In this June 29, 2003 file photo released by World Food Program, food aid supplied by the United States is unloaded from a vessel at Nampo port, southwest of North Korea's capital of Pyongyang. A U.S. ship carrying thousands of tons of food aid arrived in North Korea after the impoverished nation agreed to open up to widely expanded international assistance, the U.N. food agency said Monday, June 30, 2008. The U.S. aid was not directly related to the ongoing nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang, and U.S. officials have repeatedly asserted they do not use food for diplomatic coercion.
