venezuelan prosecuted. >> what place do con fed rat monuments like this one have in today's world. >> the statue itself is symbolic of a lot of larger issues. >> we don't want there to be violence. we don't want there to be conflict. >> this is "new day" weekend with victor black well and christie paul. >> good morning to you. a new threat just last hour from north korea warning president trump to, quote, act properly or america will meet its, quote, tragic doop. this is according to the wall street journal. no response from president trump just yet, who was urged by china to use restraint as nuclear tensions are escalating here. >> president trump initially called president xi last night to pressure him on a trade issue warning that the u.s. investigation into china's practices could open as soon as monday, but she in return

pressured president trump to tone down threats like this one. >> if anything happens to guam, there's going to be big, big trouble in north korea. >> and japan now ready to respond. take a look at the pictures coming in. massive missile interceptors are in place now should north korea make good on their threat to strike guam. >> also, president trump signalling possible military intervention in venezuela. torn there by crisis. and military leaders, officials there as well calling the president's warning, quote, cowardly, insew lat and vial. >> we have many options for venezuela. and by the way, i'm not going to rule out a military option. we have many options for venezuela. >> our correspondents are covering the big story all around the world this morning. we're in hong kong, tokyo and guam. and with the president in new jerseyment we're starting in china and that phone call between presidents trump and she. david, hello to you.

>> good morning. yes, that phone call, she engine ping tried to calm the situation down, urging for restraint, hinting perhaps that the comments coming from president trump are not helpful from the chinese perspective. i want to read you something from the ministry of foreign affairs that came out on friday. the chinese side hopes all relevant parties speak and act with caution and do more things at de-escalating the tense situation and enhancing mutual trust rather than relapsing between the old path of showing assertiveness and escalating tensions. you know, victor, i've covered china for several years, and often you can just predict exactly what they're going to say about north koreament this is different. it's a rebuke of the u.s. and north korean rhetoric coming out in recent days. china desperately wants to try and ease the tension in a very volatile situation.

victor. >> david, thank you so much. >> david, thank you. while chinese president xi is urging restraint, president trump is not seeming to let up on the words he's using with north korea. cnn politics reporter dan joining us now from bridge water, new jersey. dan, good to see you this morning. what has the president said about north korea and about his call specifically with the chinese president? >> yeah. the presidents trip working vacation here in new jersey has been dominated by north korea and tensions on the korean peninsula. president trump has not only ducked down but his trimmed down on some of his bellicose rhetoric about the nation and obviously north korea has responded as well, leading to somewhat of a tit for tat between new jersey and north korea. president trump initially promised fire and fury if kim jong-un continued his threats and later said that statement may not have been tough enough. yesterday he again went round forth round with reporters and

said this about the north korean leader. >> and if he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat which by the way he has been uttering for years and his family has been uttering for years, or if he does anything with respect to guam or any place else that's an american territory or an american ally, eltruly regret it. and elregret it fast. >> no easing of tensions there. what we've seen here is a number of strategic shifts by the president that have been notable to reporters who have been following him. in the last few days he's taken at least 50 questions from press who have been following him around here in new jersey. that's a huge shift from past trips with the president where he hasn't taken questions. additionally, on that call with the chinese president xi jinping, he also told the president that he would initiate a trade review of trade policies

between the united states and china coming monday. that's pretty tough talk when he needs their help in north korea. >> thank you so much. right now some of japan's missile interceptors are arriving at three basis. japanese leaders say this is a precaution. now, this is only if north korea were to launch a missile towards guam that would fly right over japan. cnn's senior national correspondent is in tokyo for us. talk to us about these pack three interceptors. >> well, the best way to think about them is that this is japan's country's ability to provide its best defenses to any sort of projectile that might come close to this country. these are intercept or missiles. pack three ground based missile interceptors that were originally housed in central japan. after that very specific threat from north korea to guam saying that these missiles would fly right over japan, what we saw

from the japanese government was a pledge to protect this country, moving those pack three missile interceptors from central japan to four different military basis in southern japan. the southwest portion of japan, those specific areas that were called out by the north koreans. and the government saying that they would try to protect the homeland in any way possible. this would not protect the united states if a missile were launched from north korea towards the united states, but if there were any projectiles that were falling to japan, that's the defensive measure that i'm talking about. what is perhaps -- what is most surprising about all of this is where they are being placed. hiroshima, which is forever i am mortal eyesed in history as the place that was a city that experienced and was devastated by nuclear bomb, that is one of the locations where this missile intercept or has been placed. christie. >> all right. we appreciate it so much.

