complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the entire peninsula. >> president trump: without that, we could have not had a deal. the one thing, we want to denuke the entire peninsula, do you nuke the whole situation. that is a hotbed. you know what has been happening for years. nobody did anything about it. we have no choice. we had to. the relationship was really good. we built it. i talked about early on in the relationship, and the feeling, we had a very good feel right. the beginning. we were able to get something very important done. actually, something's happened after that was signed, sean, where we were getting rid of certainng missile research area, certain a missile testing sites. they are getting rid of a lot. >> sean: in the lead up to this, you are pretty strong

critic of the newsle media. but a lot happened. he crossed over the dmz. three hostages were released. the missiles stopped being fired. he would not have come here if he did not, not willing to talk about denuclearization. >> president trump: that's right. >> sean: so all of that happened before you walked in. i don't remember you sending him cargo planes of cash or gave anything, really. why do you think he is interested in doing this after spending that time? >> president trump: it's interesting. i noticed some of the press -- i'm not knocking them. they have continued to be very good at the subject. some ofba the press would say, he's meeting with him and therefore he has a major loss. i said, since when? others wanted to, it never worked out. probably never could have worked out. we really have gotten a lot, you haven't seenou missiles going up in seven or eight months, haven't seen research, haven't seen nuclear test, very importantly. japan is very happy because they

were being encircled. a period of time when they were middle of japan. we got our hostages back. you are right, we didn't pay for that. i don't say that in a very's way at all because he did such a smart thing, because that wasn't such a good thing to do, and i feel so badly about otto warmbier. that was the one thing. otto did not die in vain. i actually believe -- i've gotten very friendly with his parents, devastated, as you would think i'm a great parents, he was a great young man. but i think without otto, this whole thing wouldn't have happened. a crystallized, when he came back, and that condition, it crystallized so much to so many people. maybe even to the other side, frankly. but i think that otto truly did not die in vain. >> sean: i've known you for a lot of years, and i think one trait that i could say is brutal honesty. in the room, alone, and in the subsequent talks with your team

and their team. how honest? how brutal? what was said? try to bring people into thelo room. >> president trump: we got along really well. wengwe got along from the begin. we started off, he and myself and two interpreters, from the beginning, we got along. i made the statement, i've said it before, i've started about a lot of different kinds of relationships. you can almostnd tell right at e beginning. >> sean: did you tell at the beginning? >> president trump: i felt very good at the beginning. i talked about, we have to dean nuke this country has to be denuke. he understood this. he invited it. we are doing some great things. for his country, and south korea is going to be involved, japan is going to be involved, president xi of china has been really terrific on the border. >> sean: is not aha big part? your meetings, when you met with the president of china, was scheduled, if i recall, for,

like, 15 minutes break the dim sum go on for four hours? >> president trump: he wanted to be at mar-a-lago. we had a 15 minute minute meeting scheduled. we were going to go and breakout meetings marie had many people waiting for us. it lasted four hours. 15 minutes, president of china, great guy, ended up lasting four hours. we just got along.al we have gotten along. i want him to treat us better on trade for a that is only problem. >> sean: is it happening? m didn't they make concessions? >> president trump: it's t tough. they are doing so well. they have made so much progress against us for so many years, awfully tough for them to bring it back and we'll see how that works out. we will do something, definitely, we will do something. they offered us $80 billion in purchases of agricultural products but it's just not enough for what we are talking about. 80 billion. never thought i would turn down $80 billion. we have to do something with

intellectual property, have to do something just generally on trade. lastng year, we lost $500 billin with china, we can't do that anymore. >> sean: let's go to the beginning. ath lot of people, critics, quickly saying, when you said "little rocket man" or "fire and fury," or when he said, "i've got a red button on my desk," you said "mine's bigger and it works better than yours," how did it evolve from that to this? he did say at the very beginning, we are going to basically start over, and what that has been building behind the scenes. >> i think without the rhetoric, we wouldn't have been here. i really believe that. we did sanctions at all of thehi things that you would do. i think without the rhetoric, other administrations, i don't want to get specific, but they have a policy of silence. if they said something very bad, very threatening and horrible, just don't answer.

