president donald trump's national security advisor john bolton is visiting moscow where he's currently meeting the russian president vladimir putin let's cross over to. for more on the meeting the purpose of john bolton's visit you mentioned earlier in your report better relations with russia what do we expect to come out of it. well they're meeting now and they've both made opening statements vladimir putin stated the obvious that you know the relations between russia and the united states right now. exactly in their best shape and he says that because of internal political dynamics in the united states you know political struggles between various factions of the united states but he said john bolton's visit to russia even in an overt itself gives gives hope that relations will be restored between russia and the united states to which john bolton said that you know we'll will meet anyone we're open to even meeting a rainy and officials and that donald trump is supports global global stability and they both reiterated that nobody wants any sort of conflict but the white house clearly s

national security advisor john bolton to moscow where he met with the russian president. reports. like the mayor putin's advisors has revealed that this summit was indeed agreed upon before john bolton trumps national security advisor even came to moscow so this must must have been in the works for quite a while as i say details this guy all we know is that there it will happen outside of russia outside of the united states somewhere in a neutral country third party will play host the meeting is expected to last a few hours and end in a joint declaration by both donald trump and blasphemy of putin which which will be a breakthrough given covered relations earlier today we saw blood timea putin meet john bolton and you know it was all very official handshake smiles but they exchanged a few words an opening statement and let me a putin said that relations he was being perhaps very diplomatic he said relations out in their base shape now others might say they've never been worse but. said that this is the fault of internal u.s. politics and dynamics i have to begin with regrets a bel

and donald trump's national security advisor is visiting moscow john bolton is meeting that amir putin let's cross live now to our tease for more a lot to talk about obviously what topics do you think will be on the agenda today . well the white house made clear why john bolton national security advisor was coming in was to discuss difficult and outstanding issues between russia and the united states syria. developing arms race as well as relations which are at an all time low but when vladimir putin and john bolton met today was all very civil very official and both expressed hope that you know tomorrow would be brighter than it is today putin opened up by saying that he was being diplomatically polite that will. in their best shape but he said that is more the fault of internal u.s. struggles political struggle here dynamics. but it would have to begin with regrettably stating that relations between russia and the u.s. are not in the best shape and i said it many times and i want to repeat it at the meeting with you i think this is a result of acute internal political clashes within

sending john bolton here that was think a message of itself john bolton is a hawk he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policies real support of making america great again no matter the cost to others be they opponents or allies but he said you know where we're donald trump is for stability that we're here and we're ready to meet with anyone and that's john bolton. the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance if you make them feel pain and others feel pain then the possibility of deterring future conduct like this increases that's what we need to do the white house was pretty straightforward when they issued a statement as to why john bolton was coming in was that this discuss serious issues such as syria ukraine the developing arms race between russia and the united states alleged in the fear and by russia and the u.s. elections as they say but john bolton said during his meeting with vladimir putin that you know he hopes he expressed hope that relations can be restored and that the two countries can find common

intelligence community has concluded that that interference did take place but bolton said that it's important to get the two men into the same room to start hashing out these issues and to try to build this relationship for the long term one other point bolton before he joined the trumpet ministration had been very critical of moscow's behavior and several of the reporters during this press conference raised some of his past writings as a question you know how do you square what you did before the administration with what you're doing now and he basically said that when you joined a presidential administration in the u.s. you put your personal views aside and you were there as an advocate for the president now whether people in the room bought it whether people in the kremlin buy it regardless glad to hear putin gave john bolton an audience on wednesday and that is of itself is quite significant thank you very much jordan in washington. a rescue ship with more than two hundred refugees and migrants on board is being allowed to dock in malta after spending six day stuck at sea as gov

bolton.l-known war hawk. he's called for war with iran and made the case for a preemptive attack on north korea. he can be just as aggressive in his personal behavior, evidently. in 2005, a republican congress refused to confirm him as u.n. ambassador because of reports he would "bully government analysts" and had "a history of berating and undermining anyone who attempted to challenge him." and keep in mind, this was before that was considered presidential. ( laughter ) and even worse, even worse, when a federal contractor criticized a deal bolton was working on, she said "bolton threw a tape dispenser at her, shouted threats, chased her down a moscow hotel hallway, pounded on her door, and 'generally behaved like a madman.'" which is easily the second-worst thing a member of this administration has done in a russian hotel. ( laughter ) allegedly. ( applause ) allegedly. so, this is very unnerving. our incoming national security advisor, john bolton, is being portrayed as an unstable warmong

