julie: greg talcott, thank you so much. its sword, president trump is working to engage american allies in reeling in kim jong un with allies like south korea and china and australia. at least hoping that they will help. i'm joined now by kevin rudd, former prime minister of australia. thank you very much for cough talking to us. -- for talking to us. first of all, what kind of help is the u.s. getting and get in trying to reel in north korea? >> the key diplomatic supporter for president trump's strategy at present is actually china. and that's why the mar-a-lago summit with the president was important. i think what president trump achieved there was to deliver a clear message to xi jinping that this was the u.s.' number one national security priority. it wasn't a made-up concern. it's a real concern. it's got technical dimensions and a timetable. and, therefore, bringing pressure to bear through his communications with the chinese to cause them to take new measures with the north koreans that, frankly, is the bottom line
