john. president trump has said little progress has been made, after declaring back in june there was no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. u.n. ambassador nikki haley acknowledged it's possible that north korea may be having second thoughts about giving up its nuclear weapons. yesterday, defense secretary james mattis announced joint military exercises with south korea would resume after mr. trump earlier agreed to suspend those exercises. as long as the north was negotiating in good faith. sources tell cbs news a setback unfolded after the national security team met at the white house here friday. and reviewed that letter from north korea which reportedly said the north wanted the u.s. to sign a peace treaty to formally end the korean war. secretary pompeo still remained optimistic after that, but it's unclear when negotiations will resume. gayle? >> all right, weijia jiang, thank you. >>> a new report shows hurricane maria is officially the most deadly u.s. natural disaster in the last century. puerto rico's government requested an independent review and it found that maria killed an estimated 2,975 people. now, that's more than 46 times the orig
