Obama's stern words for Pyongyang in Seoul

Top Story: U.S. President Barack Obama's much-watched three-day trip to China ended with more of a whisper than a bang. Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao reportedly discussed a number of sensitive issues, including North Korea and the U.S. debt held in China. But their many public statements indicated few policy advances.

Obama is now visiting South Korea. In Seoul, he made a strong pronouncement against Iran and North Korea. He also said the U.S. envoy to North Korea will travel to Pyongyang for bilateral talks.