thank you. the north korea threatened to strike the tiny island territory of guam as wun. president trump has assured the governor there the public is safe. martin, talk to us about that conversation between the president and the governor. >> they're in an interesting prospective. they're caught in the cross hairs of any action taken on the part of north korea. at the same time they're on the tip of the spear of any possible response on the part of the u.s. military. it's got a very large air force base just to the northern part of this island. so you've got an island here of about 160,000 people, many of which are americans trying to give this perception that everything is fine and at the same time they're being warned for the possibility of preparing for maybe a nuclear strike of some kind. and you could understand why apprehension is running high beneath the surface and that's why there was conversation that

took place between the governor of guam and the president of the united states. here is some of that. >> we are with you a thousand percent. you are safe. we are with you a thousand percent and i wanted to call you and say hello. how are you? >> mr. president as the governor of guam representing the people of guam and as an american citizen, i have never felt more safe or confident with you at the helm. with all the criticism going on over there, from a guy that's being targeted, we need a president like you, so i'm just so thankful and i'm glad you're holding the helm, sir. >> and the reason that phone call was so important, even though it may sound like just a couple of men having a very simple conversation is the enact that guam as a u.s. territory is a long way away are from the u.s. main happened and sometimes the population here can feel a bit overlooked and especially in a time of crisis like that, that is not something you want the public to feel. so those words coming from the

president do actually resonate quite widely on this island. remember, it's just a little over 2,000 miles to north korea from here. missile nighttime put at 14 minutes. that is not a lot of preparation time that this island would have in the event of the worst. christie and victor. >> very good point. martin, let's listen together here, though, to another part of this call that the president had, and he mentioned tourism in it. let's listen. >> i have to tell you you've become extremely famous all over the world they're talking about guam and they're talking about you, and i think tourism,ic say this you're going to go up in like ten fold expenditure of -- it looks beautiful. you know, i'm watching. they're so much -- it's so -- it's a big story. it just looks like a beautiful place. >> your tourism is going to go up ten fold. martin, what is the reaction to

that part of the conversation? >> well, again, you know, you have to understand that though it is said in a trump like fashion, that too is pretty reassuring here. there are two primary industries on the island of guam, and the biggest one is tourism. 60% of the economy is driven by tourism here. the other 30% is the second big employer, and that's the u.s. military. but if tourism is impacted, that would have a devastating impact on this island as far as jobs, as far as its future, as far as lively hoods of many, many people. so the whole fear throughout this is not just that there could be military action, but if there is some turn off of all of the tourism here, and much of it comes from south korea and from japan, asia. so far we haven't seen any indication of that, but that is the real threat that hangs over, maybe not a military strike, but they do fear the tourists won't come, and if they don't, well, the impact isn't quite the same as an explosion, but it would

have a huge negative consequence here. >> no doubt. all right. martin savage. good to see you this morning. thank you so much. >> well, the president surprised the pentagon by sucking possible military action in another country far from north korea. what venezuela's president is saying about a potential u.s. intervention and how that could play right into ma der row's narrative. we'll talk about that next with our political panel. also, can the u.s. prevent a nuclear strike by way of hacking? a cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker is joining us to talk about that. also, white nationalists holding tovz and marching into the university of virginia's campus. in protest of the removal of a con fed rat astatue. >> we're honoring the founding father's who were white. we're honoring all the great white men who are being smeared and did he famd and torn down. and only one network can be the best...

we think that lots of good things could happen, and we could also have a bad solution. but we think lots of good things can happen i think you know the answer to that. >> when you say bad solutions, are you talking about war? is the u.s. going to go to war. >> i think you know the answer to that. >> that was president trump speaking to reporters, of course not backing down from his talk on north korea's nuclear tensions as they escalate. north korea now offering the latest threat, just minutes ago warning president trump to act properly or america will face its final doom. that's according to a translation from "the wall street journal." will president trump respond to this newest threat? let's talk now about this. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so i first want to start with the red line, the threshold that president trump set yesterday when discussing what could incur the wrath of the u.s. military. let's watch this.

