to mr. trump for his visit to south korea and i keep my things to donald trump thank you can send you down and how many you have to look from time the next from. a speech just going to make a very short statement because we're going to the d.m.z. voter and i've been meeting with chairman kim i look forward to it very much i look forward to seeing him develop a very good relationship. and we understand each other i do believe he understands me and i think i maybe understand him and sometimes that could lead to very good things i want to start by just thanking president moon and very importantly 1st lady moaners a very special woman very special spirit she loves your country very much as those
1:05 pm
president moon and we had a great dinner last night together and. spent a large part of the morning discussing lots of different things including trade and and military frankly and many other items. but i thought i would just mention that when we. came here a great ambassador we rode rive last night our great ambassador who's here someplace very. who's talking about the. turmoil going on because of the level of there was a the vitriol the level of vitriol that was happening between north and south but it was north to a large extent where there was a lot of risk and a lot of threat and a lot of bad things were happening that was before i became president. and as you know in the media knows very well because they covered it frankly very well and
1:06 pm
very fairly. at the beginning there was a lot of anger between myself and kim john thune who since it's something happened there was a point at which it happened and all of a sudden you get along and i figured that one who isn't japan where they hosted a fantastic g. 20. and i want to just think prime minister abi because he really they did a fantastic job in a lot of good things came out of that a lot of good meetings with other countries i can tell you from the standpoint of the united states but. we we decided to. come here a while ago as part of going to the g. 20 i promised president and then yesterday i was just thinking hey i'm here let's see whether or not we can say hello to john or and. i put out the word and
1:07 pm
he got back and he wanted to do it from the beginning and so did i. but there's a lot of good feeling you know when sometimes the the media will say gee what's happened well they know what's happened what's happened is there was nuclear testing there was ballistic missile testing they had hostages of ours as you know very tough situation and now we're getting back our remains we got back the hostages there's been no ballistic missile tests and and there's been no nuclear tests and south korea is a whole different place and japan prime minister of the recently japan is a whole different place they had missiles going over japan on a very constant basis you know that very well so i hate to hear the media you know give false information to the public when they say oh what's been done what's been done a lot spend and there's also a good feeling i can tell you on behalf of president moon he feels much better about. even chairman kim i mean he feels much better. they could have
1:08 pm
meetings nobody was going to meet president obama wanted to meet and chairman kim would not meet him the obama administration was begging for a meeting they were begging for meetings constantly and jim and kim would not meet with him. and for some reason we have a certain chemistry or whatever now let's see what happens we have a long way to go but i'm in no rush sanctions iran and i'm in no rush i'm going nowhere rush with iran i'm never in a rush if you're in a rush to get yourself in trouble so i just want to say that we're going to be heading out to the d.m.z. . and something i planned long ago but had the idea yesterday to maybe say hello just shake hands quickly and say hello because we haven't seen each other
1:09 pm
since vietnam but a great meeting in vietnam people don't realize that we had it it's all part of the whole to go shisha but we're actually a great meeting in vietnam we had a great meeting in singapore everyone gave us praise for singapore and not for vietnam i think frankly the meeting in vietnam in terms of a deal was more important than singapore so. i think what i'd like to do is we'll take one or 2 questions as i understand it and then i'm going to head out to the d.m.z. and. pay my respects to everybody including some soldiers re of some who have tremendous military here. in south korea and we're going to see some of our great american soldiers talking to them and they'll be saying kim jong un and if you work there you can start with a question thank you. comes out ok thank you. we'll
1:10 pm
take questions from the turner this is. one by one if you're. young and the 1st. journalist. and the white house journalist we'll ask questions. and it will be carried out by consecutive interpretations ok so blue house presidential palace journalist if you could keep a question. that. they welcome the 2nd visit. u.s. president to south korea. mr moon you say that you would be accompanying donald trump to their. if.
