. >> kim yong chol will be handing a letter to the president from kim jong-un. you're looking at live pictures come in from the west wing of the white house. kim yong chol is the first one leaving his hotel early this morning. he's been meeting with mike pompeo. all of this comes just 11 days before an expected possible summit between the president of the u.s. and president of north korea, kim jong-un. first of all, what do we know about the letter that is being delivered and what do you know about the planned summit. >> well, wolf, let me walk you tlul the mysterious. kim yong chol is expected to arrive at my, so we'll see if that will include john bolton, chief of staff, and they will head over to the oval office where kim yong chol will meet with president trump and then hand-deliver a letter from kim jong-un. that letter, obviously, is very critical right now. talking to sources this morning, wolf, they're still not entirely clear what's in that letter. they're familiar with the contents at this point, according to our sources, and they continue to give opti

this is footage we saw moments ago as john kelly escorted kim yong chol into the oval office there. ey have been in there for just about half an hour right now his mission was to deliver a letter directly to the president from kim jong-un we are still waiting for them both to emerge out of the white house. as soon as we have that, we will go back to that. >> may unemployment rate falling to historic laws coming in better than expected president trump highlighting some of the key numbers this morning. >> we have reached yet one more historic milestone with 3.8% unemployment just announced. and another all time record low african-american unemployment, hispanic unemployment. at an all-time low in history. we are very honored by that. and by the way, for the women out there, the lowest unemployment in 19 years >> major milestones there. joining us, marc morial, president and ceo of the national urban league and the former mayor of new orleans. nice to see you, mark. >> good to be with you >> so, mayor, you watched the black unemployment rate. we often talk about it on this program. not

that's what kim yong chol built. so for people who follow this stuff closely, particularly national security and in foreign policy who have watched north korea not just for its nuclear program but have watched north korea in this very short period of time turn into this global cyberwar, cyberespionage powerhouse it was a remarkable and very specific thing when it was announced that north korea would be sending somebody to the u.s. to talk to the trump administration. they'd be sending a high-ranking official to new york city to have dinner with mike pompeo. and it was announced the guy they would be sending is kim yong chol. the guy you see on the right side of your screen there. this was the headline of foreignpolicy.com. "north korean-facing mike pompeo is master spy." "the north korean official meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo to salvage nuclear talks is a former spy chief linked to some of his country's highest-profile military operations in recent years including a 2014 cyberattack on sony pictures th

called north korea's tremendous anger and open hostility but the last two days of talks between kim yong-chol the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo seemed to have improved re ntions but it's clear whether they've agreed on what denuclearization means. >> do you think kim is dedicated to denuclearization? president trump:es, i think he wants to see it happen. he wants to be t careful. d him, to be honest, we have sank -- sanctions on, very powerful sanctions. we would not take sanctions off unless they did that. reporter: president trump hadn't taken the letr out of the envelope by the time he waved goodbye to the north korean's right-hand man. the comings andy goings of plomesi can be difficult to follow at this white house. >> later we'll be talking to dr. jonathan park from the kennedy school. the united states has rejected any intediscrimi force of srael. though it didn't name hamas. visa says its car payment mervice is returning to normal following a syste failure which left many customers across europe unable to pay for some of their purchase. the company has apologized for the hardwar

there's a lot to break down there from the president stopping to talk to the press after he met with kim yongrth korean official. there are hints from the president the letter from kim jong un, the headline, the first sentence, he said, we will be meeting on june 12th in singapore. a couple other quotes from the president, "should be an incredible success but we'll see what happens." he characterized the first meeting as a getting-to-know-you motor vehic getting-to-know-you-meeting plus. he said it was a nice letter and then five minutes later he said he didn't open the letter. jeff zeleny, just looking at that lingering good-bye and aware of all the cameras on him and watching history unfold, and it sounds like the show will go on. >> brooke, that is exactly what it sounds like. the show certainly is what was on the president's mind today when he had this long good-bye and the handshake, as you said. just to the substantial of the meeting, he said the june 12th meeting is back and and it's going to be, as he said, the start of a relationship. certainly ratcheting down any expectation that so

