the highest ranking figure from north korea to come to the white house in nearly twenty years he delivered a personal letter from kim to trump as part of efforts to get the summit back on track of this is the latest twist in a diplomatic drama that has played out over twitter and on television trump praised the role of china's president in touching this summit forward. i think we see a lot of very positive things happening with president xi who is. me quite a bit with this so we'll see where it leads but we're going to be june twelfth will be in singapore it'll be a beginning i don't say and i've never said it happens in one meeting you talking about years of hostility here's the problem. is it really hatred between so many different nations but i think you can have a very positive result in the end now from one meeting. or earlier i spoke to always on the phenomena at the white house and i began by asking how these two

politicians came to their decision to hold this summit in single poor after all. well apparently the conversation the us president had with this high level north korean invoice in the oval office and stead of developments in the last weeks and days has convinced to say yes let's. schedule summit in singapore back on he said that it was a good meeting that the relations are building and that that is very positive and he also said that that it was the thought of getting to know each other that they talked about almost everything and that he believed yes he knew how he put it that the north korean regime is really really wants to get rid of its nuclear weapons but that is of course something that the north korean have to proof first and he also said that he believes steps to summit in singapore would be the first

meeting a starting point of a longer process you know it's interesting that we're hearing terms like longer process isn't it we know that the biggest stumbling block to this summit has been the pace of denuclearization so what impact would you say today's talks what impact do they have on that issue. well we know that this north korean envoy keamy young shoulders is a very experienced negotiator and verse on the issue of to make that was a and we can assume that they talk about it but of course we don't know where the north koreans are really willing to offer any concessions to be yes hat all the plans summit and seeing the poor at the moment it's rather seems like that the president the u.s. president really wants to have this summit. and alexander what does this mysterious
