president lincoln, meet kim jong-un. >> anybody said we'd be sitting here today talking about kim jong-un sitting down with president donald trump. >> he's like a maniac. >> you would have thought we were insane. >> in just months, we have gone from schoolyard taunts. >> he's a sick puppy. >> to the hair raising rhetoric of war. >> they will be met with fire and fury. >> to a history-making moment. >> trump's groundbreaking summit with kim jong-un. >> i think it's going to be a very big success. >> the stakes could not be higher. >> read the twitter feed. follow it increasingly closely. >> kim jong-un knows and has read "the art of the deal." >> but donald trump wrote the book. >> this is the ultimate deal. >> great danger on the downside. but if he could pull it off there's tremendous reward on the upside. >> danger. from a violent dictator. >> his own uncle killed by a firing squad. >> they're not crazy. they're brutal. >> but now, a new face of kim jong-un. >> all of a sudden he is literally toasting with the most powerful leaders in the world. >> this is north korea? >> kim jong-un at

kim jong un like a business colleague. selling denuclearize a fantastic business opportunity for a brighter future. heather: the summit is being held there in vietnam, an example to kim jong un and what could happen with north korea. >> hanoi is a symbolic location, kim jong un appreciates that. there is a better and brighter future than north korea. kim jong un's choices simple, trade nuclear weapons for economic prosperity. a good deal and he should take it. heather: should we agree to sanctions relief before we have proof that they are taking steps needed to denuclearize? >> these are not us sanctions entirely, they are un sanctions. we keep the pressure on. it will depend on what kim jong un brings to the table. it is in his hand. heather: we will see what happens. it is something donald trump, the first sitting us president to meet with a north korean leader, his second sit down with him happening a few hours from now. we appreciate it. time is 18 after the top of the hour, donald trump's border emergency facing a wal

donald trump's high-stakes summit with kim jong un.e have the progress expected and what it means for denuclearization. here at home michael cohen in the hot seat, donald trump's

kim jong un is ruthless. we had the fire and fury phase and at the winter olympics in seal he let it be known he would be willing to engage south korea and the united states, donald trump took him up on the that, the singapore summit as a result. what donald trump that has done is important, he's not in any rush for agreement and it is important, there's a criticize the president walking away with a deal that, lowering expectations and rightly so with an eye towards demanding more from kim jong un. that is the right strategy. it is up to kim jong un. pete: he said do you trust me? he said yes and the president does, i do. >> it will be deeds rather than words. rob: we just saw daniel hoffman in vietnam. let's talk about what happened in the house of representatives late in the day yesterday. she said she was going to bring it up and it passed. a resolution to nullify the president's national emergency declaration. it passed by a healthy margin 245-182. it will go to the u.s. senate where mitch mcconnell hopes

kim jong-un will want something. going to give up a nuclear enrichment plan he'll want something. we don't want to back away from the sanctions the u.n. imposed. trish: even though russia and china are not actually following it. >> i think maybe we haven't been as tough with china on this because of the trade deals going on. hopefully if they get that agreement in march we knowledge get back to being tough on them in terms of the sanctions. trish: do you think sanctions work? i would rather engage in trade wars and i would rather we lose out economically in has been a lot of concern about how much weight can we put on china to help with the negotiations. but would i think we would want to use all the economic leverage we could to help influence the situation before we wind up ever engaging from a military perspective. >> absolutely. your thoughts on that? >> there is no summit taking place fit weren't for the economic sanctions. that's what brought kim jong-un to the table. in singapore and that's why he's here today

i like kim jong un. on top of the letters they exchanged, the president sang a political rally, basically fell in love, all of that stuff raising eyebrows whether he's being too nice to a dictator, when you see the dictator saying i didn't know you knew this much about what i am secretly doing, if you are right it raises real questions about whether we can trust this man but that makes the president's point more important which is i am not signing onto a bad deal with a guy i may not be able to trust. if i can trust him, i can back him into a corner in 6 months from now get a better deal, who cares if i can trust him. if i can verify it and get in writing that he's going to denuclearize and sending independent inspectors, that is better. you can't trust him today. jillian: great coverage overnight. let's continue on, joining us on the ground is cia station chief dan hoffman who was tapped to join the intelligence advisory board. not sure you were listening, i want to bounce off of this idea of trust. we

