jae—in and president give wholly my credit to president moonjae—in and president trump, as well as kim jong—untical leaders like mr trump as well as mr kim. so trump has a very high level of negotiation skills, which is good to get kim jong—un to the table. at the same time, kim jong—un has some sort of pragmatism, that unlike his father and grandfather, is very conducive to this kind of summit. so we are now seeing conducive to this kind of summit. so we are now seeing the live footage of president moon going back into the car and leaving with his delegates. we will probably see him crossing that reg shortly. but it is all good and well that these two leaders are meeting, but there are a lot of unsold issues, most notably human rights issues, that some critics want president moon to raise during this summit. do you expect him to bring it up? possibly, possibly. but that's not the main focus of this summit. the main focus of this summit has to involve the denuclearisation issue. and i think this is a very limited timeframe, offer a one—day summit. so it is better for offer a one—day summit. so

you have met directly with kim jong-un. do you still think that the people there in north korea would like to see him go? >> jonathan, what i said that evening, i still believe. the people of north korea live in very difficult conditions. believe that one of the reasons that kim jong-un is engaged in this conversation is that the pressure campaign that's been applied by president trump and by the world has put them in more tenuous, more difficult position. so i'm optimistic. we'll work hard to see if we can't find a solution so that the north korean people can in fact live a better life.

on very shortly. —— kim jong—un.als, working tirelessly, of course, to make this summit happen. this all changed, this all happened very, very quickly. 0nly 4—6 months ago the countries, north korea and its tensions with the rest of the world were very, very high. we had kim jong—un calling president trump a. hard, president trump calling him little rocket man because of all the missile test that they have conducted. and here we are, after the new year's day speech of tim jong on that he might send a north korean delegation, it happened rather quickly, to the winter 0lympics rather quickly, to the winter olympics in march. we saw the two korea's competing under one flag and since then we have had some major meetings between kim jong—un, since then we have had some major meetings between kimjong—un, he met with chinese president xi jinping, that was the first meeting that he had with the head of the foreign state as the leader and of course he will shortly be meeting with the south korean president moonjae—in, whose f

it's one thing to stop the tests and one things the kim jong—un to give up one things the kim jong—unthought we were on the brink of a war. and suddenly we heard from kim jong—un saying that he was possibly sending north korean delegations and then we have seen some rapid progress of diplomacy. what in your view changed mr kim's mind? it was a combination of factors. we saw late last year, kim jong—un demonstrated an of factors. we saw late last year, kimjong—un demonstrated an h—bomb and icbm capabilities. so as far as the policy goes, the nucleoside of this. they were reiterated for the speech. we have completed this part. this does allow them to have broader negotiating flexibility. there is a lot more that he can give up to give up lot more that he can give up to give up some of the political will in relations that have soured. he no longer has to demonstrate these capabilities. things like putting a freeze on testing. even now, he is willing to shut down fissile material production. he can give these up very easily without getting to the bulk of the programme and saving that for

>> yes, and at the same time the wife of chairman kim jong-un and chairman kim jong-un's sister kim il jong with at the head table. it made the atmosphere much more amicable and lively. >> it was really as relaxed as it looked? >> it was extremely relaxed. people were moving around different tables, proposing a toast and congratulating the success of the summit. >> and did you expect it to be like that? >> no, i didn't expect it, i thought there must be some kind of tension, some kind of difficulty in arriving at that kind of declaration but i didn't see the kinds of difficulties. >> how did kim come across? what was his persona like? his body language? did you shake his hand? did he look you in the eye? >> oh, yes. he's just ordinary and normal. but he has charisma, but he's extremely friendly, willing to accommodate any person's approach. of course the setting was somewhat different, last night's banquet. but however he was very, very -- he showed very ordinary and amicable behavior towards the other members from south korea. >> what was the most important thing for you given how lon

kim jong-un sent his sister there, very positive, at least rhetoric emerged from that, that kim jong-un took the train ride from pyongyang to beijing and met with the chinese leadership as you correct lip point out. then mike pompeo heads to pyongyang for secret talks that took place. he's only the second american to meet with kim jong-un. dennis rodman the first several years ago. and now this sets the stage for the summit with the south korean president, president moon next week followed by a summit with president trump. these are all pretty significant developments, congressman. >> no doubt about it. and your rendition of the various activities that have taken place, keep in mind the election of a new president in south korea who parted from more than 60 years of what was the montra of south korea, we're going to reunify. president moon said something quite different. he said that the reality is there are two nations here. some day, some day off in the future, perhaps there will be reunification, but not now. that's a very, very important part of this whole equation as it's being pla

