Obama expects North Korea to return to talks

WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday he believed that sanctions against North Korea would eventually work and that Pyongyang would return to the six-party talks over its nuclear program.

"I think it's fair to say that North Korea has chosen a path of severe isolation that has been extraordinarily damaging to its people," Obama told a news conference at the end of a summit on nuclear security.

He said that as pressure builds, Pyongyang will want to break out of its isolation and "we'll see a return to the six-party talks and ... we will see a change in behavior." (Writing by Caren Bohan; Editing by Chris Wilson)