kim jong un is the same kind of guy. he sees himself as the guy in charge, and so when you get the two of them in a room together, you're not sure what's going to happen let me make one other point in that stanford speech steve bagan said the north koreans had agreed to dismantle all of their bombmaking material production facilities, and that includes these uranium enrichment facilities. it's not quite clear, and i think the dust has to settle a little bit it's not quite clear what actually happened in hanoi in terms of the give and take between the two leaders. >> welling, joel, this has been a 25-year process. you know that. you were part of the 1994 u.s.-north korea framework agreement. that, of course, with kim jong un's father. what do you think is the difference here in the style and the goals of kim jong un versus kim jong il, his father? >> well, you know, history is one of my favorite topics, and i'm not going to bore you with the ins and outs, but everyone thinks the 1994 deal was a failure, and it wasn't beca

goes to meet kim jong un, he will be probing kim jong un, asking key questions and ascertaining whethere is serious about denuclearization. >> ed: we play the sound with kristin, the president seeming to be cautiously optimistic about a deal. we are to be clear that the north koreans have made promises before, even before kim jong un, have lied to come have, haven't followed through. how does this president, who promised in singapore that denuclearization was going to happen very, very quickly, the cia doesn't believe that has happened. so how do we get there? >> one of the things about this president i don't think he gets enough credit for as we have seen him swivel on issues. we have seen them do it in afghanistan and on syria most recently. what he said in singapore is entirely different from today. but i think he is setting the right tone by saying and he is not in a rush. for me, i recall in president reagan walked away from the reykjavik summit with secretary gorbachev, didn't make a deal because it was the wrong deal. i think that is the right tone for the president to set to req

between the president and kim jong un in singapore and here is that we really can object to kim jong un on and his advisors. at the forefront of kim jong un's mind are the lessons learned from other dictators like muammar qaddafi, who gave up his nuclear weapons capability and was overthrown. and i think you get back to something your previous guests said, and enter the war would give kim jong un some level of confidence that we recognize his regime, that might be something that we tell mike might him to pursue at least some initial steps towards denuclearization. >> shannon: down half their life on the ground in vietnam, thank you very much for your insight, it's always great to have you. >> thanks. >> shannon: what can president trump actually get accomplished this week? is there anything he can do that his critics will actually give him any credit for? who will bring back our power panel who will tell us what they hope is accomplished, some goals they think the president should shoot for. they join us again, next. ♪ chicken?! chicken. chicken! that's right, candace-- new chicken cr

only when she checked around did kim jong un emerge. she is kim jong un's sister.s increasingly and quietly at the forefront of her older brother's charm offensive. >> she's there giving in best in terms of how he can handle big meetings, the press, what to do. so she is all of the above, pncp.r. person, substance person and making sure her brother is complete l completely protected. >> reporter: from handing her brother an ashtray and meeting with president trump and meeting with mike pompeo, she seems to be everywhere for her brother. one diplomat said she sees it as a positive move he is being drawn closer. >> she comes from the same mother and it's somebody that he has grown up with that he feels very comfortable with and trusts implicitly. >> she sled north korea's delegation to the winter olympics last year where the regime unveiled its diplomatic offensive to the world. >> she acquitted herself quite well at the opening ceremonies as opposed to vice president pence who basically tried to avoid having any eye contact with the north koreans whatsoever. >> repo

all eyes are on a kim jong-un to produce something.ays he wants to denuclearize and told the press that, president trump needs to say write it down, explain what you mean by denuclearize, let's get some concrete things down. president trump is not representing the aggressor country, it is a kim jong-un. >> shannon: we want to make sure you get in there and we want to talk about how you they defined this idea, this term, denuclearization appeared panel, hold on stick around, we are continuing live coverage of the hanoi summit. you are looking at live there, the two teams on either side continue to meet appeared in the north koreans, the americans, they head into a working lunch. he will hear from them as soon as it happens. stick around. the third stair always creaked. and your mother told me all her life that i should fix it. now it reminds me of her. i'm just glad i never fixed it. listen, you don't need to go anywhere dad. meet christine, she's going to help you around the house. the best home to be in is your own. from personal care

