Many of us are familiar with the term “Stockholm Syndrome”. In 1973, four people were taken hostage in Stockholm.

The United States' top diplomat defended his country's foreign policy record on Wednesday, saying progress had been made in the last year to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions and to counter the "immense challenges" posed by Russia, China and Iran.
