and you were instrumental in bringing dennis rodman to north korea. >> yes, so they have the hall of and they have all the treasures that were given to kim il-sung over his lifetime. so they have a train like 20 stories down in the mountain that stalin gave him. and a car that mao gave him and stuff. and prominently placed is a basketball signed by michael jordan. and basketball is the biggest sport in north korea. you wouldn't have thought that but it is. and they love the bulls.

tim: even though not many people have spoken to kim jong-un -- >> dennis rodman is the only american to have done it, as far as i know. tim: is there any suggestion that this is bring major on his part -- this is brinkmanship on his part? >> i think president trump deserves credit for putting the stock on the american agenda, and he is leaning on president xi to be more helpful with his, and there is some indication that the chinese are doing what they can do. the real dilemma is president trump suggests he is a deal maker but there may not be ideal available. interview said in the today, if there were another nuclear test we would take that seriously. what are the dangers of this escalating further and america being backed into a corner? >> i think that is absolutely a concern. his rhetoric saying we will have to deal with this one way or another does put the credibility of american power at risk. if he is required to take military action, it immediately puts tens if not hundreds of thousands of south koreans at risk. tim: what more can president xi do? what more sanctions can china

only high profile american he met with, former nba star, dennis rodman. >> happy birthday to you ♪ >>im's never even left his country since taking power. but tonight president trump is opening the door to a meeting with the violent erratic north korean dictator. ? an interview with bloomberg news, the president said quote if it is appropriate for me to meet with him, i would, absolutely. i would be honored to do it. if it is, again, under the right circumstances. what circumstances would be appropriate for the president to meet with kim? >> if north korea were ever serious about completely dismantling its nuclear capability and taking away the threat that they pose both to the region and to us, that there's always going to be a possibility of that occurring. that possibility is not there at this time. >> tonight analyst warn a trump meeting with kim jong-un risks legitmizing a leader who killed, imprisoned and starved his own people while building a nuclear arsenal that threatens the west. >> that helps him further in north korean. strengthens him. damage for south korea, treating thi

dennis rodman went to visit with him. >> let's discuss that with our panel this morning.ing. and let's start with you, jackie. big phone call today with vladimir putin. the third for president trump. they interpret everything that comes out of this white house, the tweets, the statements, the interviews. if you are vladimir putin, if you are other world leaders like him, what's the message? what are you interpreting? >> this is just so erratic. one of the things that strikes me about the most recent comments about kim jong-un, president trump said he would be angry if the north koreaens launch ed any missiles. they did that. and then he said he would meet with him. if you're that good of a negotiator, somebody does something you don't like, i'm not a master negotiator, but that doesn't seem how things go. >> it begs the question is there a strategy here or is the president winging it on foreign policy? you look back over the last week some of the random comments that make people wonder what he's thinking. e he questioned why the civil war took place. he would be honored t

as far as i know, the only american he's met with is dennis rodman, the former nba player who went to north korea. >> it's hard to tell what's inside that guy's head. i don't know. but i think even if he said he was willing, i don't think this is the right time. these are not the right circumstances. again, i think that's what sean, my guess is, he's going to pivot on that "if "language. >> he said if it would be appropriate for me to meet with him i would absolutely -- i would be honored to do it if it's under, again, the right circumstances, but i would do that. which is consistent with what he clearly said almost a year ago during the campaign. >> it is. and again, it's all caveat. that's how you get out of something like this. but still, you have to -- even with the caveat it is, as president of the united states, you have to be mindful of the potential signal you're sending to kim jong-un about boosting him up on this level in the world stage where he clearly doesn't deserve to be. this is ironic, because this is the same administration that in the wake of a couple of tests have

. >> we can send dennis rodman in the meantime. you didn't laugh at that. that's okay.n. the president spoke with vladimir putin just yesterday. what do we have to do to either make that relationship right, or i don't even know what making that relationship right means at this moment. >> well, making it right in my judgment means identifying areas where we can cooperate. and there are many such areas. foremost among them syria. and try to get traction on them rather than spending our time disagreeing on the issues in which we inevitably will disagree. in which we've disagreed for now for more than a half century. and i think president trump has seriously misread president putin in the past. whether he's now come to realize that putin is not this great leader that he once described, but, in fact, is a leader who's in a desperately difficult condition as his country experiences population decline, a contracting economy, a massive federal budget -- federal budget deficit, a decline in the standard of living for many of their people, i think that it is possible to do busine