1:11 pm
yes what prospects do you think we'll bring. forward the u.s. and the north korean encounter at the d.m.z. . and we'd written into. north korea if they were to dismantle the nuclear arsenal. try him. and i was wondering whether you had a discussion we don't or trump on that issue is the president from and i'd like to 1st of all i welcome president trump upon your 2nd visit to the republic of korea at the restricted natural meeting this morning president moon you had mentioned that you will be accompanying president trump to the d.m.z. about the focus of the dialogue that will happen at the d.m.z. will be between
1:12 pm
a president trump and chairman kim and you said that you are looking forward to much progress being achieved fast so at once the concept is established between a president trump and chairman kim at the d.m.z. what kind of progress do you expect in the subsequent negotiations and how about the possibility of a 3rd u.s. north korea summit happening before the end of the year and my 1st question relates to the written interview that you had given to various agencies recently and in that interview you had mentioned that if north korea under complete inspection verification from the international community if north korea at this mantles the nuclear complex in young beyond then the international community i could explore this sanctions relief a partial sanctions relief so has there been any discussions regarding this issue this morning and what was the response from the u.s. side.
1:13 pm
for their boss and. then you gonna be like. look at them in the continuum and your junk. people all they have. look 10. years you're not gonna. be right that will send a commuter bus on or on to new car no you don't huddle couple of numbers on it on an. all or more. just hunch. under the new and. none. of them cannot and wonder and e.g. get a little watch and or have you got to get a cudgel or get out on the. moon on. your really could. genuinely care.
1:14 pm
under our good gotten done young son get orders unknown to con. running under your call couldn't. gainey eat can dummy and but they can just say none. or very get on your shit their christian run on couldn't do someone mentioned in which. yes to answer your question yes i have been invited to visit upon one's own with president trump this afternoon however as i had mentioned the focus of the dialogue today will be the dialogue between the united states and north korea and of course president trump and chairman kim will have a reunion and have subsequent dialogue and i hope that and i do believe that this is vastly significant for the for the dialogue that will follow after their meeting today and also today the they will be there will be
1:15 pm
a dialogue between the united states and north korea but as for the insert korean dialogue this will happen at some later time asked for the question regarding the u.s. north korea summit i believe that how the reunion and the dialogue and the meeting attends out this afternoon will have a great say on when and whether the u.s. north korea summit will happen for the 3rd time so i do expect some progress there as for the last question what i had explained was that if north korea goes through the dismantlement in a in a genuine way dismantlement of nuclear complex in young down then this will mean that we will be entering we will be arriving at the entrance of irreversible as it stands if denuclearization so if this indeed is implemented then the international community will be able to discuss partial sanctions relief and i mine words were in
1:16 pm
this context. concern you got me trying to get to know because it's. i think i'd like to trump will take questions from white house attorneys. he now will take a question for president trump mr white house press secretary will choose to ask the question. i'm going to let our president she's glad mr president to do it again starting now that i can see that. she's learned very well thank you for your take you very much stephanie i appreciate it just to add one thing to your question from c.b.s. . it's just a step might be an important step but it might not but what we're doing today is a step and probably it's a step in the right direction there's a good feeling so it could be very good as far as another meeting i think let's see what happens today before we start thinking about that but it could be very it
1:17 pm
could be very important let's see a question of. this you can understand what's ahead and enjoy a try the next time you guys. ought to meet you guys you condone going in bang i'm going to stick quite honestly so you don't know what i'm going with when i get a permit that you would never liked him but the can resist me that is all arch guys are going to vent on here that we are you know you don't yell but 0 one of them and i'm married to a south park which is what it isis question you know. thank you mr president and thank you mr president margaret talev with bloomberg news hope you'll indulge me since we get one question i'm going to try to make out. why do you want to step into north korea and what do you think that handshake could actually accomplish nothing has substantively changed since annoy north korea has tested short range missiles why does kim jong un deserve this moment and how do you respond to the critics who say it's nothing more than a photo op or that you're legitimizing
1:18 pm