>> and this man will not get away with what he's doing, believe me. and if he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat, which by the way he has been uttering for years and his family has been uttering for years, or if he does anything with respect to guam or any place else that's an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast. >> all right. overt threat. anything with respect to guam, american territory, american ally. let me read for you what the north korean state media released this morning. if the trump administration does not want the american empire to meet its tragic doom they'd better talk and act properly. u.s. has done all sorts of wrong to the dprk. now it finds itself in an ever worrisome dilemma. this is tragic comedy of its own making. this seems to be a strong statement from north korea,

approximate but maybe intentionally not crossing the line of an overt threat. >> well, it sounds a lot like what we have heard from the north korean regime over the years. i'm not sure how different it is. the president in some ways kind of walked himself into a trap by suggesting that even a rhetoric althreat from the regime in north korea would be grounds for military action. ut know now, some of his aids later sort of cleared that up or cleaned it up a little bit, suggesting that, withel, it's the generals who are making the threats, not the leader himself. we're going to hear the kind of rhetoric that we've heard from this regime for decades. they talk big, talk tough. it's a country the economy is the size of the state of vermont. you know, they happen to have an insurance policy in the form of this nuclear threat, but beyond that, they're of notice particular military consequence. what really has to be the focus is making sure that those nuclear weapons stay exactly where they are. it's not clear that the

president's rhetoric is going to change that at all. >> so melissa, does this meet the requirement, the request of china we learned from the conversation between the two presidents last night to dial back the rhetoric? this is pretty much the boilerplate bluster that we get from north korea several times a year without making an overt threat on guam or the u.s., is this the middle ground that allows them to save fails. >> well, i think that remains to be seen. it's not only china. there are several world leaders including russia's foreign minister and the german chancellor who have come out and pushed back on president trump's rhetoric stickel in the wake of his fire and fury president. the president needs our u.s. allies to stand behind him and so far they're calling into question the language that he's using against north korea. and what we've seen in this past week is not only a doubling down of threats against north korea, but a trimming down the threats, and that's exactly what we saw when the president addressed reporters in bedminster yesterday. now, whether or not china feels

like this is that sort of dialing back that they called for and that president trump and president xi discussed in their phone call last night, we'll have to see. >> so, aaron, where is the president on china now? we know during the campaign and the first several of the months, he said that china can fix this, calling on china, i can't believe china would allow this to go on. in the latest round of this fight we're hearing the president call on china less and speak out as the american president, saying, standing up for the country without referencing china in every discussion. >> that's right. reality appears to have set in. perhaps the president is listening to the foreign policy policies who are briefing him. the reality of course is that china has a limited amount of influence over north korea. they certainly are the vast majority of all of the trade with north korea, but on the other hand, they do not want instability on their border. they do not want hundreds of thousands of north koreans pouring into china if that country should fail. they also have some autonomous

province that are mostly korean. they don't want that kind of instability and. finally, it's worth noting it's a different kind of politics than in the u.s., but a major party, they go through this every five years or so reshuffles the top leadership of china. that's set to happen this faum. this is the last thing they want to be involved in, all the potential instability right on their border at a sometime when they're trying to go through a delicate political process themselves. >> let's talk about the surprise from this news conference from the president saying that he's not taking military action off the table in response to what the world has been watching in venezuela. let's go back just a couple of days and listen to the national security advisor, h.r. mcmaster talking about the potential for military action in venezuela. >> do you see a military intervention from any outside source? >> no, i don't think so. i think what's really required

is for everyone to have one voice about the need to protect the rights and the safety of the venezuelan people. >> any indication of how the president got here? not saying that military force is next, but saying at least suggesting it without being prompted by the reporter? >> yeah. i mean, just as many things that president trump does, we don't really know what led him from point a to point b, but i think the comments from h.r. mcmaster, the president's national security advisor was just a stark departure from what president trump said yesterday actually considering a military option. but i think the interesting thing to note here is that particularly when it comes to military options in venezuela, despite the disagreement that there seems to be among the president's top officials, we also have to remember congress's roll in this. just last senator ben sasse came out with a very, very strong statement saying essentially,