with that with regards to this meeting with the russians but john bolton bolton should be available to the press later today we've got a whole bunch of questions lined up for him and you know once we hear his answers it might give us a clearer picture of whether the united states genuinely wants better relations with russia. and i'll tell you some what i guess dear thank you. father was an unexpected outcome of choose various primary elections in the u.s. state of new york twenty eight year old socialist alexandria a car so quite a terse challenge the incumbent democratic party candidate and won a seat in congress is a correspondent. the country is reacting to the results of the primary congressional elections that took place tuesday in five u.s. states now the media has focused on the fight between donald trump and his critics but a lot of the surface another fight is boiling the fight for control of the democratic party in new york city's borough of the bronx a ten term democratic congressman faced off against a twenty eight year old for the nomination of the democratic party because

that bolton is laying that groundwork where can we expect. a lot of u.s. companies i think trump who wants that spread trade really wants a big high in u.s. companies to do business with. moscow particularly in the oil and gas field i think they i think trump sees that he wants that. moscow is doing quite well with the oil and gas effort and once the u.s. companies the being gauged also i think it's going to have. some kind of a back. and impact on the europeans you'll recall that at the g. seven trump suggested that russia be admitted to make a g. eight again and the europeans balt and i think that. because he's showing he's been nice. trump has been nice toward moscow i think this is going to be even much more upsetting to the europeans considering how he. trying to derive did them in leaving canada and and we have an upcoming nato meeting and trump has clearly demonstrated he has no affection for the e.u. or for nato so i think the europeans are probably wondering what what's going to come of it in terms of relationships and and also a geo strategic thi

the other day talking about how putin has devoured trump i think i think mr bolton who is by no means pro russian is saying yes there is reason why the leaders of these two countries need to talk and find solutions or beautiful concerns who could disagree with that unfortunately we have a lot of people who i think are have literally become hysterical and do disagree with say so what do you think of president trump will be hoping to get out of this summit in helsinki and. on the other hand what you think putin wants. i think mr trump is focused on the big picture and that is american national interest that's one of the reasons why he met with president xi of china early on despite some very serious differences we have a china over trade in particular he realizes that russia is the key player not only places like ukraine and syria and also a significant influence within the korean situation but that we need to find some kind of a broader understanding with the other major power on this planet i think that's the first thing the mere fact he now feels free enough to go forward that meetin

bolton said that don't trump ease fool mending relations with russia despite criticism both adds who at the brought the fact is that it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet there are a wide range of issues despite the differences between the square at those present tramp and present couldn't think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea which you know it's important that it's john bolton saying those words because he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policy you cool russia's alleged meddling in the u.s. elections an act of rule and dad now he's backing donald trump saying that we do indeed need this summit that you know it will benefit it will benefit everyone especially at this stage when. vladimir putin put the relations not in the best shape which is perhaps diplomatically very polite others would say that the relations between the united states and russia. are at an all time low i have to begin with regrets a belief stating that relations between russia and the us are not in the best shape and i said

we have all spent time with michael bolton -- "michael bolton." i wish! ambassador bolton on the couch and we know what a tough critic of russia he is. to send him there to do advanced work and figure it out, i think it's the way that president trump prefers to do business. one on one. >> is it the right message to send to putin? now democrats are concerned about russia. >> jessica: if question are going to go i want bolton to go first, i guess is what i say about it. the optics of it are bad but more than the optics of it. this is a president haslam been resistant to calling putin the thug he is. you should send the most hawkish representatives in advance if you do it. you could also not do it. >> rachel: we had a conversation in the last segment about how encounter and conversation and talking to people you don't agree with. is that still worthy here? >> richard: we talk to people we don't agree with but i'd rather see the president fix the relationship with the canada and germany and mend our allies before we deal with the number one adversary. >> why?