it would stand to reason his meeting with kim yong-chol. we are expecting he will be delivering a letter from kim jong-un. what will be in that letter? that's the big question mark. the issue continues to be denuclearization with the white house wanting north korea ready to come to the table if there's the june 12th summit. ready to discuss and commit to denuclearization. russian foreign minister met with kim jong-un yesterday. muddying the water suggesting that sanctions should be lifted in exchange for denuclearization. the white house sees that issue very differently. muddying the waters a bit there but the stakes could not be higher. president trump departs for camp david at 3:00. the meeting will undoubtedly take place before then and hopely we'll be able to ask him questions about all of this and determine if the summit will take place. >> let's talk about other news. a terrific jobs report. it was 3.8%. it's the lowest unemployment rate since 2000. way better than anyone expected. the president tweeting this was coming. that is unprec

kim yong-chol arrived shortly after 1:00 p.m. h him a personal letter from kim jong-un to president trump. cameras caught john kelly escorting the former spy turned diplomat to the oval office. as far as we can tell, they are still inside. for the latest let's get to kelly o'donnell at the white house. and jeffrey lewis is the director of the east asia nonproliferation program at the institute of international studies at monterey. he's also the author of the 2020 commission report on the north korean nuclear attacks against the united states which is out later this summer. kelly, was this meeting supposed to last as long as it has. >> reporter: they had not given us an idea of the expectations. i checked in with senior white house officials. they say with the president, only mike pompeo and his chief of staff john kelly. you might see a scenario where there would be an important meeting where other members of the administration, especially from the national security counsel or the national security adviser would be in such a meeti

secretary of state mike pompeo confirming the top north korean official he met kim yong chol will handetter from kim jong-un. we have nic robertson live with the latest from seoul. good morning, nic. >> reporter: good morning, dave. north korea's former spy chief, a man under sanctions, given dispensation to travel to the new york area and has now a waiver to go to d.c. and hand the letter to president trump. what is inside it? we don't know. president trump listened to what mike pompeo told him about the talks. pompeo and chol made clear that pompeo believes progress has been made in the past 72 hours. he also made it very clear the moment they don't seem to have anything completely concrete and that the north koreans are ready to get to the summit in singapore. he still is not sure if it will go on. it is a historic moment and pivotal moment. it depends on the analysis he has and president trump seems to have that the north korean leadership is contemplating, these are his words, contemplating a change of path. a strategic shift away from the way they acted before. when the letter is

called north korea's "tremendous anger and open hostility. " but the last two days of talks between kim yong—cholpompeo seems to have improved relations. but it's not clear whether they have agreed on an aim or even what denuclearisation means. do you think kim is committed to doing denuclearisation? i do think so, he would like to see it happen, he wants to be careful, he is not going to run and do things, but i told him to be honest with you, look, we have sanctions on, very powerful sanctions, we would not take sanctions off unless they did that. if kim jong—un‘s letter did make a difference, it was the gesture, not its contents. president trump hadn't taken it out of the envelope by the time he waved goodbye to the north korean leader's right—hand man. the comings and goings of diplomacy can be difficult to follow at this white house. later in the programme we'll be talking to drjohn park from the harvard kennedy school. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the united states has vetoed a un security council resolution calling for measures to protect palestinians. th

>> you know, i think the size of the letter that kim yong chol gave to president trump is a good signifier of how kim jong-un and the regime knows how to play the game. you can't mistake the letter. it's not a regular-size letter, but it's done for theatrics. the fact that the size of the letter, the size of the explosion at the nuclear test si site, the bluster from north korea, all of that is done for show and for theater. i think kim jong-un so far has shown a great deal of aptitude for engaging indent mays. he's -- in diplomacy. he's saying the right things in terms of economic reform, saying the things about peace and brotherhood and ending the korean war. with president trump he's using flattery and other things to make sure that he gets this summit. he's also not giving away the store. >> japan's defense minister says that north korea shouldn't be rewarded for agreeing to talks, he said, in fact, in light of how north korea has behaved in the past, i believe it's important not to reward north korea solely for agreeing to have a dialogue. what reward do you think japan might be conce