a nuclear state i also think quickly need to get in one china clarification which is your agreement with president xi as of yesterday does that bring you back to the point. in april where they had made a lot of concessions on ip and that sort of stuff or are you back in november back to the beginning of the process and this is a map 2 very distinct where should sell the got me there really aren't i know you do have a mistake as you know we've made tremendous strides only the fake do says that they were if you look again or have to repeat it but if you look again at where we were 2 and a half years ago and. i think i can say the hatred that everybody had for everybody and where it was going and i said that if president obama's term was for some reason extended through any method including having a successor that thought the way that that administration thought he would be right now at war with north korea and it would be pretty be tough we have the greatest military in the world by far we have a much greater military now than we had 2 and
1:19 pm
a half years ago as you know very well you've reported on it we've brought tremendous equipment from jets ships to equipment for soldiers but we are in a much different place right now margaret than we were. 2 and a half years ago much different and the previous administration wanted to tough i would ask people why are they talking and not everything happens with talks and bad . things happen with talk too but in this case we are so far advanced from where we were 2 and a half years ago that it's always insulting and i think it's why the press frankly has lost such credibility they've lost such credibility but to think that we're comparing where we are now to 2 and a half years ago is in a way it's insulting but we're doing well let's see what happens in the end but we're doing well big difference and as far as china is concerned we are. where we are aware of collecting 25 percent or $250000000000.00 and china is paying for it
1:20 pm
as you know because as you notice our inflation has and gonna china has devalued their currency in order to pay for the tariffs and in addition to devaluing they've also pumped a lot of money into their their economic model they've been pumping money and we haven't we've been retracting and we've been raising interest rates and they're being lowering interest rates well we're not playing on a fair field the fed has not been of help to us at all and despite that we're winning and we're winning big because we have created an economy that is 2nd and greatest in the world and one of the things that happened at the g. 20 in fact the president came up and said the same thing to president. congratulations on the economy what's happened in the last 2 and a half years is incredible it's incredible if. the other thought process would have won the election we would have instead of being up 3 percent we would have been
1:21 pm
down 5 percent in my opinion and i think you would have had a stock market crash because we were heading in that direction it would have been very very ugly place. to go. to go to mass and congress need to act. human when i get them to get over this new debt we. got action and york has not done and. when you mean you just got to let it wasn't a long look at. the heart of this media couldn't their. trip between 5 and 9 but if. your man and people got didn't know you don't mind i mean you kind of have had me on and ground. and it was me to go she just look at this i'm going to do with the hottest media she's up i demand i'm going to talk our chance howard passionate as if she took just one language one could get what i wish
1:22 pm
and yeah i mean and today i should or could tone not that's what i want to go shopping our audience and number 2 as our grandchildren to now horsemeat out how it is if you talk to. us media i can eat eat john couey young pant and what you going to get when they're going until no good man in general even wishes hashmi going will audience saw you don't go hunch about how to manage wine in g. the reader manage all the time jungle. him down watching them got people having to wipe the clothes hold out a minute so you can would you know who can buy 200. grams harnesses to be going to pant on without question that talk or hang tight about how to be. hung out to do tongue bigger than just the tip that you got to the minute or so watching the hunger and whatever cause you can guess and talk with you enjoying it becomes like a harder way hadn't and yeah. you know years of work that you don't have lunch. but you guys don't you gave and i mean it would in the hush of the trial and granted
1:23 pm
here routine and wishes hashing it out would undercut all ready to cancel you don't look up i'm going to copy them and they are no need to me is when i listen to the lawn ornament number 2 is how to get to know you know to cook had it cost me to look at this device and determine to go in a chicken eaten or got to know it's not usual present it in new hands if it was me it was on time one could answer even beagle 2 don't wish me who got a good deal and she would agree is that she going to get one have to come cut out or how is it all when a community inside of the resultant wouldn't need you now is to be documented is a sin on a 1000000. i don't touch in with that was not what i was on a commuter she took to get hooked up when did it 2000000 dollar 90 gets me the minute she not even younger and we got you got done washing i'm going to condemn to get them yet our man and ranch car going to end up with me to my new design and how does that i meet it when you get that meant to commuters hans it is on for some but how didn't go shoot a good question into 2 tonight we're not going to sequester go we're going to
1:24 pm