, and kim jong-un's approval. we're not dealing with a democracy there. so, you know, this is what you call a personal summit versus a plenary or political summit. and i think he realizes that that's the fulcrum. and i quite frankly think that kim jong-un also looks at us in that way. like trump's a different kind of president, and unless he deals detective directly with trump, nothing's going to happen. steve biegun was having difficulty getting any kind of traction. the north koreans wouldn't deal with him or couldn't deal credibly with him because everything has to be solved at the leader level. that's part of the problem here. personal summits are only going to get you so far. what i'm going to be interested to see, two things going forward. one, how do the north koreans react to this? we've seen trump. now we have to wait to see what comes out of the north korean press agency. number two, what is the next step in terms of discussions between the two teams? where, when, and at what level are they actually goin

kim jong un can't move too quickly. if he goes too quickly he's going to lose the support of his hard-liners. it puts them at risk. >> harris: yes, because they off the people they don't agree with. it's the hard-liners i want to ask you about. they want all the sanctions lifted for the closure of north korea's main nuclear complex. we are never going to agree to that. but who is his audience for that kind of a demand? is a people inside his country? can they really think he can do kind of a deal? >> gen. keane: this is a deal he made in the past and it's already been successful. they've offered to take down facilities in the past in exchange for relief on sanctions, and the promise that we can denuclearize our weapons. and then never fill the promise. why wouldn't he plane the same deal? it always works. it always worked. i'm certain the hard-liners around him said, "put it on the table." it seems like president trump really wants the deal. he's got some issues at home. and it blew up in their faces. there will be anot

kim jong-un was 10 years old.very emotional trip as well for kim jong-un even before meeting donald trump for that second time. steve, those involved, they are busy attempting down expectations going into the second summit. yes.en: sarah huckabee sanders, the white house spokesperson, has even said you guys, the media, has set the bar too high -- have set the bar too high on expectations. the goal is complete denuclearization, complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization. it did not even get close to happening in june of last year in singapore. what they want to do, the united states, is put meat on the bones to that declaration, get verification, get inspectors eventually. but that's always been the bugaboo, inspections and verification. well, we are going to have that face-to-face data today, a dinner between donald trump and kim jong-un this evening, followed by that summit. we're hearing -- it has not been confirmed by the white house yet -- we hearing it will be at the ofropole, the grand dame hotels, th

eastern time back home in the states, he was supposed to be having a signing ceremony with kim jong unnorth korean dictator. instead, the new schedule has him having -- and you can see, on the left, the other motorcade that is going to take kim jung un as well. they are both staged out there as if they are ready to go but they appear to both be behind closed doors, still talking at least. so where all this is headed is something we are still trying to get a handle on. as we mentioned a moment ago, back in washington, all eyes were on michael cohen and has explosive day of testimony on capitol hill. the president's former personal attorney went before the house oversight panel on wednesday. cohen was growth for more than six hours, answering questions about his time spent working with president trump. with cohen taking center stage on capitol hill, the focus shifted from hanoi. the president responding on twitter, "michael cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me unfortunately. he had other clients also. he was just as barred by the supreme court were lying and fraud. he did bad

president xi is the biggest offender of kim jong-un. mr.mp needs to listen to his experts inside of the intelligence community inside of the department of defense and others who understand and recognize that kim jong-un is masterful in terms of how he has manipulated donald trump's engagement. >> hearing that the president has been masterfully manipulated while he's on his way to the second part of summit. john brennan, can you stick with us for one more segment? i have more things i want to ask you about. we'll be right back. er, and you're gonna sing. -jamie, this is your house? -i know, it's not much, but it's home. right, kids? -kids? -papa, papa! -[ laughs ] -you didn't tell me your friends were coming. -oh, yeah. -this one is tiny like a child. -yeah, she is. oh, but seriously, it's good to be surrounded by what matters most -- a home and auto bundle from progressive. -oh, sweetie, please, play for us. -oh, no, i couldn't. -please. -okay. [ singing in spanish ] -please. -okay. ahh potluck. these dishes will soon be yours to scrub. and

for him to realize that kim jong un is not on the level. he was a big winner. kim jong un is getting to sit face-to-face with the most powerful person in the world, the president of the united states, and really it's good that the president did not give him anything for the little he was proposing. as you probably know he said he would shut down one of his -- he he would going to, shut that down but what we want is denuclearization. they didn't agree to it in the first meeting, didn't agree to it in the second meeting and as you know they wanted lifting sanctions without the denuclearization. i'm glad the president walk aid way from that diplomacy is important, we always support it. but the prospect for success, god bless you, the prospect for success seemed dim in light of the insincerity of kim jong un. i have been to north korea, pyongyang, beyond the d.m.z., very serious concerns about north korea, always hopeful that diplomacy can take us to a place, ever suspicious on the motivations of the person like kim jong un. earlier, i was last