thejust saw pictures of vice chairman of the central committee of north korea kim yong chol arriving the white house to meet with president trump. he is expected to deliver a letter written by kim jong-un with no significant concessions or threats. they met withknow secretary of state mike pompeo in new york. breaking news on north korea. we will get you those latest development as we get them. for now, back to real yield. the centralr not bank can or will support a particular market. the difference between fair value within intervention and without intervention is a really big number. inathan: getting involved the price action on tuesday were resolve the market gap the two groovy lower in italy? >> definitely opportunities. unstable as the situation in italy has been, europe is very strong wooden. to 2012, 2013, 2011, they have taken on the steps to strengthen their system. a lot of those countries are reaping the benefits. growth is strong, the ecb is in a good place if they needed to support them. but the italians have to be in line, stay with the program. that was definitely in d

kim yong chol has seen three leaders.h sides here. >> do you think the president is listening to the advise he received from mitch mcconnell. >> he hasn't in the past, and i don't think he would in this case. the president fancies himself a capable negotiator and probably much more than he thinks mitch mcconnell is a good, capable negotiator. because the president would look at his business record and say i've made millions of dollars and mitch mcconnell is just the leader of the senate. so that comparison, i think, would give the president a little bit of pause when he's listening to mitch mcconnell's advice. however, i think to sam's comment that the president is thirsty, he is thirsty because it's essential that he reach a deal that there not be nuclear capabilities on the korean peninsula. and he has a political imperative to bring home a win heading into 2020. >> with the summit in singapore, and the president lowering expectations, but they exemerge and say we're going to establish diplomatic relations. the north ko

remember what is why kim yong-chol, former top spy in north korea, you said, kim jong-un's right-hand man, it's a personal letter from kim jong-un to president trump. he didn't come all the way here to send a letter, go pound sand. it's probably a sign kim jong-un is trying to make the singapore summit happen june 12th. we know overnight according to north korean media committed to the restoration of the peninsula. a story we've heard before. we'll see if the u.s. takes it serious enough to take donald trump overseas.

kim yong chol, a close aide to kim jong-un, was in washington to hand deliver a letter to mr. trump. chris buckler reports. chris: the white house made a point of doing everything but rolling out the red carpet to welcome a former north korean intelligence chief. in the past, the united states has accused kim yong chol of crimes and an attack that killed dozens of south korean seamen. but today he was whisked through security to meet the president inside the oval office. and there, behind closed doors, he was handed the much talked about letter from kim jong-un. they emerged side-by-side after more than an hour of discussions. a remarkable sight given that last year the two countries appeared close to conflict. but after all that talk of war, there were brief smiles. it seems they are prepared to discuss peace after all. the summit is back on. pres. trump: we will be meeting on june 12 in singapore. it went very well. it was really a getting to know you kind of situation. i think it will be a process. and i never said it goes in one meeting. i think it is going to be a process

the secretary of state telling kim yong chol yesterday that north korea has a lot to gain if it makes a deem with the president tweeting potus has made it clear if kim jong-un denuclearizes there is a clear path. the president is under no illusions that the thing could fall apart. the last time a high ranking north korean official was at the white house was 2,000. vice marshall to kim jong il back in those days. that precipitated a trip by madeleine albright, the secretary of state to pyongyang, which yielded absolutely nothing. so there is a very real chance that could happen again today. but the president holding out hope that at least it will lead to a sit-down between him and kim jong-un. >> 18 years. rare times and fascinating insight. thanks very much. >> julie: fox news alert. a new report raising questions whether former deputy f.b.i. director andrew mccabe could face criminal charges. the "washington post" reporting federal investigators recently interviewed former f.b.i. director james comey as part of a probe into whether mccabe lied to investigators reviewing the f.b.i.'s

i think my assessment was that kim yong-chol was going to come to the u.s.e that the summit was going to be on track for june 12th or soon thereafter. and that all the bad feelings or the ruffled feathers were assuaged by the time he left. arthel: you just heard president trump saying that north korea won't immediately give up their nukes. so is it still a good move to proceed with the summit? >> i think that it's good that the president is taming expectations about this and reiterating that this is the beginning of a process. arthel: uh-huh. >> but i think it is important to remember that kim jong-un has yet to make any irreversible concessions on his nuclear weapons program. in fact, the north koreans have been pretty consistent that they are not going to give up their nuclear weapons absent the abolishment of u.s. hostile policy which only they get to choose what defines that. arthel: and we're showing the photos earlier of kim yong-chol at the white house. some were saying he is a former north korea spy chief. that's pointing that out. there he is in the