that's not the answer. that's not what you have to do. so i think the rhetoric, i hated to do it. sometimes i felt foolish doing it. but we had no choice. >> sean: strategically, you are doing it? >> president trump: i think you give respect. he is a strong guy. hey, people were saying, what is he like? he's got a very good personality. he is funny, and he's very, very smart. he's a great negotiator. he is a very strategic kind of guy. >> sean: one of the points that surprisedt everybody, i think every american should be very happy about this, is the korean war, which has gone on for so long, more importantly, there are still american remains there, and they will bet. repatriated. >> president trump: the remains are coming back. re got that at the end. in fact, we have some things thatat we don't even have in the report. >> sean: will you tell us? >> president trump: missile sites that they used for the launching of missiles, missile

research areas, that is going tg be gone. we made a lot of progress, tremendous amount of progress. one of the things i'm very happy about, we are not going to play war games anymore. you know how expensive it is? the massive bombers and for practice from guam. i said, how far is guam? six and a half hours, sir. that is a long way for a big bomber, times 20. lots of other planes going in. we are not going to be doing the war games, as long as we are negotiating in good d faith.ei that is good for a number of reasons, in addition to which we save a tremendous amount of money. you know, those things, they cost -- i hate to sound like a businessman, butbu i kept sayin, what is this costing? i would love them coming in from the sea, bombs exploding, i said, what is this cost? i don't even want to tell you, but it's a lot. we want to be doing that. as long as we are negotiating in good faith, which i think we will be. >> sean: you manage expectations i think pretty well. you didn't think coming in here you are going to sign an

agreement, you said maybe it takes two, three, four, five meetings. you were open to going as fast or slow as he wanted. >> president trump: we got all y wrong better than i assumed. we gotlo a lot more done than i ever thought possible. he's going back. he is headed back. i think he's going back to get this done. he wants to get it done. you hear the whole thing about his father and other administrations, or his grandfather, the fact o is, he brings that up. they weren't dealing with me.er they were dealing with different people. nobody's ever come close. >> sean: talk about the difference between pass administration and yours? >> president trump: yes, i can't say it t because i don't want to be the one to say it. at some point, i'm sure he'll say it. they never got it done. they were never this close. it was never to a point where they were like we are. >> sean: is there a history lesson to learn here? i think in one sense we could talk about past administrations. reagan, evil empire.

mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. his own advisors wanted to take those words out of that speech, and you compare bill clinton gave kim jong un's father $3 billion in energy subsidies. >> president trump: tremendous amount of money. to be when the mullahs in iran, worst history -- >> president trump: worse than after. worse in the wto, which frankly, both china, in addition to thehe money that we gave them all the time. these were terrible deals. i would say that the iran deal was one of the worst i've ever seen. i will say, speaking of the iran deal, since we got out of that deal, we could do it easily because it was never approved by congress. >> sean: it must be approved by congress. >> president trump: i wanted to be approved by congress because otherwise it doesn't mean much. i think anyone would want it approved by congress. since we took out of that deal, we got out of the deal, i think

iran is a much different place. i don't think they are looking so much in the mediterranean, and syria, and yemen. they are starting to pull people out of yemen, starting to pull people out of syria. it's a whole different thing. now i did it for nuclear, one of the side benefits is, you take a look, a serious look, and iran is not the country that it was three or four months ago when they were much more emboldened. >> sean: certainly come a sanctions played a big part, the strike force is that you sent. >> president trump: at a certain point, honestly, i know the iranian people, many people, these are great people, i believe at some point they will come back and want to negotiate a deal. reunification come up? that humanitarian issues come up in the meeting? >> president trump: yes, it did. one of the things i will tell am most happy about, as you know is a big sticking point, is bringing back the remains of thousands of soldiers that were killed. >> sean: this came up last minute. >> president trump: it was

last-minute, yes. would it be possible? i get letters all the time from families who lost a son, brother, father in korea. that was a rough fight. they were buried along the roadways, soldiers going back and forth into battle, they were bearing them along the roadways. and they were saying, please, can you do it. i get so many letters from people who lost a loved one in north korea l essentially. in north korea. i would say, i would try. i brought it up and i will tell you what, it was almost immediate. now in the past, you couldn't even talk about it. but it was really a nice response. >> sean: how quickly did you talk about a trip to the united states? to do talk about -- >> president trump: i think at the right time, he'll absolutely be coming to the white house, yeah.. look, we've been very -- it's been a very intense relationship, it's been short and very intense, of course, before that, it was pretty rhetorical.