national security advisor john bolton to moscow where he met with the russian president was deaf reports. this summit is indeed happening what have lied to me at putin's a aides also said that it was organized before john bolton's visit to moscow but we learned we had a few details as to why or how this summit was organized john bolton said that don't trump ease for mending relations with russia despite criticism both at home at the broad the fact is that it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet there are a wide range of issues despite the differences between us where both president trump and president couldn't think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea which you know it's important that it's john bolton saying those words because he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policy equaled russia's alleged meddling in the u.s. elections and act of war and dad now he's backing donald trump saying that we do indeed need this summit that you know it will benefit it will benefit everyone especially at the stage where

like to hear someone say that's a better idea now that almost sounds like a challenge coming from bolton and perhaps unsurprisingly people both at home and abroad are taking him up on it as fears are being raised over the meeting between trump and putin and the media is awash with articles on that topic most of the concerns seem to be coming from nato members who feel what trump might promise putin when the two of them get together the nato members surely fear that trump could call for a reduction in troops and equipment or even possibly the suspension of drills that are carried out in the region and back at home for trump he's likely to have criticism coming from people who'll say once again that they will put responsible for all the accusations surrounding the meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election will say that he is again not being tough enough on russia and it could also also possibly bring up the specter of collusion once again not that it ever really want to wait. but it will bring it to the forefront once again more than likely but at this point it seems like this summ

president donald trump's national security adviser john bolton has arrived right here in moscow where he'll be meeting with the russian president vladimir putin. for details on this. one might expect there's a list of issues for the two to discuss here what are your expectations. i'd house said itself the as a number of reasons outstanding serious issues between russia and the united states we're talking syria ukraine we're talking this developing arms race as some call it as well as what the united states calls alleged russian interfering in the u.s. two thousand and sixteen elections but the real juice of it is that there's been a lot of talk room is mostly about a potential meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin face to face but look at who's coming john bolton he said to meet with me a putin but the character himself speaks volumes john bolton is a hawk he's aggressive when it comes to foreign policies are the real america first everyone else second kind of guy so even if trump is you know set on improving relations with russia which are a absolute low it's not a fact tha

meet john bolton and you know it was all very official. smiles but. few words an opening statement and said that relations he was being perhaps very diplomatic he said relations out than there. are now others might say they've never been worse but. said that. the fault of internal u.s. politics and dynamics. have to begin with regrettably stating that relations between russia and the us are not in the best shape and i said it many times and i want to repeat it at the meeting with you i think this is a result of acute internal political clashes within the u.s. but your visit to moscow gives hope that we'll be able to at least take the first steps. between our countries. while this trip john bolton coming to moscow has been talked about for weeks there was so much speculation about what you know what the point was given this this is john bolton himself and he's aggressive in his foreign policy he's. the sort of person that would always put america first there's everyone out second coming here and you know this breakthrough coming now is certainly someth

the battle of john bolton versus mike pompeo. what they feel. tariffs have been involved in this and sanctions. when it comes to the actual domestic stuff it's a battle of people trying to fight each other basketball. they are not debating each other. i don't like you. a lot of the people complaining about leaking, the people on tv are some of the leaks as well. it's a lot of mess when it comes to domestic. >> it's interesting to know john bolton seems to be sidelined in this process. this whole career has been denuclearization of the korean peninsula. he hasn't been in the last two months a key player in this. kennedy: he's going. >> even when you look at the president, he talked about how they are afraid of john bolton. i think john bolton has become the trump bad cop. kennedy: i think you are right. i think the president appreciates that john bolton really gets under their skin. he says things the president doesn't have to. john bolton, like hip or not, he has an incredible command of the facts. he just has a very specific way -- >> i don't t

well i think that the president and john bolton in turn at the will of the president because he answers directly to the president serves at the will of the president i think it's completely normal that we would want to meet with russia every u.s. president in the history of my life anyway has met with the president of russia and i think that mean taining dialogue and discourse are important next steps between the two countries and i don't know why as as john bolton said i don't know why anyone would be opposed to that and i think that most americans would hope that whatever the united states and russia could agree on would be able to be discussed and so that if there are some good things they can agree on they can move forward on those things. while doing fifteen of the russia world cup decided which of the remaining teams would make it through to the knockout stage over now to neil harvey and peter schmeichel from our special studio in some. yeah we call it all special steve but because the view is special we have a special player but it also had me peter schmeichel who has been treate