back on made the announcement following a white house meeting with pyongyang's former spy chief kim yong choi despite the house hype surrounding the meeting the president is already lowering expectations of any potential breakthroughs at the summit mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . hughes cameras focused on the room where the meeting was taking place for just over eighty minutes then president trump emerged to announce the summit was back on we'll be. meeting her in june twelfth in singapore like very well it's but this time cautioned against any quick agreement i think it will be a process it's not i never said it goes in one meeting i think it's going to be a process but the relationships of building in this are very positive the announcement followed two days of talks between north korean negotiator kim yong troll and the u.s. secretary of state in new york. and when he was ushered into the white house by the chief of staff he carried with him a letter from the north korean leader kim jong il president trump teased reporters about its content like the reality show host he once

his talks with one of north korean leader kim jong un's closest aides mike compare has met with kim yong cho in new york for a second day the talks are supposed to smooth the way for a summit between donald trump and kim jong il and in less than two weeks but pompei a refused to confirm whether it will actually happen diplomatic editor james bay is reports. a second day of intense diplomacy between the u.s. secretary of state and the north korean envoy who met for almost two and a half hour as reporters watch the comings and goings at the apartment block where the u.s. government owns a residence on the thirty ninth floor state department officials were very cautious in what they said but one man was not as restrained the u.s. president he spoke as the meeting was still under way revealing for the first time that general kim will now head to the white house good morning i just want to tell you we're doing very well with north korea our secretary of state has had very good meetings he's meeting again today i believe they'll be coming down to washington on friday and a letter is going to b

kim yong chol was at the white house. meeting goes over an hour. we were waiting exemptedly. we hand a letter to president trump from kim jong-un. what do we know now about what happened inside that room? >> a couple of surprises i think from the president's comments, chris. we anticipated the president would describe this as a getting to know you session. he did just that. it was longer than many of us expected. what is notable is that the centerpiece of this meeting was the letter from the chairman of north korea kim jong-un deliver permanently today. and at the beginning the president talked about it being a nice letter and wouldn't the media like to know what was in it and a bit later acknowledged he has not yet opened that letter and not yet read its contents. that was when we have seen the president often do a bit of sort of showmanship in his dialogue with reporters and by extension the public talking about how important it was. other notable i think so. the president confirms he will in singapore june 12th talks about it being a multistep process not anticipating that

president trump sitting down with the second most powerful man in north korea, former spy chief kim yong chol. >> he hand delivered a letter from kim jong-un and mr. trump announced the singapore summit is on. our global affairs correspondent elise labott has more for us. >> reporter: president trump and kim yong chol emerged from the oval office smiling after a nearly two-hour meet with trump telling reporters a summit with kim jong-un in singapore is back on. >> we're going to be june 12th. we'll be in singapore. it will be a beginning. i've never said it happens in one meeting. you're talking about years of hostility. years of problems. years of really hatred between so many different nations. >> reporter: kim yong chol arrived at the white house earlier, hand delivering a letter to president trump from kim jong-un. >> i haven't seen the letter yet. i purposely didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it. i didn't open it in front of the director. i said would you want me to open it? he said you can read it later. >> reporter: there was no firm commitment from north korea on denuclear

originally, kim yong-chol was there to bring a letter to president trump from kim jong- un. >> this was literally going to be the delivery of a letter and it ended up being a two- hour conversation. >> reporter: in fact, mr. trump actually made the announcement before reading kim's letter. this comes just 11 days before the summit was supposed to happen. before president trump canceled it with a letter of ci hostility from the north. >> the president issues his famous letter, call or write me, and sadly, democrats dismissed this as being infantile. it has proven to be very visionary. >> reporter: but some outside observers say a one-on-one meeting between the two leaders will be the real test. >> the key question is, what is going to come out of this summit? what is going to be the agreement? the administration has been right to push for full denuclearization by north korea. but it's not entirely clear whether north korea and its leader are going to agree to that. >> reporter: today's visit was also unusual because negotiator kim yong-chol is on a u.s. sanctions list meaning he is not e

