7:06 am
japan. and some threatening words from kim jong-un's sister today too, kim yo-jong saying north korea will watch every movement of the enemy and take powerful, overwhelming counteraction. now pyongyang's latest posturing has prompted strong and swift condemnation from the u.s. and japan all ahead of larger annual drills between the u.s. and south korea's militaries next month. north korea last tested an icbm back in november. the missiles are particularly concerning because they have the ability to strike anywhere in the continental united states. janai? >> incredibly concerning, britt. thank you for that update. turning now to that high-stakes meeting between top u.s. and chinese diplomats, the first since the u.s. shot down that chinese spy balloon. abc's maryalice parks is at the white house this morning. good morning, maryalice. both sides still digging in. >> reporter: good morning, janai. yeah, u.s. officials described this meeting as rather tense and confrontational. like you said, it was the highest level meeting between these two countries since that chinese spy balloon entered u.s.
7:07 am
airspace. we're told the meeting lasted about an hour, and secretary of state blinken told his chinese counterpart in no uncertain terms that the spy balloon was unacceptable, irresponsible and that this must never happen again, but the chinese dug in too. they claim it was a research balloon and they blasted the u.s. for what they say was an indiscriminate use of force when the balloon was shot down. they say the u.s. needs to fix the relationship. blinken said after that he did not get any kind of apology, and beyond a spying program, the u.s. has really been warning china this week too that there will be real consequences if it helps russia with its war on ukraine either by sending any kind of lethal assistance or helping them get around sanctions. it is clear the white house wants there to be open lines of communication with china to make sure that situations don't escalate, but there's a real concern that the relationship between these two superpowers is at a new low not seen in decades. janai? >> a real concern, maryalice. thank you.
7:08 am
for more analysis now, let's turn to martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" later on this morning. she spoke with secretary of state blinken right after that high-stakes meeting. let's take a look. >> wang yi has said of the chinese spy balloon the whole shootdown incident, it was absurd and hysterical and said cold war mentality is back. is that the message you got from him? >> i don't want to characterize what he said to me, martha, but i think here in munich, we know we're not the only ones on the receiving end of the chinese spy balloons. more than 40 countries have had these balloons go over their territory, and this goes back some years, and i think countries are -- i was going to say pleased, but pleased is the wrong word. they appreciate the fact that we've exposed it. >> all right. martha, i mean the secretary of state there trying to put a positive spin on it, that it has been exposed now, but the fact of the matter is the u.s. really
7:09 am
can't do anything to stop these spy balloon flights. >> well, i think the spy balloon program might really be crippled as far as the chinese go because the u.s. is going to find out so much about that spy balloon, how they operate, what the chinese are doing because they have gotten a lot of the debris including a big chunk of the payload where all the surveillance equipment was. so they're going to have some hard evidence to show to the chinese, and that does put the u.s. in a better position to do something about this, and you also heard the president say, look, we'll shoot down anything that we think is a threat. >> okay. and you asked about concerns that china may start supplying russia with lethal aid for the war in ukraine? >> yes. the secretary -- secretary blinken was very firm on that, that they have seen evidence that they are trying to provide or will try to provide this lethal aid to russia. they've given other kinds of
7:10 am
aid, but not lethal aid so far. so this was a very strong message from the secretary. >> extremely concerning when relations with china and the u.s. are already at such a low. martha, thank you so much. just a reminder that this morning on "this week," martha will interview secretary of state antony blinken and republican senator lindsey graham about the war in ukraine and deteriorating relations between the u.s. and china. eva? well, to ohio now where a federal emergency management agency team is on the scene of that toxic train derailment more than two weeks after it happened. abc's mona kosar abdi is live with the latest. good morning, mona. >> reporter: eva, good morning. governor mike dewine says he had been in daily contact with fema, and although ohio was originally denied assistance, fema reversed course, opening the door to federal aid. this morning, fema disaster teams on the ground in east palestine 16 days since that fiery train derailment unleashed a cloud of toxic chemicals. frustration and skepticism