he knows that the north koreans don't like john bolton. john bolton has called for regime change.not to upset kim jong-un anymore that he is sidelining his own national security adviser. you have to ask, are the north koreans doing the same thing? is kim jong-un not going to let anyone in the room that is to me, this shows that north korea is in the driver's seat. >> so it shows you north korea is in the driver's seat. is this giving north korea what they want? >> well, we got to be careful. i think sam is right. if you want a deal badly, you're going to get a bad deal. but i think that this divergence between pompeo and the secretary of state just sort oflects the tension of the president who wants to go big and john bolton who is always skeptical of doing business with rogue regimes. he's focused on the details, the who, what, when, where of denuclearization. i think the secretary of state is saying, let's think about how we get to a peace treaty so sooner orter, they got to come together for a good deal, but there is definitely tension in the room. >> definitely tension. how un

and to the bush administration bolton's libya option is it off the table now because again lever of apparently was told by kim jong un in the past few days that kim jong un does not like us had geminids him well definitely the idea that the united states would seriously push for a libya option is off the table that bad course is what bolton proposed and i think proposal itself was clearly an effort to blow up the talks i think it is contributed to the campaign that we've just talked about it was essential to a feature of that young pain and that was the function of what bolton said but what trump has actually said over the last week has made it clear that that he does. not entertain the notion of demanding that north korea turn over immediately all of its nuclear weapons to be shipped off to a location in the united states he knows and he said so that that is going to take a much more lengthy and complicated process in which the united states will be expected to make some significant concessions to north korea specifically and particularly with regard to its security and just briefl

john bolton to which he. said i don't want to reply i don't want to comment on this question but let me also extend. friendship they both reads rates at the. federal nations to make he said he couldn't even offer to share russia's experience of who. i want to congratulate you on winning the right to host the fifa world cup in twenty twenty six we so far managed to organize the world cup appropriately we'll be happy to share our experience. most appreciative of your courtesy and graciousness here and i look forward to hearing how you. successfully among other specific details when donald trump will meet still secret they decided to share them synchronously the kremlin and the white house and washington together tomorrow. some new creation it will be russia the united states it will be a. country the event in a meeting that six back to the last few hours ago and in a joint declaration. now known trump has also confirmed that the meeting has been agreed on adding that ukraine and syria are likely to be among the

john bolton may beside lined from the process. has learned that tension with pompeo and bolton have reached a boiling point, we're told. we are told that there was a heated exchange with the two men following bolton's libya model comments which angered north korea and kim jong-un. bolton was not invited to friday's meeting where north korean top official delivered a letter from kim jong-un to president trump over at the white house. you see the picture. both men smili there. that was friday in the oval office. joining us from capitol hill is the hawaii senator. a democrat. a key member of the senate armed services committee and the j judiciary committee. what do you think of the tension with the national security adviser and secretary of state over north korea? >> this does not set a reassuring stage for any diplomatic resolution and agreement with north korea. this is the kind of diplomacy that takes months to set up and you have two key people at odds with each other which is typical for this administration. not to mention tha y

as far as john bolton not being there, the president is someone who has thought he could handle this largely on his own, but north korea was upset by john bolton's comments about this before. >> kevin, let me play for you what president trump told reporters of after that meeting. take a listen. >> a letter was given to me by kim jong-un and that letter was a very nice letter. >> it was a very interesting letter. >> i haven't seen the letter yet. i purposely didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it. i didn't open it in front of the director. i said would you want me to open it? he said you can read it later. i may be in for a big surprise, folks. >> kevin, it is hard to overlook that obvious contradiction. was that letter simply immaterial to the president's decision to move forward with the summit? what do you make of that response? >> i just think the response speaks for itself. one of the takeaways here is this is a response to where we were just in the last weeks. it would suggest that secretary of state mike pompeo, the former cia director, former congressman, has really been