president moonjae—in and kim jong-un in panmunjom.ecause essentially, apart from some statements, kim jong—un and has really given up nothing in order to get to the summit. well, i believe still the announcement made by pyongyang on the 20th of april, which includes the suspension of the nuclear testing and missile launchers, as well as the shutdown of the nuclear testing site in the northern part of north korea speaks volumes about the direction in which the north koreans will go in terms of denuclearisation and when they come to talks with us and the americans. are of course we will not come to any conclusions regarding the denuclearisation. we will be serious, we will be very stubborn and talking with the north koreans of the importance of the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. president trump will follow friday's summit with a summit of his own. a lot of people are very surprised that he agreed to this. how surprised was your government? well personally, i was not surprised. because in a sense, president trump has been very

he's also touting mike pompeo's secret meeting with kim jong-un. the white house released these photos of that meeting to pave the way for the upcoming summit between kim and president trump. there are a lot of questions about that meeting. the biggest? will it lead to the kind of break through that has eluded president trump's predecessors? late yesterday, we talked to mike pompeo in his first interview as secretary of state. he had just arrived in saudi arabia. secretary pompeo. thank you for joining us on your very first trip as secretary of state. >> thank you, jonathan. great to be with you. >> i want to start with the images of kim jong-un stepping into south korea. the first time we have ever seen a north korean leader do that. how big was that moment? >> yeah, jonathan, i think it's a big deal. it's important. every step along the way matters. the objective remains the same. complete. comple complete, vary fiable, irreversible denuclearization. that's been the goal. president trump put economic pressure on the north koreans. and it appears t

kim jong un speaking of peace and prosperity. let's listen once again. [ applause ] >> the korean war. no peace treaty was signed in 1953. for 65 years it has been tension and technically war between these two neighbors. you heard a goal of complete denuclearization. they will hold reunion of divided families later this year. president moon will visit pyongyang later this year. the two koreas seek a peace regime. paula hancocks. remarkable. you heard the north korean leader talk about one people and one blood and one korea and one country. what did you make of that? >> reporter: that's right. it is true. this is one people. one country that has been divided by others. suddenly the fact the north korean leader has pointed that out is symbolic and significant. both of these leaders were stand in the press conference saying the other deserved praise and applause for being bold. you heard president moon saying kim jong un had been bold and agreeing to what they agreed to today. to sum up what they agreed to, a declaration of the end

it is a historic day as north korea's leader meet on the top levels, kim jong-un the first to cross theteps into south korean territory, and he writes in the guestbook, a new history begins now. could this pave the way for a more historic summit between donald j. trump and kim jong-un? we will explore that. this is "bloomberg markets: asia

what does kim jong-un want? your president has said that he has put down no preconditions, not even the demand that they always make which is the removal of u.s. forces and ironclad security guarantees. i mean, really, there are no preconditions? you don't expect them to ask for anything? >> he did say -- what he did say was, if the threat of -- the military threat is removed, if it is guaranteed security, then there's no reason for him to have nuclear weapons. so those are two big items that he's put on the table. we will know better with greater clarity at the table. so, you know, the details of the denuclearization commitment is really to be elaborated and explored at the summit table. >> denuclearization may mean different things to different people. as you heard president trump even just in the last couple of days say, what does it mean to him? it means dismantling and getting rid of the north korea's nuclear weapons program. just getting rid of it, ending it. and you, i believe, feel the same way. >> yes,

kim jong un i kim jong kim jong un invited president moon to north korea. they are talking about future summits. this is not just about today. we are looking forward to seeing what kind of communication and what kind of draft agreement will come up at the end of today. how much can they decide in one day? the blue house consistently said today is about how willing is north korea to new guindenuclea. >> we heard they had stand-ins to rehearse and this seems very relax relaxed. we don't know what they are saying. they seem at ease. >> reporter: they do. you know, christine, this is probably one of the first times we are seeing kim jong un like this. even when he went to china to meet with xi jinping. that was choreographed. this is heavily choreographed. we are seeing him in a more natural state. he is outside of his natural habitat outside of north korea where anytime we see him on state run immediamedia, we knows heavily edited and checked. he knows what is going out to the world and to his people. the two leaders appear to be getting on. >> completely cont

i think kim jong-un should be told we'd like to honor your grandfather kim il-sung. he wanted to implement this north-south agreement and agreed to sign it. of course, he died in 1994. it was never implemented and probably never implemented because, you know, the north is following its normal method of obligation, not implementing agreements, and be that as it may we want to say we support kim il-sung's vision and give kim jong-un an opportunity to implement already agreed upon document. and, of course, what we fear, of course, is -- is president trump being put into -- put into, you know, a box and having to agrey to something that we don't want to agree to when i think that if we do this, if we approach it using the north-south agreement as a framework we're making an offer to kim jong-un that he can't refuse. if he refuses it, we're in the position where we can say that he is not honoring the legacy of his grandfather, and that will then inoculate us from whatever happens in the talks because we will have offered to start from an already agreed upon framework. if