president xi is the biggest offender of kim jong-un. mr. needs to listen to his experts inside of the intelligence community inside of the department of defense and others who understand and recognize that kim jong-un is masterful how he has manipulated donald trump's engagement. >> hearing that the president has been masterfully manipulated on the -- while he's on his way to the second part of the summit. john brennan, can you stick with us for one more segment? >> sure. >> i have a few more things i want to does you aboask you abo. we'll be right back. ask you abou. we'll be right back. simmered to perfection. with big flavors, not artificial ones. enjoy 100% clean soup today. panera. food as it should be. enjoy 100% clean soup today. the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a few years old or dinosaur old, we want to buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate, answer a few questions, and our techno-wizardry calcula

look kim jong-un -- pardon kim jong-il would have spoken to obamaer bush if he knew that obama or brush were ready to give away the farm, that is what shaping, they are not going to denikde-- denuclearize. kennedy: what are they getting in return? president saying that north korea could become an economic power house, it seems it is impossible for that to happen unless have you some openness in country, have you so start with the labor camps, almost seem like more difficult to make the transition to freedom for people doing forced hard labor for few years of their lives before they before dying miserable deaths. >> you know, i could not careless, china harvest kidneys from political prisoners, but my tv of made in china, possibly by all the no kidneys mcgee, i don't know, all i care about, does the country country have nukes? are they telling us you know, we may use them, we may not, we need winter olympics so we might nuke tokyo, i care about they get rid of the nukes, they are not going to. kennedy: people who understand how north korea really operates, they don't want to be ukraine,

donald trump basically thinks kim jong-un is like him in the sense that kim jong-un will respond to flattery. so there he is, basically, saying all sorts of nice things about this north korea dictator and thinking he's going to change his mind, thinking he's going to relinquish something his country has worked decades to achieve these nuclear weapons which obviously keep the regime in place, keep him on the world stage. and if you're donald trump, you think somehow these love letters that they sent back and forth will change the calculus, but he's learning that's not the case. >> that's the power you've seen from the president several times, not just with the north korean dictator but also with putin himself, the russian president, mohamed saham. he also called it a brutal regime, and i'm wondering why he would take kim jong-un at his word. this is something that republicans will have to address when we speak to them later today. >> it's a slap in the face to an american family who lost their son. that's what it is to the president of the united states. the president said he watched some, as

president trump said kim jong-un would do that. he would dismantle and destroy that complex, but he wanted too much in return. in other words he wanted all the sanctions destroyed. he said that facility, while it was big, wasn't enough. we had to have more than that. mike pompeo added there were other issues like timing, sequencing and what warheads and weapons would be left. so clearly a number of sticking points but interestingly the south koreans are bewilders by this. the strongest statement i've ever seen from the south korean government saying we are perplexed and interestingly president trump did not inform the south koreans either in advance or before his news conference. that would not have gone down well, guys, in seoul. >> we heard it in the news conference as well, the president saying when he gets on the plane he's going to be making a call. bill talking there that they weren't informed as to what went down with kim jong-un early on in the day. so all of this is coming as nbc news has learned that the trump administrat

but kim jong-un said, yes, he does trust him.pite some quick wit, kim jong-un turned to national security adviser john bolton who is known for not being fully in support of this diplomatic approach to denuclearization of north korea. he asked him the same question, saying, do you trust me? john bolton told the north korean later, if trump trusts you, then i do as well. we're also hearing some more details about the compliments that trump offered to kim jong-un during that singapore summit. trump told kim jong-un, listen, i know people that have been raised with wealth, have been raised with power and they've turned out a little bit messed up. but he told kim he did not think he was one of those people, essentially saying he is a powerful and successful leader, a really interesting element there given that kim jong-un is known to have been someone who demanded the killing of his half-brother. north korea is also egregious when it comes to human rights. they have hundreds of thousands of prisoners in labor camps. so it's going to b

he believes, you know, kim jong-un.o find warmth with awe authoritarian dictatorships and believes them when they have records of violating international law and human rights than to believe our own intelligence community. >> senator bob menendez, thank you very much. >> thank you, jim. >>> really important. all right. will he run or is he not going to run? former texas congressman beto o'rourke said he's decided. ou a. this round is on me. hey, can you spot me? come on in! find your place, today, with silver sneakers... included with many medicare plans. call the number on the screen now or visit getsilversneakers.com (burke) at fso we know how ton almost evercover almost anything. even rooftop parking. strange forces at work? only if you're referring to gravity-and we covered it. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ >>> former texas congressman says he and his wife have made a decision about his political future. one source tells us