listen to i'm zone plan which is the question you could use to complete you have to value the stock market from the day after i won because there was a tremendous surge after i won because of the fact i won because people want that thinking instead of the thinking that we have if i hadn't won right after the election on november 9th you would have had a tremendous decrease in the stock market so i noticed that. the previous administrations is given credit for thousands of points of gain right after the election no it went up because i want and will take the credit and if you take that credit we've increased the stock market values by more than 50 percent you have to take their credit it went up only because i want and it went up a lot between election day and you know and when we ultimately took office and from there it went up a lot it continues to go up a lot and now we're setting records virtually at. 3 day and just to conclude on china. president you know i had
1:25 pm
a fantastic meeting she great meeting and we get along we also have a really really good relationship and he wants to see something happen and so would i and i think there's a really good chance of that happening we had a great meeting thank you i'm going to have to. you're watching a live press conference from the south korean capital seoul u.s. president donald trump the south korean president really after bilateral talks confirming there that this meeting between president trumka and the north korean leader kim jong un will take place at the d.m.z. later this morning they're running quite behind time at the moment so not quite sure when that will happen love to bring it to you but just to if you will just tuning in you'll hear quite a lot of south korean translation and that's because similar 10 years translation is going on when president from his answering they have to translate that into south koreans and that's why you're hearing this lengthy amount of south korean
1:26 pm
translation so they will go back to president trump again shortly. she does a film i'm going to get i was out we're not going to get out on a train you don't get them and you know after that how did he get it it was actually the. best. team she is younger than she that i think you know there is not such a high. value bench and i said you know not much time. so we have to leave. i'm sorry but we don't have much time and it's time for us to go. to be a mediator in this case how do you respond and do you trust president trump and if you can take us to the moment when you are at the border each of you are at the demarcation line what do you believe that stepping over that line may represent for the united states and for the world thank you very much. come up to motherhood isn't that's your 1st question was to present one right. you can to get mice and
1:27 pm
you to have even when the 2 youngest such a predator one hand doesn't want to i mean that i will go on but i see me duck ok this isn't a question joe i couldn't wait to lend it to me and get you going out with john and listen oh no it could be was younger days when you could quarter my government has the song i normally got and then. sometimes you're not going to and. it wasn't a question and you know. which one regarded clung. on more than you the humble young little man a prolog argument and some. but i'm not a teacher among whom would product of a reporter on i'm going to get the evil dead wrong on the church they're doing which in the quran are have their you know cannot are you group one would be summed up one order. i'm wondering is a year. one. goal or kind of process or use of so i don't look such
1:28 pm
a given reduction on your question i would say that. 1st of all we are indeed striving to achieve peace through dialogue but this does not necessarily mean that we will only travel in one direction sometimes will go straight but there sometimes you go through a long and winding road there comes a time when we have to pause and sometimes you have to retreat however i can reassure you that the only way that we can achieve peace is through dialogue so at the meeting this afternoon. it will become and it's truly historic a great moments in the peace process on the korean peninsula they continued afaik you don't think they cannot you know sit or can you go we didn't get to a young doctor i tried to get with about you thank you both leaders taking out as the u.s. president donald trump and the south korean president moving day and finishing their press conference after that bilateral lunch they'll be heading off shortly to the demilitarized zone to have
1:29 pm
a 3 hour meeting with the north korean leader kim jong il later this morning is bringing back. to get to james bays who is that as you near the d.m.z. on the border james are both leaders there confirming that this meeting will take place just talk us through what you think will be the choreography for the meeting james. well the confirmation i think we got there and clearly this is from president moon and president trying something may go amiss on the way but for now they believe they are about to get on the helicopter fly pretty much over my head and land not far from here where they will meet with kim and it's also pretty clear the premise of margaret tell if the white house correspondent of bloomberg question she said what would they feel like when they stepped into north korea no one corrected her and said no we've got no plans to do that so it looks
1:30 pm
like we're not only going to see a handshake at the d.m.z. it looks like we're going to see both leaders trump and kim on either side of the law in that would be historic yes it's only a step but it would be the 1st step by a sitting u.s. president on north korean soil since the korean war in fact since the creation and division of korea the creation of north korea almost 75 years ago so this is a very important historic moment president trump making clear it's more than a photo opportunity president moon who's so invested in this process is whole political future i think depends on it this is really everything it's in for him politically is in on this piece. he's saying already that president trump is going to go down in history as the president who bought peace to north korea president trouble very critical of his predecessor president obama saying that he
