we'll head to london, clarissa ward is covering things from the iranian angle. so iranian officials and president trump have been trading tweets i guess all morning longe, i guess earlier this morning. >> reporter: they have been trading tweets, this seems to be the new means of doing diplomacy in the digital age. we had heard something of a more conciliatory tone from iran's foreign minister. he was essentially stressing repeatedly that the missiles that were tested were only being used for defensive purposes. yesterday we had heard some stronger, more sort of bombastic rhetoric coming from an adviser to the supreme leader who had said that president president trump shouldn't, quote, make a toy of himself with his, quote, breathless ranting. he had also said that general flynn was an inexperienced individual. so clearly the iranians are taking a tough tone. they have said repeatedly they will continue to test these missiles. and while we are now learning some more details about the sanctions that are being enforced, we have known pretty much all day, and specul

clarissa, this is a striking difference in tone from president trump over the weekend. standing by the prime minister of japan, but still, he didn't exactly go hard after kim jong un. >> reporter: certainly, this was a much more pragmatic, much more presidential tone. i think we've seen a real shift, particularly with regards to foreign policy in president trump's rhetoric, in his attitude on israel, on iran, and on china. and now on north korea. and it's very important with north korea that the president does take a slightly more cautious tone, partially because we know very well that north korea leader kim jong un with a highly volatile, irascible figurehead. he's not somebody you want to bait into provocation. i also think this may well have been something of a test for president trump. we've seen king jong unand his father kim jong il do something over and over again, do something dangerous and provocative, inviting a frenzied response from the international community, forcing everybody to the negotiating table with the hopes then of extracting some kind of economic

clarissa ward in london, you were listening very closely. clarissa, what did you think? >> i think to echo what everybody is saying, it was quite clear this was very heavy on plat attitudes and very light on substance. i think the most striking example of that was when the question of north korea came up, and as you have already said, president trump said it is a very, very -- it is a very big, big problem and we will deal with it very strongly. again, what does that mean? how are you going to deal with that? the international community with like some sort of an assurance there is sort a coherent policy at least being assembled. clearly i think the two main thrusts of this press conference were to say that obviously the relationship with canada is important and that the driving force behind that is also trade. and also terror. it was interesting to hear both prime minister trudeau and president trump really emphasizing canada and the u.s. as fighting terrorism tofgt you heard trudeau repeatedly make allusions to the fact that the fact that canada and the u.s. have fought