he was calling kim jong-un little rocket man. kim jong-un was calling trump a dotard. here they are, these two leaders flattering each other with love letters back and forth, and they hope it will be the foundation of a real relationship that bears fruit. >> one of the things nick is writing about is the idea of a nobel peace prize hanging in front of both the leaders. you write in your opinion it's unlikely either one of them will ever see this. >> i think it's delusional for either president trump or kim jong-un to look in the mirror and see a nobel peace prize winner. but i think each of them seems to have this on his mind. president trump bragged about having been nominated for the nobel peace prize by the japanese prime minister. and then it became a little awkward when it leaked that prime minister abe, in fact, made that nomination only at the request of the white house. meanwhile in north korea, there's been a certain amount of discussion and press about the nobel peace prize going to kim jong-un. i think a reflection of what happened in 1973 when henry kissing

this for kim jong-un is a major moment. he doesn't leave his country, nobody from his country has had a chance to have a face-to-face with the american trump. it will be interesting to see whether president trump confronts the issue of human rights at all. kim jong-un has a long-demonstrated record of brutality in his country, of starving his citizens, of killing and assassinating his political enemies. and president trump has said really nothing about the human rights record these last several months in public. the question is whether he'll confront kim jong-un in private or will he brush that issue under the rug as we expect he may. >> that's an issue, tom donlon, that has been really brushed under the regular by the secretary of state and top leaders as they travel around the world, the embrace of erdogan, the embrace of leaders in china, except for trade issues. they have not been raising human rights issues. and again, we expect it will not be raised here. i'm also curious because of your long experience with china, yo

it puts kim jong-un in the driver's seat here. if you look at the coverage leading up to today, the president's aides are nervous that the president will act too quickly. he will get into the room and give all kinds of concessions to come out with some symbolic win. what's the point? the point is to give donald trump another press opportunity to try to salvage a foreign policy win here, when really all he got out of the first one was something he attempted to manipulate and spin into an important international event, when it really wasn't. it was almost embarrassing to the united states. >> every time donald trump meets with a dictator, speaks with a dictator, he agrees with him. think of the helsinki summit. think of how he decided to withdraw u.s. troops from syria, following a phone call with the turkish strongman erdogan. i think trump is going to ignore the advice of his advisers, secretary of state and national security adviser, who are long-time hawks when it comes to north korea and the dangers of quotie negotiating with h

that was really the first time we had heard genuinely kim jong-un's voice. now, a year later, we have a second summit between the president of the united states and kim jong-un. we made a lot of progress. >> there was a question that was shouted to kim jong-un by a u.s. reporter asking how confident he was in these talks. one response was, he's not pessimistic. the fact that the president is saying he is in no rush, does he come out as a winner? >> winners and losers, there's always a winner and a loser. it depends on who's protective you are asking. again, they are talking. that's a good thing. they are at least cordial. there was some ill blood in the beginning part of this whole process. when the north koreans and the south koreans met before that historic handshake. when the south koreans almost immediately brought up the issues of human rights. the issues of human rights in the north are extremely important. that set the thing off on the wrong foot. the north koreans bristled and returned to their side of the border and said, we are not going to have ta

bill clinton tried to bribe kim jong un's father, kim jong-il. for the american people, never seen nukes etc. it didn't happen. very similar to barack obama dropping $150 billion in cash and other currency on the tarmac for the mullahs of iran. when you look at reagan i see a lot of similarities, reagan walking away from ricky vick and the media's reaction in the liberal reaction to reagan which was similar but trump has it worse. this is a disaster, think of the similarities, evil empire. mister gorbachev, tear down this wall, reagan's only advisors pulled it out of the speech ten times. at the end of the day, walked away from ricky vick because of strategic defense and we got what we wanted and one regime that collapsed. jedediah: do you think that will happen here? >> great question and if i had to predict, the pressure on kim jong un economically, he needs those sanctions lifted, the president knows that and understand that. my guess is he was testing the president and his resolve and the president showed the strength that i think americans w