so not just bolton over there.ince he got too his new job, secretary of state mike pompeo is open to diplomacy? >> yes. i think this is a perfect sidelining someone because that person's views this moment in time doesn't hold up what with -- what he is trying to achieve at this moment. the question is does president trump actually have a bigger vision when it comes to what he wants to accomplish in the korean peninsula and what is troubling for a lot of people is that they see how he behaves and they are worried that the only thing he is consumed by and driven by is wanting that photo op and handshake. there is not much beyond that. by the way, his views and mood are so volatile that he could be more allied with pompeo today, but that could change tomorrow which i think is what you are suggesting. >> i would say that i talked to somebody at the white house. that talk about libya model. everybody was on the same page. the principles at the white house were going to talk about this. to your point, mj, it is when thin

president trumps national security advisor john bolton has arrived in moscow is going to be meeting with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov he'll also be meeting with the russian president vladimir putin. has this report. white house said itself that the official purpose of this visit is to discuss the outstanding in serious issues between russia and the united states but really what everyone's talking about is that potentially they're setting up a meeting between the lad timea putin and donald trump and in that vein vladimir putin himself is going to meet john bolton later today as to the and bastard of john bolton in this case well he's quite the character he's a real hawk aggressive when it comes to foreign policy a real kind of america first everybody else second kind of guy so even if donald trump eases interested in in warming relations you know making up with russia now the relations are at an all time low it isn't a fact that john bolton build support him. the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance if

this is why, according to one source, bolton is now cut out of the process. cut out of the north korea issue, at least for now. and that's really stunning to see, especially when he came in to make changes and to get things like this done. >> just wondering, we'll be watching the relationship between bolton and trump after this moving forward. michelle kosinski, thank you very much for that. >> ahead here, a wide-ranging interview with president putin, how often they talk on the phone and their joint concerns for both countries. you're watching cnn. m brooke baldwin. whoooo. looking for a hotel that fits... ...your budget? tripadvisonoch over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. at crowne plaza, we know business travel isn't jus

they're learning of an escalating feud between pompeo and john bolton.ichelle kosinski is joining me now on this. tell us about this. >> reporter: john bolton the president's national security adviser came on the scene, joined the administration with something of a splash. he immediately started making changes. so it's been pretty surprising over the last several days leading up to this big trump/kim jong-un summit. to not see john bolton to anywhere, it's been mike pompeo, the secretary of state who's been next to the president, who's been going on the trips and making the statements and john bolton has seemed to be quite silent all of a sudden. now we know from multiple sources that that is because of those comments he made referencing north korea but calling it the libya model and making a comparison there, which we know from other sources, angered the north koreans to the point that they didn't want to talk to him. they didn't want that model used because gadhafi gave up his nuclear weapons and years later he was killed by rebels supported by the uni

. >> while visiting moscow, john bolton announced an upcoming meeting between president trump and russian president vladimir putin. his announcement comes after a series of meetings with russian counterparts to work on details of the summit. this part of the press conference is 10 minutes. >> president trump asked me to come and speak to russian authorities about the possibility of a meeting between him and president putin. there will be an announcement on that tomorrow simultaneously in moscow and washington on the date and time of that meeting. [speaking foreign language] >> with any luck, i won't give away either of those pieces of information today, so that the kremlin and white house can announce them tomorrow. [speaking foreign language] >> i should also say i was pleased to be able to meet with the fifa president to discuss the u.s.-canada-mexico hosting the 2026 world cup just to get an early jump on our preparation. [speaking foreign language] >> with that, i would be happy to answer your questions. [foreign language] >> are you sure they haven't given you a multitude of question

to meet with the president, secretary pompeo was in the room, bolton was not. pompeo advised the president that would be counterproductive to have bolton in the room with this north korean official. don't forget, this is again the member of the administration taken the hardest line against north korea, counterproductive to have that man in the room as the administration works to make sure the meeting now billed as a meet and greet does, in fact, happen. john? >> keep your national security adviser out of the room on a key matter of national security. alexandrafield, great to have you with us. thanks so much. >>> how is the white house preparing the president for the north korea summit? we'll ask a man who knows former nsa and cia director michael hayden. that's next. was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. until her laptop crashed this her salon wasmorning.for weeks, having it problems? ask a business advisor how to get on demand tech support for