our being told that president trump is expected to meet with chol, thea's kim yong former north korea'sf, the general that north korean leader kim jong-il and has sent to president trump to deliver a matter -- a letter. we have heard that the letter does not necessarily contain any significant concessions or threats ahead of that plan summit for june 12 in singapore. you can see him their meeting with secretary of state monk of pao. we know they have already met in new york as well. we now expect president trump to receive the north korean official today at the white house any moment. those pictures are from a previous meeting with secretary of state pompeo ahead of the g7 summit in quebec next week, the finance ministers and central bankers are meeting in whistler. michael is there with the latest. mike, we have heard from the french finance minister calling this not the g7 but g six plus one. give us the latest on the reactions from the u.s. trade tariffs, as well as what's on the agenda. mike: we have been talking all day to finance ministers from man andhe world be to a woman, they

kim yong-chol, a top north korean official, is scheduled to be here to directly deliver a letter from leader kim jong- un to president trump. what will the letters it's a? >> i don't know. i dunno. >> the president thinks it's positive sign that follows two days of talks in new york between kim yong-chol and mike pompeo, who is pushing for the trump-kim summit to happen. >> we've made real progress the next -- last 72 hours. >> reporter: revived high-level talks between north and south korea. on the sidelines that countries like china and russia may play disruptive roles. >> kim jong-un has somehow managed to put himself -- it's on was like he is courting. he is the most eligible bachelor for whatever in northeast asia. everybody is kind of coming to him to see what he wants and what we can do to make you happy and trying to get influence with him. and i think that's a very strong position for him to be in. >> reporter: a strong per post position perhaps. the question that looms over all of this is how serious is kim jong-un and what is he willing to give up along the way? in washingt

kim young chol is the hyatt -- kim yong chol is the highest-ranking figure from north korea to come tothe white house and useful to he delivered a personal letter as part of an effort to get the summit back on track. this is the latest twist in a diplomatic trauma that has played out on twitter and television. trump praised the role of china's president in pushing the summit forward. president trump: i think you see a lot of positive things happening with president xi, who has helped me quite a bit with this. we'll see where it leads, but we will be june 12 in singapore. it will be a beginning. i don't say, and i've never said it happens in one meaningful stop you are talking about years of hostility, years of problems, years of hatred between so many different nations. i think you will h have a very positive result in the end. not from one meeting. brent: from one meeting. we are hearing that for the first time from the u.s. president. let's take it to the white house. alexandra von nahmen is standing by. how did they agree on the summit on june 12? alexandra: apparently the conversat

then days of diplomatic drama with kim yong chol personally delivering a letter to the president from the north korean dictator. is north korea ready to get rid of its weapons? >> i think they want to do that. i know they want to do that. >> mr. trump saying he has no intention of ramping up his campaign. >> i don't want to use the term maximum pressure any more. >> the president signaling the high stakes summit could soon be beyond the north's nuclear program. >> we did discuss that. the end of the korean war. you're talking about 70 years. >> what's the biggest challenge now? >> the most important thing going forward is for the two leaders now to go into quiet mode, no tweeting, no propaganda statements and focus on policy deliverables for singapore on june 12th. >> the white house says it remains clear eyed about north korea's history failing to keep its word. for years, the country lied about its nuclear program and perhaps the biggest hurdle, while the u.s. wants immediate denuclearzation, north korea says it wants a process that could take decades. dara. >> thank you for that. >

highest ranking visit by a north korean official to take place in decades kim jong un's top advisor kim yong saul is currently delivering a letter to president trump from his boss kim jong un following all of this can be how kit too is there in washington as well and remarkable that we have a man who was previously sanctioned by the u.s. now sitting in the oval office. that's right and this is it appears from my monitor here they are still sitting in the oval office what are they doing well we know that the vice chair of north korea delivered a letter that was handwritten we're told by the. north korean leader kim jong un and that it was to be personally delivered to president trump and that is what is taking place right now this is building on of course the relationship building that was occurring in new york city just twenty four hours ago between the u.s. secretary of state and the vice chair of north korea kim yong cho and you're right just the optics of this are absolutely remarkable because a lot had to come into play in order to even allow the vice chair to enter the united states giv

he made the announcement after he met with kim's number 2, kim yong-chol in the oval office friday.'s lowering expectations. >> june 12 will be in singapore. a beginning. i don't say and i've never said it it happens in one meeting. talking about years of hostility. years of problems. years of really hatred between so many different nations. but i think you're going to have a very positive result in the end. >> all right. let's bring in first director of national intelligence under president george w. bush and former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. ambassador, thanks for being with us, you've seen the reports out of the meeting there of kim yong-chol who mutt with tet wit president and staff. was it a good outcome and is it good for the setup for the meeting in singapore? >> i think the president is right to manage expectations. best i think that can come out of it it would be the establishment of some kind of process, some kind of road map toward the ultimate goals, which are both denuclearize of the korean peninsula and normalization of the relationship. i think the preside

