and nuclear capable b-2 bombers are nearby on guam, also ready if needed. this military posturing costs upward of $1.5 billion a year. south korea pays about half the bill under a cost-sharing agreement reached in 2014. last year the trump administration sought an extra $4 billion for a missile defense system to counter the threat from north korea. for more, i want to bring in nbc news pentagon correspondent hans nichols and msnbc national security analyst, my friend, evelyn farkas. hans, do you first, secre is didn't say the troops would be leaving but didn't rule it out either. what exactly is going to happen here, and how did the troops take this? >> what's going to happen is the president will make a decision and the policy will be translated to the pentagon and the pentagon will have to figure out some way to make that happen. we've seen this time and time again, where the pentagon appears to be caught flat-footed by a policy decision by the president. we've seen it with transgender, you saw it with the military parade. what's very clear from officials

we fly in bombers from guam. when it first started i asked, where to the bombers come from? nearby. where is nearby? 6.5 hours. 6.5 hours, that is a long time for these big, massive planes to be flying to south korea to practice and then drop bombs all over the place and then go back to guam. i know a lot about airplanes. it is very expensive. and i did not like it. and i did say was -- and i think it is very provocative, i have to tell you jnifet is a very provocative situation. when i see that and you have a country right next door, under the circumstances we are negotiating a very conference of deal. i think it is very inappropriate to be having wargames. number one, we save a lot of money. number two, i think it is very muchthat they appreciated. >> did we get something in return? pres. trump: i ofred that. you know, some of the people, i don't know, maybe they mean it. i don't want to go against the don't.i just especially today. i know some of the people are saying, the president has agreed to meet. he is given up so much. i gave up nothing. i'm here. i have not slept and 25 h
