secretary of state mike pompei o with whom he will be meeting this is significant because previous visits between the u.s. secretary of state and north korean officials happened in pyongyang this is now happening on u.s. soil an important gesture in the eyes of the united states as the two sides begin to build trust leading towards what the white house says will be an expected meeting between the north korean leader kim jong un and the u.s. president but of course the date not yet confirmed now the white house says it is continuing to actively prepare for a meeting between the two leaders in addition to delegations in asia there is also work happening here at the white house the national security adviser john bolton discussions daily going on we're told according to the white house press secretary between not only the national security team here in the united states but also the counterparts in south korea as well as japan in addition to just trying to nail down the the meeting and whether or not it will occur other fine details that are being worked out the agenda what does denuclearizat

casualties as rights groups continue to call on saudi arabia to end the conflict former cia director mike pompei o has been sworn in as u.s. secretary of state more news today given a ringing endorsement by donald trump the president said he believes the appointment will reenergize the country's foreign policy establishment. i must say that's more spirit than i've heard from the state department in a long time many years we can say many years maybe many decades it's going to be a fantastic start a fantastic day and that spirit will only be magnified only with this man right here i know that for a fact right. now it's official praises a true american hero my palm pale has been sworn in as the nation's chief diplomat and he's vowing to make department great again i talked about getting back our swagger and i'll fill in what i mean by that but it's important the united states diplomatic corps needs to be in every corner every stretch of the world executing missions on behalf of this country and pump a speech was well received by everyone from the media to other officials some didn't even wait to comp

secretary of state mike pompei o says israel's information shows the international nuclear deal with iran was quote built on lies. and then by to talk about today it is iran expert who joins us now from a disorder for mr debate of a there are two dueling narratives a dominating the headlines at the moment the one that iran is deceptive not comply and then there are those who are keeping the nuclear deal on life support by saying iran is it hearing to their terms who's come out on top. well we have an internationally recognized watchdog of the nuclear agreement which is the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency they have issued ten reports that are saying iran is fulfilling its commitments so there shouldn't really be a question about this i think so how is iran reacted to that presentation. for now rather quietly i think that if the foreign minister he has basically ridiculed the statements of benjamin netanyahu of last night that was to be expected that there are no real serious reactions to that and that they are belittling his presentation so that shrugging it off is not

should also look at the bigger picture we have john bolton as trump's national security advisor mike pompei o as secretary of state and now it's you know house bill as cia director so as far as u.s. foreign policy goes we can't be too sure we will see. former cia analyst john kiriakou believes the democratic party's failure to build councils appointment shows a crisis within the party. but we saw in the senate today was a collapse among democrats a collapse in democratic leadership you know how hard it's going to be to convince our european allies that it's ok to have a torturer as the director of the cia what's the united states going to do when when the german federal prosecutor for example follows through with his recommendation that charges be filed against you know has used for crimes against humanity how can you have a cia director that's not permitted to go to europe because she has serious felony charges hanging over her head this is something that the democrats could have seized on and they had the support of john mccain and they had the support of jeff flake junior senator from ariz

frequency of these visits really underscore the flurry of diplomacy that is now going on with mike pompei o currently in pyongyang and of course kim jong un making his second visit here to china i think china might well have said to the young leader look if president donald trump is prepared to walk away from a multilateral deal over iran's nuclear program then he's quite prepared to do the same thing with you so i think president i think shooting ping wants to get a clear idea as to what kim jong un's negotiating strategy is going to be i think china is pretty carefree pretty sanguine about the idea of leaders of the two koreas sitting down face to face but it's less sanguine about the idea of kim jong un sitting down face to face with president donald trump so yes i think china is feeling in secure and over iran it has good reason to feel insecure because china is committed to the nuclear deal that it's signed it has been talking up this deal for the past three years and it will worry because china relies on iran for a lot of the oil that it currently imports twenty five percent of all of

breaks before now and i think it's probably reasonable to speculate that with kim young child and mike pompei o effectively their bosses in all of this negotiating process going to be holding higher level talks thursday in new york possibly they are taking a break to see what comes of those talks before they resume their talks again and of course down in singapore we have another group of officials meeting to go through all of the protocols on the logistics assuming that this summit is going to take place could point let's let's remember it's officially not actually happening at this point is that right mcbride in seoul with the latest thank you. just became the director of the center for conflict management sat at weill woman's university has told us there's already been great progress if the u.s. and north korea are willing to discuss denuclearization. so as long as the term dismantlement what it means is on the agenda for the singapore summit on june twelfth or whenever it takes place i think that's great progress i mean the fact that they want to agree on day one or minute one of that meeti