it was not a pretty thing. people were very worried. without that, i don't think we would have been here today. he wants to get something done, i want to get something done, i think we'll get it done. we started off by really a very strong document, i think people are surprised to see it. they are shocked. add some more things that we got after that. >> sean: can you give us maybe a glimpse into what -- you keep referring to things that will be coming -- >> president trump: so i think we are now going to start the process of denuclearization of north korea and i believe that he's going back and well started virtually immediately, and he's already indicated that, and you look at what he has done. so we got our hostages back but they have blown up one of their sites, one of their testing sites. their primary testing site, in fact, some people say they're only testing site. they are getting rid of a vessel, which isn't in the document that was done afterwards. they are getting rid of our missile testing site, doing so much now.

it's a process, and it's really moving rapidly. >> sean: last question. i know you have a lot to do. obviously, he wants something on his end. certainly, he wants -- the world community, he wants sanctions listed, his people need economic opportunity, there are people starving. i guess the question is, the order. what would he have to do to get the sanctions lifted, to get the economic opportunity opened up for the people? >> president trump: what he wants his security and i understand that, and he'll get that. and he wants to see if they can make that incredible location because it's an incredible -- it's between china and south korea. think of it. i'm in the real estate businessi think about that. >> sean: [laughs] trump tower in north korea? >> president trump: how good au location is that. china, south korea, right in the middle of both of them, surrounded by water. that is called, like, it could be anything better than that. it's also beautiful land. his incredible land.

i think he wants -- i think he understands -- i told him about that today. i think he really understands i it. >> sean: the chinese, they are involved? the south korean, the japanese? >> president trump: look, china can't be thrilled about a very strong group of people having nuclear missiles with great capability right next to them. i reallyhr do believe they are. they were very, very helpful. i think maybe a little a littls so in the last two or three months because l we were talking about trade and other things. nothing is going to interfere with my relationship with president xi because i have great respect for him. he is really a great man and the true sense. >> sean: one of the best stories you tell, is an interesting story historically speaking, as you were having dessert with him. >> president trump:: that's right. at mar-a-lago. chocolate cake. >> sean: [laughs] you remember. this was after assad had used chemical weaponss on his own people. and you had launched the first strike. >> president trump: i said, mr. president, we just sent 58 missiles into syria to hit a

certain target, and he said, please say it again. i with his interpreter. i said, we just sent 58 missiles. to show you the technology, every single one of those missiles, from 700 miles away, in the ocean, everyone, 58 missiles, 58 hits. incredible technology. what we have is so incredible. so lethal. not that we want to do it, but are so lethal. that was done because it syria, assad used chemical gases on children, and we had to do that. had president obama gone over the redline, i think you may be what about a different story in the middle east. i really believe that. but he didn't do that. wee did. i told him, sitting at mar-a-lago at dinner, -- >> sean: eating chocolate cake. said,sident trump: i either he's going to leave or we'll be friends. he understood. he really understood. i think he really did because he knew that a lot of people, and a

lot of children were killed by gas. yeah, he fully understood. >> sean: i know you have a lot to do. l mr. president, thank you for joining joining me. >> president trump: i appreciate it. >> sean: coming up here and especially additional "hannity," highlights from the president's most recent rallies. don't touch that dial. ♪

donald trump was inaugurated, and after months of predictions that a trump presidency would lead this country in ruins, it is now undeniable that the entire world is seeing a massive, serious progress under the president's leadership. we have pending talks with the north koreanre dictator, that is just days away, we are going to talk about the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, that nows weighs in the balance in te interim. let's see. kim jong un has halted all of his missile tests, no more missiles being over japan in the interim. literally destroying one of his nuclear test sites, it's been disabled. don't forget, three american hostages were also returned, and he walked over the dmz into the arms of the south korean president. all good news, not a dime. like in the case of obama or clinton, showing peace through strength l works. three longtime north korean generals have been fired by kim jong un. another good potential sign of north korea's commitment toward serious reform.
