secretary of state mike pompei or face criticism from within his own party. i am afraid there is this point the united states the trouble ministration is being taken for a ride you're not senator you're not. there is no doubt the u.s. intelligence community is watching north korea closely it is unclear however what progress has been made toward denuclearization since the trump him summit. all right and not like to welcome our brand or he is an asia analyst with the german council on foreign relations good to see you mr berger is america being taken for a ride not doing things that were i mean at the moment the consultations are ongoing on the border when joe and they are at the moment trying to set up a framework for a process where they will actually make small steps which it sure will lead to to clear ideas what's going to happen with the missile poster article can the findings the intelligence leaks that the report is based on can these findings be corroborated in the bend of the independently verified well at this stage it's very difficult so far we don't

secretary of state mike pompei oh called them productive but just hours after he left the country north korea accused the u.s. of making what it called gangsta like demands it also described the u.s. approach to the talks as extremely regrettable on players two day visit was supposed to pin down some of the details of when and how north korea would give up its nuclear weapons he's now in tokyo for talks with the japanese and south korean foreign ministers castro has more from washington. it certainly is concerning when you have two sides of a negotiation who describe their experiences of the same event with such opposing terms first let's also say u.s. secretary of state mike pompei as he's leaving north korea describing what he felt was a successful meeting we made progress on almost all of the central issues some places a great deal of progress other place there's still more work to be done we talked about what the north koreans are continuing to do and how it's the case we can get our arms around keeping what germany here meant present proposed a great deal which was the complete nuc

i think meeting with people is great we had a great meeting with chairman kim and i'll tell you mike pompei i did a fantastic job i made ask you to say a few words mike while you're here just one second. thank you mr president. so i did i returned actually came straight from north korea with a couple of stops here to brussels we had a productive conversation there remains a great deal of work to do but i think most importantly my counterpart kenyan troll made a commitment consistent with what president trump was able to achieve with chairman kim which was they intend to denuclearize they're going to accomplish it and now the task is to get it implemented. i think it's just to finish on that you know it's so important that was an amazing and really an amazing meeting i thought and i really think that we establish very good relationships will see where it all ends but there have been no missile tests there have been no research with has been they have blown up a side i hear they're blowing up another site missile site they've taken down all of the propaganda in fact somebody said there's no m

absolutely disgraceful a disservice to america he blamed everyone except russia secretary of state mike pompei o goes before senators on wednesday to try to explain what happened some experts say pompei or might have a hard time doing so but they don't know what trump talked about with putin in that meeting it was it was just the two of them and translators. and things are emerging every day that are clearly coming as a surprise even to some of tom's closest advisors in fact it's been moscow that has revealed what trump and putin discussed behind closed doors the syrian civil war north korea's nuclear weapons program. joint counter-terrorism operations in the middle east the crisis in eastern ukraine and crimea arms control treaties and the charges russia is undermining the us political process but some analysts say despite their anger republicans won't put as much pressure on pompei o as one might expect many of them are up for election in the mid-term elections it's more important for them to stay in power than to act on principle no matter what happens in the hearing there is a growing cons

statements suggest washington aims to reduce the nation's oil exports to zero but secretary of state mike pompei o says they may grant waivers to a handful of countries importing iranian crude when sanctions snap back later this year the trumpet ministration has said it wants to deny iran revenue it's previously used to finance terrorism. and speaking of oil the price continues to tumble younes court is following this for us on wall street here's how steep is this latest on all drug. well on wednesday we saw the biggest drop in the price of oil in more than three years and that continued here on thursday at one point western texas intermediate oil that gets traded here in new york dropped below seventy dollars per barrel well there is overall concern that if the trade war continues that this could hamper the chinese economy and that is one of the big . countries using oil that could be a damper on demand and therefore it could drive prices a bit lower but then there's also the question what happens with venezuela what happens with iran if we might see a shortage in deliveries from those countrie

