Bush has guardedly welcomed North Korea's long-awaited nuclear declaration and announced immediate steps to ease sanctions. The declaration was handed over earlier to the Chinese foreign ministry. In addition, North Korea says it will publically destroy the cooling tower at the Yongbyon nuclear complex on Friday. Bush said the moves were initial steps in the right direction. The nuclear declaration was one of the provisions of a deal agreed in February 2007 which came after several years of negotiations.