get—together between president trump and kimjong—un get—together between president trump and kim jong—undent trump and kimjong—un before a dinner will emphasise the couple relationship between them. that will be important in setting the tone. we don't expect any substance to be discussed this evening. that will all be in the summit meetings tomorrow. use a substance and that is the key word with appearing. last year's singapore summit produced little of substance. what are we likely to hear tomorrow when the two get—together and properly negotiate towards denuclearisation? we don't know what the actual results will be but we know what the americans are looking. they definitely want a significant step from the north korean side and that could be the shutting down of a nuclear facility, there might be talks of opening liaison officers. there may be a formal declaration but it is something on the nuclear programme which is the important for the americans or the remember, president trump's side has been stashing —— stressing they do expect this process to move slowly. jonathan head, in front

the bars so knows where that kim jong-un will end up in hanoi. spec this is the split screen of the president trump arrival on air force one, the most spectacular piece of machinery in the world. it is kim jong-un almost unable to fly to hanoi says they don't have their own fleet of planes. he took the chinese airplane last year and a 60+ hour train ride on the green train this year. i know you have traveled to north korea many times but describe the details of him bringing his own utensils, plates and forks and explain how worried they are about security. spec we were told by the bellman at the hotel that they have brought all the food, forks, knives and all the cooking supplies, and they want to control everything. part of taking the train ride is to control the journey, and part of this is the symbolism and you mentioned where he showed up in singapore and they had to borrow a plane from china, not something that north korea wants to continue to broadcast to the world that they rely on their main friend, which is trying to find this. certainly

something kim jong-un announced in his new year's address. he said, we don't have to do it anymore because we have completed our nuclear force. whether you believe that to be true, that's his position. >> we heard the president announce the suspension of military activities in the last press conference following singapore, which as you know was a huge surprise to everyone, including the president's own people. >> yes. >> did we hear any of those surprises? >> he didn't answer the question ze idexerciseon hold?tinu thi fe he didn't directly answer the question. so it is possible he has agreed to that. it is possible he may decide to turn those back on. the idea is we want to be able to fight tonight, that's why they like that readiness capability. but the president went on, as he so often does, to talk about his annoyance at the large cost associated with the alliance that we have. this is something that really troubles our allies in south korea and japan. that the president's language is so focused simply on the u.s. mainland and not on helpi

he called kim jong-un his friend tonight. andrea, just that will put cold-water in the veins of all the foreign policy professionals that you know in this city. >> and just think of the one issue that's never discussed in the trump administration, which is human rights. human rights, the gulogs, the prisonners. we're no longer hearing about otto warmbier and the millions who have been slaughtered. and he's accepting the status quo of a nuclear powered state, we've not seen an inventory or even a definition of denuclearization. which going in the argument there was not going to be a phased out ordinary arm negotiation, you do this and you dee this and eventually we get here with inspections and verification. but initially is we're getting everything up front, which they claimed to get to the shock of then defense chief mattis, he even then eagrees or suggests to give up the joint military exercises which are critical and still have not taken place in singapore. >> and jeremy, what part of north korea do you think is going to a

kim jong un. and no third meeting is set even though we do anticipate talks between the two nations will continue. it is just a question of where do they go from here. >> dana: because at least everybody knows who to call. at least we have a relationship in some way. thank you very much from the white house. president trump also saying that he did not believe kim jong un knew about the tragic case of otto warmbier, the american student who died shortly after being released from a jail in north korea. >> in those prisons and camps, you have a lot of people and some really bad things happen to auto. to some really bad things. he tells me that he did not know about it. and i will take him at his word. >> dana: bringing in colorado senator, a governor of the foreign administration committee. maybe your thoughts about the meaning ending in the way that it did. >> i think that you have a president who is trying to move beyond press release diplomacy and try and have a conversation with north korea. you

she isot sure kim jong-un is serious about economic reform. b.: these hanoi schoolchildren are singing about the hopes for the summit. they come from a country which has made peace with the u.s. and gained prosperity. could north korea's next generation learn a similar lesson? laura bicker, bbc news, hanoi. laura: for the latest we can cross live to noorh american edon sopel, who is in hanoi. big day for esident trump and kim jong-un. talk us through it. jon: it is 5:30 in the morning here in hanoi. donaldt 12 hours time, trump and kim jong-un are going to meet each other and initially have a tete-a-tete, just the two of them, and with their closest advisers, mike pompeo on the u.s. side and a couplehers , they will sit down for dinner. e doublee start of the summit process command and the heavy lifting starts the following day -- that will be the start of the summit process, d then the heavy lifting starts the following day. i was on a call on a briefing for white house officials last week and they couldn't even define whadenuclearization ans

