my colleague, fareed zakaria showcases what's on the line in his special. i asked fareed what would a successful summit look like from the u.s. perspective. >> well, i think to be realistic, you are not going to get a deal at this summit and i think one of the big problems we have is that president trump has telegraphed so often that he thinks there's a deal to be had. he thinks it's going to be amazing. it's a very strange way to go about raising expectations on the first meeting you have. so, i think, realistically, a conversation and a meeting where they agree to begin a process of negotiation, and with the clear understanding that that process has to end with the denuclearization of north korea. this is the part that i think president trump doesn't seem to understand. the north koreans have built and acquired their nuclear capacity over, really, 40 years. that's one of the things we go into in this documentary. this is something that has been very deep, deeply part of their dna, their sense of insecurity, their national pride. it seems very unlikely to m