1:31 pm
tried to sit down with kim jong un and he'd been rebuffed president trump managed to do something that he did not and he was pushing back on suggestions this was just a photo opportunity and that actually nothing of substance has been achieved in terms of the negotiations on the key issue. which is getting rid of north korea's nuclear weapons i think some things have been achieved aaron in the time the president trump has been president remember we had him in the un general assembly at one point threatening to completely destroy north korea we stepped back from the brink certainly certainly there is now a pretty good relationship at a leader level and there are lines of communication but i think some of the criticism too is valid in terms of the substance there is not a proper process there's leaders meeting but who is doing the detail and the devil
1:32 pm
on these things as we saw with the iran nuclear negotiations the iran nuclear deal which of course president trump pulled out of the devil is in the detail getting into all of the details and it's worth reminding you that the cia has a pretty good idea what north korea probably has in terms of its nuclear capability but we haven't even got to the stage of north korea admitting what it actually has and declaring what its nuclear facilities are so before you get to a stage of north korea deciding what to give up the checklist on either side in terms of north korea giving up items of its nuclear inventory and the west and the u.s. removing sanctions we don't even know exactly what's on the north korean side of the ledger or etta james ways in pleasure to near the d.m.z. james thank you for that let's bring in rob mcbride again in the south korean capital seoul rubber listening to president moon jay enduring the press conference they just gave he said look president trump has the lead in terms of bringing peace
1:33 pm
back to the korean peninsula but so what does he see as south korea's role and his role in these peace talks and moving talks forward. that's not moon j.n. very much taking a strategy that he has adopted from the start basically heaping all the praise giving all the credit to donald trump it seems to work when dealing with this unusual presidents or that you hate flattery and his direction does seem to be effective saying that he will go down it's history of the man who brought peace the instigator of peace in truth as many observers here will tell you a lot of where we're up to at the moment has been the result of moon j.n. and his involvement right from the start from you know where we were 2 years ago basically facing the prospect of the united states possibly going to launch what they call a bloody nose strike basically
1:34 pm
a debilitating single attack against the structure in north korea to stop its nuclear missile testing moon has largely credited with intervening in getting this whole process started but it's been very careful to keep all the praise in trump's direction but he also there i think gave away a couple of mentions about which reminds us of some of the nitty gritty that they are going to have to get into if they are going to ever close this gap as james mentioned there between the 2 sides because they are still miles apart moon there spoke about the denuclearization process he still calls it a process that is ongoing but has many hawkish figures in washington will point out today to north korea has still not packaged up or given over one smallest part of its nuclear arsenal but saying that this process it must be a step by step approach really giving hinting at what the north koreans have always
1:35 pm
asked for this phased approach that it can't be a big deal as was presented to them of her neuer it has to be phased so i think moon is very aware of the difficulties that lie ahead but he did say. you know that this is yes and historic moment which is certainly true but all of this giddiness aside we have to remember just how far apart the 2 sides are but moon mentioning there that possibly just possibly this could lead to a more substantial and meaningful 3rd summit rob just couldn't before you go i mean you've been out and about talking to people on the streets of the south korean capital what do they make of this meeting because many north koreans so many south koreans are still way wary of the northern extremely wary of kim jong un and his ambitions intentions absolutely the majority of people are still very much in favor of this whole process of engaging with the north ready the alternatives to it
1:36 pm
of course are too awful to contemplate you have to be engaged in this peaceful dialogue moon has the widespread support here in south korea it has to be said that it has taken a hit recently with some of these setbacks and failures moon is also faced a lot of criticism and disappointment from the north for what people see as being his failure it's almost as though he built up hopes in the north that he could win a deal with the americans and he's taken a lot of the flak for that not happening but the many people on the on the streets are still quite divided about this yes there is still support but used talk to more conservative types more right wing groups a lot of the military veterans groups and they are still highly suspicious of the north koreans they have been through this sort of process before only to for it to end in failure and acrimony and name calling and more talks of conflict so they are very wary of what the intentions are of kim and john from north korea. in seoul rob
1:37 pm
