Need me to translate that for you?

Top U.S. nuclear negotiator Christopher Hill said Thursday it is important for North Korea to submit a full and complete declaration of its nuclear activity as required under a six-party deal by the end of this month.   ”It’s important we’ll get through this declaration in March. There is no drop-dead deadline, but it is important to try to get through this in March because we’re running out of time,” Hill said, referring to the change in the U.S. administration next year. He made the remarks during a talk at Columbia University in New York.  [Kyodo News]