something that kim jong-un would like.hose two things. the status quo that the president inherited as it relates to north korea was untenable. you can't have two nuclear powers threatening each other the way we did in 2017. so this is the art of diplomacy. takes time. steve: no kidding. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thanks. steve: well the president is still there. will leave in the next four minutes? stay tuned. we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. with pronamel repair, more minerals are able to enter deep into the enamel surface. the fact that you have an opportunity to repair what's already been damaged, it's amazing. i think my go-to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. . . . ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> in the after the show, show, you'll see more of the panel and the president has left the building. >> he's heading for the hotel. >> we start at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. see you then. >> bill: great show, guys. good morning everybody. fox news alert t

i felt that he may have lost the will -- kim jong-un lost the will to negotiate. >> right.y're playing to trump's investment in this process. for president trump there's a political benefit to this. he wants to run on being a peacemaker. he's invested in this. he's in a love affair with kim jong-un and what they're doing is they're threatening to walk away because that's good leverage, right, and what's president trump's doing, he's not threatening to walk away. he's promising to stay at the table. it's just another example of the north koreans playing us for fools, okay, and us just going along with it and, you know, that's smart of them but bad for us and our security for us and the region. >> josh rogan, you were excellent on this. good to have you on. >>> coming up next, an apology for virginia's governor's office but this time it's from the first lady for handing out cotton to at least one african-american child on a tour of a slave cottage. what was going on there? r in yo, coke, dr pepper and pepsi hear you. we're working together to do just that. bringing you more g

he told him that he thinks kim jong-un is sneaky, but not too sneaky.n kim jong-un followed up and said the underlying question, but do you trust me? trump said that he did trust him. kim jong-un displaying quick grit turned to national security adviser known for being skeptical. he asked bolten does he trust him. he then replied that if trump does then he does. we are also learning more details between the two leaders as those conversations unfolded, some kind of peculiar compliments that trump offered to kim jong-un. he said that trump knows people who come from power and from money. sometimes they turn up a little bit messed up. they aren't very successful in their lives. he described kim jong-un to not be one of those folks, clearly offering more praise on the leader at a moment when he could have questioned his integrity or his commitment to de-nuclearization. he is not doing that. he has used that last summit to sure up praise and the relationship between the two leaders. we expect that he will be much of the same here in hanoi. >> saying he didn'

. >>> president trump and kim jong-un coming face-to-face during their high stakes summit in vietnam today. >> hopefully it will be successful. >> what the president says will happen if north korea gets rid of its nuclear weapons. >>> the senators drill drug company executives with the cost of pills sky rocketing. >>> new details about the rhino attack at the zoo. the second in florida in just two months. >>> and meet the 13-year-old who just signed a professional contract. >>> from abc news in new york, this is america this morning. >> good wednesday morning. we begin with breaking news. president trump's former lawyer michael cohen is testifying on capitol hill this morning skpmpt we now know what he is expected to say. >> cohen will call president trump a con man and a cheat. cohen is expected to reveal new details about wiki leaks and the hacked e-mails from the hillary clinton campaign. >> good morning. >> good morning. michael cohen went from saying he would take a bullet for the president to placing trump in serious legal jeopardy. a reserved michael cohen. >> you lied before,

don't know if this is the kim jong-un motorcade. but they've been closing streeid very r around this area. this is a city that -- okay. let's go to bill neely on the t ground outsi hotel. bill? >> yeah. so there's a motorcade arriving ju behind me now. as you can see, just great citement from the vietnamese people. as you said the security here is very, very tightde . there are snipers on rooftops around here to provide security for both leaders. lester, what's interesting is not just what will happen in the next two hours. theyre due to have that historic handshake in about ten nutes time, but what happened just before because as president trump wasng getti ready for this handshake he was tweeting he said kim and i will try very hard to work something out on denuclearization and also talked about having the coopetion of china, russia, japan s andth korea. kim nk we just seen jong-un's motorcade go past. i couldn't see. normally there are 12 body guards running alongside that black mercedes-benz limousine, ways running, never smilin

kim jong un's response was equally belligerent. you would get a quote america will never be able to start a war against us today our nuclear weapons can reach any part of the united states the button is right there on my desk this is not blackmail but reality and america should know that. most go military attack us north korea has the possibility of escalating into a nuclear option that's the difference between today and ninety ninety four we were prepared to take more drastic actions in ninety four though we are prepared today and short nuclear weapons to do work as a deterrent they were for the united states is a deterrent they also work for north korea that in turn and that's exactly what the north korean leadership knows that's exactly why they built their nuclear arsenal to deter the united states from taking military action against there is in my judgment no military option against north korea today. despite his rhetoric president trump seemed to realize that a nuclear conflict with north korea was not an option. so he tried