triumphs that he's been able to to achieve that president obama couldn't mark us secretary of state mike pompei oh essentially walked back donald trump's comments but donald trump said that he would be willing to meet with no conditions from your vantage point when donald trump says he'd be willing to meet hasan rouhani with no conditions does he mean no conditions imposed by iran or no conditions imposed by the u.s. . well as difficult as what we can see is some kind of parallel with what happened with north korea if you look at the way the singapore meeting presented the first meeting between the us president and the korean leader. started by saying that he considered the opposing side someone he could deal with and then you had a complete change africa tarik where it was very aggressive and that led to a. an opening where there could be some room for negotiation and just before dinner meeting the singapore meeting in from issue this letter that he would not probably not meet kim jong il and then india and they met so here it might be part of the. negotiating raising the stake in order to get

secretary of state mike pompei on monday certainly there was and he's always been very hardline on iran maintain that the united states continues with those crushing sanctions that are snapping back into place the goal is to try and put maximum pressure economically on iran and citing that this tactic is working given the fact that there have been recent protests that the united states has pointed out on the concerns about the currency crisis as well as other economic difficulties so this is really the feeling of the united states that well there is this position by iran of trying to work within the existing agreement the united states stance is that there needs to be a new agreement in place and how much support is there for the songs in the u.s. . well there seems to be a little bit of division there certainly are two camps that appear to be forming within the trumpet ministration there certainly is the position of mike pompei o but there is also the division between the u.s. secretary of state and the national security advisor or rather sorry the u.s. secretary of defense james matti

secretary of state mike pompei o has brushed off north korean accusations of making gangster like demands and his push for the country to denuclearize the north korean officials made those comments after mr pompei went to pyongyang for the latest round of talks he's since been in tokyo to prove japan and south korea about progress.

with north korean officials they also have not made any announcement about any future travel for mike pompei with the u.s. secretary of state even though he has said that he expects to be meeting with north korean officials in the weeks ahead of efforts to try to move this plan to denuclearize north korea of course this also comes at a time when the acting assistant secretary of state for east asia ferret's susan thorton has announced her resignation even though she was on tap to become the permanent on voice for east asia in the trumpet ministration it's being read as perhaps another criticism of the trumpet ministrations foreign policy but she is not speaking publicly about her decision to retire now from the foreign service and then we'll see i've been reports in recent days in which costs down on north korea is willingness to denuclearize what has the president and sang. well the president was asked this question while being interviewed on fox news in the past couple of days and what was said in the sunday broadcast was that he believes that the north koreans are serious he said that he

my pompei always bringing the negotiating position john bolton and mike pence to the negotiating table in pyongyang whereby the united states insists that d.p. r. k. north korea unilaterally surrender and then it may be perhaps the u.s. will change its policy of hostility and a policy whereby it uses economic sanctions to deprive north koreans of food and medicine if it then was my pompei was negotiating position that won't work for the d.p. r. k. and the p r k said it was regrettable that the us adopted this position this negotiating position but what that the p r k also said is that they still want friendly relations with the united states and that the path to denuclearization in the korean peninsula think was a step by step confidence building and receptor equal synchronized approach by both sides would actually work that could want you for the short break . became this national camera. roughly once they showed some new play you for the. future uncool videos doing the woke up and someone with the broccoli string and. lying around more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. the corrupt

the same page when it comes to dealing with north korea the one thing that was very evident from mike pompei or that he wanted to emphasize that north korea and the talks were on track despite what is being said from pyongyang at the moment. yes that and that's exactly the message is getting across so this is the first time he's actually officially responded since north korean foreign ministry mystery put out there this statement last night he said north korea in the meetings in pyongyang of the last couple days he said north korea reaffirmed reaffirmed its commitment to dig nuclearization details on the next step to confirm that they would meet in july to discuss the repair of the u.s. service members he said they agreed to destroy the nuclear test sites and the obvious stablish these working level groups which will work day to day on moving forward on this denuclearization plan he did acknowledge the road ahead will be difficult and challenging but he said peace is worth the effort so certainly strong words he's emphasized that the talks are still on track he's gone through in a limited wa