. >> reporter: today's visit was also unusual because negotiator kim yong-chol is on a u.s. sanctions list meaning he is not even supposed to be allowed into the country. but today he made it into the oval office as kim jong-un's hand-picked emissary to help broker a deal. >>> new at 5:00 a former employee of an autism foundation has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a man with special needs. our crime reporter henry lee has more on the investigation. >> reporter: this is the man authorities say repeatedly sexually assaulted a man who is intellectually and developmentally disabled. the alleged victim lives here at this group home in pinole known as a better chance. the authorities say he was abused for at least four years until 2017, when he left for another job. >> when the subject actually left the home, is when the victim felt comfortable coming forward and notified a couple of members of the house that he was staying in and they contact the police and that's how we became aware of it. >> reporter: pinole police arrested him at the oakland airport where he

" but the last two days of talks between kim yong—chol and us secretary of state mike pom

there was mike pompeo, kim jong—un, the vice chair kim yong—chol kim yong—chol and john bolton, the controversialeen the two leaders, the summit now begins, on time, i predicted ten o'clock and that was the photo opportunity that we solve, to see the men surrounded around that table with their teams into. we heard of the about what was going on, but it was very busy to hear because of the media hustling around and photographers. i am pretty certain in saying that now this will be a conversation if i close stores between the two teams leading up to what will be a historic summit in terms of the detail of whether or not north korea will give up its nuclear weapons and what north korea are giving to give in return. robert kelly, a professor from university in south korea. we're not there sit much else i do not think. presumably it will be closed doors. it will have to be a give and take. the north korean's highly unlikely that they will give up highly unlikely that they will give up everything. they will ask a lot. evenif up everything. they will ask a lot. even if they give up something, even if th

president trump is meeting now with kim yong chol at the white house. mr. kim is a vice chairman of the central committee. this would be the highest level north korean official visit to the u.s. in almost 20 years. for more details, let's go to washington where our head of national security reporting is following the story. bill, we know that mr. kim is coming with a letter. do we know what the letter contains? anye really don't have specific details about what might be in the letter. we believe it's a response to the very public letter that donald trump sent to kim jong-un heittle over a week ago when initially canceled plans for the june 12 summit in singapore. since then, of course, both sides have been working to resurrect those plans. that is one of the things we are hoping to get more information on when this meeting in the oval office and. is there going to be a june 12 summit in singapore between donald trump and kim jong-un. if so, that would be the first time the leaders of those countries have ever met. shery: what hans could we get from the meeti

we saw secretary pompeo, in his interview after his meeting with kim yong—chol this morning, a lot ofen different approaches, that this time it seems to be different, and the united states, which is not really the normal administration which is to come by trump administration. we are hopeful because of that because something big can happen because those two are both unexpected people. just today, we hear that north korea and russia have agreed to hold a bilateral summit this year. how serious do you think the russians and the north koreans are about that, or is itjust a way to annoy the americans and distract them, do you think? well, russia was apparently one party of the six—party talks before. but at this point, because i really think russia is not playing a key or very significant role. they are busy with their own things. this time, we are not so much concerned, but we are paying attention to china, and the role played by china. and president trump was not happy with that, according to his comments. although it depends on how much he believes that comment or not. a positive role,

>> reporter: it must be important enough because kim yong chol got the waiver.owed to go to new york. special dispensation on the waiver to go to d.c. to hand deliver the letter. president trump seems optimistic. his assessment of secretary pompeo's meeting had gone well. the past 72 hours the progress was well. he doesn't noknow if the summit will go ahead in 11 days. he said you know we believe that the north koreans are contemplating a path change that can be a strategic shift. this is the level of change that is required. he said he believes kim jong-un can make a bold decision, but at the moment, you know, that question of can the north koreans do enough? it is unclear to pompeo and perhaps when president trump opened the letter it will be clear to him. dave. >> fascinating if the president reveals. nic, thank you. >>> a check on cnn money. trade war fears are back. dow fell 250 points after the u.s. hit the eu, canada and mexico with the metal tariffs. the three quickly promised retaliation. global stocks are mixed. economists expect solid hiring. unemploy

