welcome to the "overnight news." i'm don dahler. president trump is back at the white house, touting the success of his landmark nuclear deal with north korea. after the long flight back from singapore, the president tweeted, everybody can now feel much safer than the day i took office. adding there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. well despite the president's confident assessment, questions remain about how and when north korea will fully shut down its nuclear program. and what dictator kim jong-un will get in exchange. here's our correspondent.
3:31 am
>> reporter: a tired president trump emerged from air force one this morning. back in the u.s. after his singapore summit with kim jong-un. >> i believe that chairman kim wants to get it done. >> the president declared on twitter, there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. and, sleep well tonight. his counselor kellyanne conway contradicted the message. >> obviously there has to be complete verifiable, irreversible. that will take a while. >> but that language, verifiable and irreversible was not in the joint statement signed by the president and kim. secretary of state mike pompeo in seoul to brief south korean and japanese officials, told reporters who asked why those word were not included. i find that question insulting and ridiculous and frankly ludicrous. arguing they are implied. president trump has the tasked pompeo with negotiating the details of north korea's denuclearization. today he expected a major disarmament by the end of mr.

3:34 am
once every 20 second. of course they would have to get all the fighter jets back on board. this is how they do it. >> president trump called provocative war games. the very same language the north koreans used in their anti-u.s. propaganda. >> it is a very provocative situation. so under the circumstances, that we are negotiating a very comprehensive complete deal. i think it is inappropriate to be having war games. >> before the summit, president trump said he would not give the north koreans anything until they completely denuclearize. the north koreans are saying they actually agreed to a step by step process. and that usually means north korea gets incentives along the way. new financial disclosures show the first daughter and husband continue to earn millions of dollars while serving as unpaid white house advisers. ivanka trump and jared kushner had to step aside from family businesses to work in the trump
