reporter’s question about a possible role in the diplomatic corps of the next president, adding wryly, “I do need to figure out what I’m going to do when I grow up.” […]
[Hill] spoke to reporters today in the wake of bad news for the U.S. in six-party talks, which suffered a major setback last week when North Korean negotiators refused to sign on to guidelines for a “verification protocol” that would open up north Korean nuclear facilities to intrusive inspections, including collecting and removing nuclear samples from the country.
