"International Reactions

* United States:
On 10 September 1998, the United States announced a package of agreements aimed at defusing tensions and resuming the stalled Four Party Talks on the Korean Peninsula.[5] US President Bill Clinton used his executive authority to circumvent congressional opposition to the 1994 Agreed Framework by shifting $15 million to fund the purchase of 150,000 tons of heavy-fuel oil for North Korea.[6] On 1 October 1998, US officials led by Assistant Secretary of State Robert Einhorn, re-opened missile talks with North Korean representatives in New York. However, the talks yielded no substantial progress.[7] State Department spokesman James Rubin said that if North Korea continued missile production, deployment and flight tests as well as the export of missile technology, it would be highly destabilizing and would have very serious negative consequences.[8] "