"trump, moon, and the whole world is being deceived by kim jong-un," he says.south korean government must knowhat kim is not going to give up nuclear weapons, but it went to the united states and said kim is ready to give up nuclear weapons. president trump accepted that and believed it until today." sathey may not b that the latest trump-kim summit has come to nothing, but many others feel massively disappointed. kothis is the road to norta and to industrial zone that used to employ tens of thousands of north korean workers. three years ago in he face of no korean missile tests, it was completely shut down. hopes were high that the hanoi summit could lead to it reopening. now those hopes have been dashed . a factory outside seoul, he is explaining hothese machines make terminals that go inside mobile phones. until three years agoe, also-ran- another also ran another, much bigger factor across the border in kaeson. "we are devastated," he tells me. "we thought it was going to work out. 'i don't know what i'supposed to do now. i don't know how much we have lost,

maria: what do i want to see out of kim jong-un? you just heard they have a relationship but when it comes down to it we haven't seen demake sure toingization, that is what we need to see denuclearization do you think we will get a list of nuclear sites in north korea or something that gives the president, some feeling that maybe he did move the ball in this meeting? >> absolutely, i think we will get concrete progress out of this summit, i am proud of the president acting like a statesman even this morning you see him comments this morning you just played, he is acting more of a statesman than i think that is what we need in this conversation i was just over there last year i think that we need to see a timetable though with quantitative measurable results i think we will get some coming out of this summit remember where we were a couple years ago fact i have nuclear threat from north korea now doing it diplomatically i give president a lot of credit initiating this driving us forward with chairman kim. >> you make a good point whe

up to his meeting with kim jong-un.lans are. he arrived yesterday on that epic train journey, eventually arriving by motorcade here. one of the things that the us side out there wants the north koreans to see is how well be at arm has done while remaining under the control of the communist party. —— vietnam. its economic growth is one of the fastest in the region. it is possible they may be some of that included in the north korean leader's programme, while some of his officials are looking at businesses that have done very well here. don't dismiss this bilateral relationship between the us and vietnam, it is very important, a key strategic partner, a very close relationship which many people would think is remarkable when you consider how bitter their history has been, which is another lesson the americans are hoping the north korean state weight. i have no doubt that in president trump's conversations with his the enemy ‘s counterparts, he will be hoping they pass on in their own meetings with the north korean leader

president donald trump cunt short his summit in vietnam with north korean leader kim jong un today he says kim wanted all sanctions lifted kim's people say they only wanted partial relief on trump is headed back to the u.s. capitol where a political firestorm rages his former attorney has accused him of crimes committed before and after truong became u.s. president tonight from hawaii to washington the question following the president who's telling the truth i'm brink off in berlin this is the day. basically to be one of the sanctions lifted. in there today and i couldn't do that i don't think donald trump president trump could afford to do up close unquote bad deal internationally if they were willing to do the english portion of the areas that we want to build if you're just going to and i'm not. here think. that would be the best as we couldn't get with the same issues for that so we continue to work and you see that we had to. walk away from that particular situation i wonder whether you would ever reach three with the u.s. to do before. it was a very to do that probably it is ver

brexit, kim jong-un, and u.s.h china, the three p's of politics, take it away on the green. nejra: headlines coming fast this morning. joining us now is miles bradshaw, head of global aggregate fixed income. thanks for joining us here. just to look at geopolitical risk, you have heard the latest on the trump-kim summit. in the background, we have still got trump -- u.s.-china trade talks. we have heard from jerome powell again yesterday. just to talk about the does thisal risk, escalation in risk have any implications for your portfolio construction? separateimportant to things going on. the talks in vietnam today are not a big deal for financial markets. we are very far away from where we were in the last summit where there was a lot of hostile words being traded. in terms of china trade tensions, markets expect some sort of progress. some deal. be someexpect there to deal, so it is still about the rates of progress. it is the same in regards to things like brexit. things are moving in the right direction. what i
