More than two decades ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency caught North Korea violating its safeguards agreement and reprocessing plutonium. After the North renounced the subsequent Agreed Framework, negotiated by President Bill Clinton’s administration, in 2003, it expelled IAEA inspectors, withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and has since detonated three nuclear devices and conducted a variety of missile tests.
二十多年前，国际原子能机构（IAEA）抓了朝鲜违反安全保障协定、再加工钚元素的现行。在2003年宣布退出随后由克林顿政府谈定的协议框架后，朝鲜驱逐了IAEA调查员，退出了和不扩散条约，并进行了三次核爆和多次导弹试验。
