The U.N. Command has begun discussions with North Korea regarding the fate of Pvt. Travis King, an American soldier who crossed the heavily armed border last week. The well-being of Pvt. King is the command's main concern, but no further details were provided. North Korea has remained silent about King, and U.S. officials have expressed concerns about his well-being. The arrival of the USS Annapolis, a nuclear-propelled U.S. submarine, at a port on Jeju Island adds to the allies' show of force against North Korean nuclear threats. Analysts believe North Korea may delay providing information about King to gain leverage in negotiations.