thank you. so if you're just tuning in u.s. president donald trump has confirmed he will meet the north korean leader kim jong un briefly at the demilitarized zone shortly trump says he's looking forward to it north korea has not yet commented. we're going to the d.m.z. water and i'll be meeting with chairman kim i look forward to it very much a look forward to seeing him develop a very good relationship and we understand each other i do believe he understands me and i think and maybe understand him and sometimes that could lead to very good things. gave a little detail on how plans for the meeting with kim jong un came about yesterday i was just thinking hey i'm here let's see whether or not we can say hello to kim john. and. i put out the word and he got back and he wanted
1:38 pm
to do it from the beginning and so did i. south korea's moon jane who accompanied the u.s. president to the border has backed the historic meeting source and churchill. for the 1st time in history north korea usas leader will be able to meet at the d.m.z. and that will be the 1st step towards peace south korea and north korea will be able to talk about peace in the future what we really want is permanent peace on the korean peninsula mr trump will be going down in history as the president who made peace on the korean peninsula and i would like to give my appreciation to donald trump and kim jong il well early on saturday the summit of the world's biggest economies came to a close when the world leaders agreeing to present a united front on global trade but the big developments took place on the sidelines with the u.s. and china agreeing to restart trade talks our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat reports a massage. with fears of further escalation in the trade war between the united

a dialogue reading about it for lessons on international media and on t.v. why should we stop with skepticism because there's a lot of it on my everyone has a voice we are being taken advantage of just because we are small community without any network just eat healthy join the global conversation announces iraq all they want to do is start the debate the same kind of debate that we have here in st. new yorkers are very. because it is such an international city they're very interested in that global perspective that. we're going to the d.m.z. border and i'll be meeting with jeremy kim historic meeting donald trump and
1:49 pm
kim jong il and i headed for a hunch it's a piece of the d.m.z. . along down jordan this is. also coming up the g. 20 summit wraps up in japan with the u.s. and china ready to reopen trade talks but members fail to reach a consensus on climate change. washington reportedly wants to know how american made weapons got into the hands of fighters loyal to the libyan award. and why a british rappers groundbreaking appearance at one of the world's biggest music festivals has caused the spotlight on the new place from political landscape. president donald trump house confirmed he will meet the north korean leader kim jong un at the demilitarized shortly when trump meets with kim jong un at the
1:50 pm
border it will be the 1st time ever in history the leaders of north korea and the u.s. to do so north korea has not yet commented well in a moment we'll be live with pride in seoul from moon j. and just held a joint press conference the 1st let's go top diplomat to go to james bays who is in that's near the demilitarized zone so confirmation then from both president trump and the south korean president moon jane that the meeting will take place so james how do you think the choreography will work. yes well as you say daryn it is all on it seems i don't think we can say for definite it's going to happen until it happens but they've completed that press conference which started just about an hour ago and then we believe that even though that press conference may have lost a bit longer than was originally planned on the original white house schedule about an hour and 10 minutes after the start of the press conference we were going to see
1:51 pm
them at the d.m.z. so that puts it probably about half an hour from now of course the other factor in this is that kim's got to get from pyongyang to the d.m.z. and quite how the coordination is going to work or whether there's going to be a bit of waiting around but certainly we are ready i think in the next half hour or so to perhaps from then on see this quite important i would say historic moment what are we going to see well certainly both leaders president moon president trump when they were asked about the idea of stepping into north korea they didn't rule that out are you so i think we're going to see something similar to when we saw kim meet moon in april last year and the stepping across back from one side to the border to the other i think we may well see the president trying to do that that makes it historic because a sitting u.s. president has never set foot inside north korea this was president trump confirming
1:52 pm
that he believes the meeting is on. going to the d.m.z. the border and every meeting with chairman jim told to a very much a look forward to seeing him develop a very good relationship and we understand each other i do believe he understands me and i think and maybe understand him and sometimes that can lead to very good things and james despite the lack of any diplomatic preparation for this meeting about how much could this help to reset relations between both countries and also perhaps set the scene for any future summits a 3rd one perhaps. i think it has quite important resonance this picture yes people are condemning it and saying it's just a photo op that it's not real substantive progress in some ways yes but it's a historic photograph that both sides of the korean peninsula live on south korean
