US lawmakers have criticized the recent US-North Korean deal calling for freezing Pyongyang’s nuclear programme in return for US diplomatic and economic concessions. They expressed concern that the North may take the concessions and break the accord. Other lawmakers noted that inspection of Pyongyang’s nuclear site is not required for at least five years. The US chief negotiator defended the accord, saying he had made no compromises that would damage US national security.