look, mr. president, if you're going to send nebraskans into venezuela you better come to congress and ask us to do so first. not only are the president's top advisers advising against military options in venezuela this could really be anish where we see congress come in and push back swell. >> we're just days out from new sanctions on venezuela yans and they stayed away from the oil industry, which if that were to be the next step, that could have a significant impact. so there are measures short of military force that the president could have invoked here. >> absolutely. godness know knows, he could also invoke some diplomacy. there's already a pretty serious backlash against what's going in venezuela from some of their regional neighbors. peru, for example, withdrawing their ambassador. you've got other countries that if the u.s. wanted to try a diplomatic approach could really sort of help move in a credible way to sort of set things right

there or at least put pressure on the regime. the tough talk and the sort of mysterious alugsz to possible invasion are the last thing that's going to advance that. >> all right. thanks for being part of the conversation this morning. >> thank you. >> thanks. hughesing fire and fury to respond to the north korean threat, well, that's the verbiage president trump is using. but next another possibility. how effect active could a cyber weapon be? plus, char lotsville, virginia, bracing for a white nationalist rally today. activists gathering there in protest of removal much a confederate statue. ♪

western pacific, or in california or in new york, that elensure our protection. >> now, listen, there may be a way to neutral eyes the north korean threat without using troops or missiles, tanks or jets. instead, the weapon of choice would be a computer keyboard. remember sets nut he was a secret code that set back iran's nuclear program for years. so the question is could a similar cyber-attack work on north korea? david kennedy is joining us. he's a cybersecurity consultant and a ethical hacker. thank you so much for being with us. back in the spring you said it's 100% possible that the u.s. could prevent a nuclear strike by hacking a north korean missile. given the technology we know they have now, given their capabilities, do you still believe that to be true? >> i do. you know, if you look at our extension of what the military can do, we have a whole fleet that's called cyber command which is an extension of the military force that we can actually go and do. so hacking into their

infrastructure, you know, waiting until they're about to launch, you know, specific missiles and actually blowing them up before they take off. something that we would definitely look to use as part of our extension of warfare where we wouldn't have to launch missiles. we'd actually do preemptive strikes, shut down their infrastructure, are their grid, communications. ways of causing a lot of dismay within north korea to hopefully prevent missiles from actually launching in the first place. >> so could the guidance system be compromised. >> absolutely. we look at a wide array of different ways to impact any type of launches or communications. if the north koreans don't have the ability to even communicate to their systems, to even lock in to actually send the missiles to debt nature in certain locations, they wouldn't even be able to launch in the first place and then we could launch preemptive strikes from south korea as well as our carrier ships across the globe to 2i6 actively go and hit them. so there's a number of variety of ways to shut them down both

from a power perspective as well as how they're actually communicating to their systems and actually shut be down the systems. >> what do we know about the north korean system and the networking that they have. >> they're very much shut off country and they actually have cyber capabilities as well. i wouldn't say that they would have the ability to disrupt what we can do, but, you know, they saw that they were able to take tone sony and other companies. they're very secretive in what they actively go and do. we have a lot of capabilities that are actively trying to get into north korea at a given time. there's times where they boot us out and get back in again. so there's a constant foothold trying to get into their infrastructure and we have folks that are continuing going after their infrastructure, going after their communications and going after their systems. as well as spies and everything else you can possibly imagine imagine that you see in the story books to get access to their critical military infrastructure to shut them down. >> and obviously without

compromising anything, infiltrating north korea, as we were just talking about, very different than infiltrating iran. >> it is. north korea is extremely, you know, not tied to many other governments other than china for the most part and to some extent russia. it's very difficult to get people in there, to use human intelligence and other methods to get inside of the regime itself. they've been very closed off for a long time. it's probably one of the most difficult ones we have available to us. so, you know, getting in there is difficult. map taken access is difficult, but it's definitely and that we have been, you know, focusing on for a large period of time. so we definitely have kablts there. there's no question about it. >> all right. david kennedy, boy, appreciate your insight this morningment thanks for being here. >> absolutely. thanks for having me. >> sure. still ahead on your "new day." why nationalists marched through the university of va's campus overnight, protesting the removal of a confederate statue.