1:53 pm
t.v. much later in a very carefully edited former north korean t.v. is going to make waves this process is stalled it's a process where the leaders seem to get on fine but the actual diplomacy and the devil is in the detail of a very complex and it goes nuclear negotiation that diplomacy is not under way this may be a way to kick start things i have to say almost a year ago in singapore when we saw a historic handshake and a historic meeting for the 1st time between the leader of north korea and the u.s. president i was saying the same thing so i think it's a big question of whether this can get things moving again certainly it keeps life in a process that people are beginning to worry about particularly after the 2 missile launches by north korea president trump really has said that they're nothing and
1:54 pm
they were long range but you speak to people at the u.n. in new york as i have done spoken to ambassadors and everyone agrees they were violations of the u.n. security council resolutions or at a james bays there at pazuzu near the demilitarized zone on the border there james thank you very much now south korea's president moon jane who will accompany donald trump in the board has but the historic meeting. someone to channel. for the 1st time in history north korea and u.s.a.'s leader will be able to meet at the d.m.z. and that will be the 1st step towards peace south korea and north korea will be able to talk about peace in the future what we really want is permanent peace on the korean peninsula mr trump will be going down in history as the president who made peace on the korean peninsula and i would like to give my appreciation to donald trump and kim jong with him. joins us live now from the south korean capital seoul rob we heard from president from that joint press conference with the south
1:55 pm
korean president saying look he urges caution saying today's meeting is just one small step but what does this meeting mean for south korea and the president. yes moon j.m. very much sense almost a sense of relief that this is indeed taking place he is a man who's obviously staked his whole reputation on this process has been seen as very much the instigator of it from the start you'll recall you know almost 2 years ago now that he took things from the brink of conflict to getting the north koreans to take part in the winter olympics and so on so he has really been feeling the heat in recent weeks and months since the failure of hanoi not only from people here in south korea he has been going down in the opinion polls not only to a certain degree from the u.s. but certainly also from the north koreans he's lost an awful lot of currency a lot of credibility in the eyes of the north koreans you know who have sort of accused him of saying look you were the person who said you could get
1:56 pm
a deal with the americans you have got this contact with the administration well i think today as they head north to the d.m.z. and we've just heard the helicopters go overhead we are in a building that's a few blocks away from the blue house the presidential compound this very much restores to some extent the moon's credibility so he is hopeful and they see said in the press conference there that yes this is an historic meeting but it's only a quick handshake but possibly just possibly it might lead to a more meaningful 3rd summit but as he also mentioned there in the press conference he gave an indication of some of the problems that still lie ahead all of the nitty gritty the details once people get back to the negotiating table things like the phased introduction of their this denuclearized nation process it's something that north korea stipulated versus the big deal approach that the u.s. . and suddenly unexpectedly produced at that negotiation which was.
1:57 pm
contributed to the collapse of the hanoi summit it gives an idea that yes once all . all of this photo opportunity here is breathtakingly history making was we know once they get back to the detail it is going to be a very tough process down just briefly before you go going to talk show again later on in the morning when that meeting happens i mean how far apart are both sides are because earlier we're talking to you were saying to us that look you know no missile has been dismantled you know the nuclear program slow going on i mean both sides have a lot of work to do down there that's right just briefly the north korean side they want to see a relaxation of some of the sanctions against them they are offering or have offered to give or dismantle the younger nuclear complex which they think is a very big deal as far as the more hawkish elements in the u.s. side are concerned that simply isn't enough they have an awful lot more processing
1:58 pm
capability they should do a lot more to prove to the world that they are serious about denuclearization and it is irreversible but interestingly in the last few weeks there have been officials from the american side who have spoken about the possibility of being a little more flexible on that and that's what moon will be hoping that he might be able to exploit if likely to see this afternoon a handshake might lead to something more than all right or wrong thank you well earlier on saturday the summit of the world's biggest economies came to a close with world leaders agreeing to present a united front on global trade but the big developments took place on the sidelines with the u.s. and china agreeing to restart trade talks a white house correspondent can really help get reports from osaka. with fears of further escalation in the trade war between the united states and china chinese president xi jinping issued words of warning to u.s.