but the fact that kim yong chol is going to deliver it is a sign we are moving in that direction. jane: barbara plett-usher in new york for us. for more on the negotiations, my colleague katty kay spoke to former defense secretary leon panetta short time ago. she started by asking if president trump's unconventional style may be getting results. mr. panetta: there has been a lot of unpredictability here, and i don't think anybody can jump to conclusions as to where this is going at this point. we hope for the best. obviously, it is important that the united states and north korea be able to sit down and determine whether they can come to a comprehensive agreement. the problem i see is that we are short on time. we're talking about 12 days to a summit. i think in order to arrive at any comprehensive agreement, it will be very difficult to do in that timeframe. the hope is that they can at least agree to some raw goals -- broad goals and future negotiations. i think that would be a step in the right direction. katty: the white house and the president himself is now leaving wiggle ro

this was after the meeting, as ryan mentioned, with kim yong chol. the ex-spy chief who hand delivered a letter from north korean leader kim jong-un. for more on what the letter entailed, what was there which we know the letter was examined for toxins before it was delivered, let's will go to will ripley in singapore. hello, what do we know about the letter? >> reporter: we know that it was a letter from kim jong-un to president trump. we know that it was delivered in a formal, official way, and we know that president trump obviously liked what he read because he's pushing forward with the summit. in fact, he announced he was going to push forward with the summit before he read the letter. he did that because apparently it was a favorable meeting in the oval office with kim yong chol, north korea's ex-spy master. it shows how really far things have come just -- within the last week. north korea and the united states were trading bombastic rhetoric. then the summit was off. now it's back on in singapore. there are teams from the u.s. and north korea on

the meeting with kim yong-chol in new york. there is no question a lot has happened in the last few days. i think president trump, we could go any cancel this comedy set lights on the letter and basically told the north koreans that he had opened the promise for the future if they got their act together. they got their act together. i think a lot of credit goes to the secretary of state. it is important to realize that when he became cia director he did something that had never been done before. he created a back channel to north korea. the truth is, a lot of give and take a lot of this dialogue has been going on since pompeo became the cia director. i think those are his the secretary of state and one individual, enter kim is an expert in all three. pompeo poured out of retirement to stand up. he was with the white house chief of staff, kelly, to welcome kim yong-chol. a lot of credit goes to pompeo. >> also seemed to lower expectations of the meeting singapore suggesting we start along the diplomatic process. does that make s

the last two days of talks between kim yong—chol and the us secretary of state mike pompeo seem to haves. but it's not clear whether they've really agreed on an aim or even what denuclearisation means. is kim committed to denuclearisation? i think so, i think he wants to see it happen, he wants to be careful. he's not going to run and do things, but i told them, to be honest with you, look, we have sanctions on, they are very powerful sanctions, we would not take sanctions off unless they do it. if the letter did make a difference it was a gesture, not its contents. president trump hadn't taken it out of the envelope by the time he waved goodbye to the north korean leader's right—hand man. the comings at this white house. for the minute that date ofjune the 12th is firmly back in the diary. the two sides can agree on that. however, north korea and america seemed divided on that key term of denuclearisation. to the white house it means north korea getting rid of all of its weapons and immediately. kim jong—un seems to have different ideas and even after the delivery of that much anticipa

kim yong-chol is considered chairman kim jong un's right hand man. he was also the country's notorious spy chief, blamed for a 2010 attack that killed 46 south korean sailors, and the 2014 cyberattack on sony pictures. he's on a u.s. sanctions list, and needed special permission to visit the u.s. today pompeo said their talks were positive, but sometimes difficult. >> i've had some difficult conversations with them as well, they've given it right back to me too. there are decades into this challenge. one ought not to be surprised, or frightened, or deterred by moments where it looks like there are challenges. >> schifrin: beyond new york, two other u.s. teams are trying to resurrect the summit. in the demilitarized zone, veteran u.s. diplomat sung kim is leading a team meeting north korean officials. and in singapore, a team led by white house deputy chief of staff joe hagin is working on logistics, making sure they're ready if the summit is back on track for june 12. and tomorrow, president trump >> woodruff: north korea state tv announced kim jong
