any of that mike pompeo showed up last time in july that any of the that mike pompeo showed up lasts that donald trump has —— had promised in terms of a peace regime that would be led into a declaration of peace. that is the sequence north korean ‘s sea. declaration of peace, then the piece details which will be negotiated later. they appeared to be making concessions, they released this japanese tourists over the weekend, there have been significant developments in terms of the repatriation of the us remains from the korean war. then was from both north and south had a chance to meet just about a week ago. —— families from. tell us about the progress that north korea is making, the concessions, is it enough? it isn't quite denuclearisation. so far they have done things that are really reversible, or are not in that core basket of security issues that they really worry about and the us are worried about. with the released japanese man, i think that was the case of somebody lower down having suspicions about a videographer, taking a lot of videos, flagging this guy and going up the b

the reality is, we are making progress and evidence of that is, for example, mike pompeo going back toegion tomorrow. i know mike well, i trust him. he wouldn't be doing this if he didn't feel like there is an opportunity to do something if you'd ask me a year ago, i would have said no, i don't think kim jong-un will agree to denuclearize the peninsula, there is an opportunity to do that. >> harris: can you tell us what the actual word means, denuclearization, not just for us and our perspective, but most importantly for kim jong-un and whether or not we are on the same page with it? >> that actually is one of the key elements here that we have to decipher. when i think of denuclearization, i think of actually removing all nuclear weapons from the peninsula, north korea. kim jong-un may look at that and say, well, i mean i will disark semble my program, i won't build anymore weapons, but i'll keep a couple of them. that is really what we're negotiating with, among other things, but that is kind of the key to negotiations, what does that mean. i think it is important we press for this i

beyond that, mike pompeo was having a message that was being sent not just pompeo was having a messagewas being sent notjust north korea but also russia. that is because of exactly that issue that you mentioned. that is to do with sanctions. there are is some evidence which is being given to the un security council that pyongyang is managing to get around to evade sanctions. there are some indications, for example, that there has been a big increase in police and transfer from petroleum from ship to ship and also some evidence of scores of russian companies doing business with north korea. so what they want to do is to try to keep they want to do is to try to keep the pressure on north korea. they say that russia needs to fall into line and make sure that is happening. it is interesting that you talk about the difference in tone between president trump and his secretary of state mike pompeo. earlier in the week, mr trump was sounding grateful and touched that the north had returned the remains of some us soldiers from the korean war. do you think those steps are building confidence on

mike pompeo was scheduled to make his fourth trip there next week. newly appointed envoy. now the president is cancelling it, telling us he asked pompeo not to make that trip. pompeo was under a lot of pressure. this was going to be one of the most significant trips of his career because he's under real pressure to show this diplomacy with north korea is actually producing tangible results. that's something that's been in question ever since that summit in singapore between the president and kim jong-un when they sat down and signed that agreement about denuclearizing. yet, there have been no real results since then. the administration is only able to point to things that happened before singapore, like no more missiles being fired off or anything like that, of that nature. of course, wolf, you'll remember the last time that mike pompeo went to north korea, he was jerked around by the north koreans. they kept changing his schedule and informing him of things later on. then he never even met with the north korean dictator as he was scheduled to. so thi

we know mike pompeo has been several times to north korea, what has he achieved so far? had been reports over the last couple of weeks that there had been facilities dismantled, this is fairly cosmetic stuff. nonetheless, it is better than nothing. the fix he finds himself in, this is his big priority and what matters to donald trump and the americans are in a difficult position because in the end they will not get kim jong—un to give up his nuclear weapons but they have to try and nudge them in the right direction and make it look like this huge gamble he took in singapore is going to work. looking at asia, would talk about mike pompeo here to increase america's influence in this region are. earlier this week he pledged $130 million of investments into asia, a drop in the ocean compare to how much china has been spending on its belt and rogue initiative in the region are. it looks like these two powerhouses are battling it out in a tug of warfor powerhouses are battling it out in a tug of war for influence powerhouses are battling it out in a tug of warfor influence in

is interesting, you talk about the difference in tone between president trump and mike pompeo.er in the week president trump was sounding incredibly grateful and touched that the north had returned the remains of some us soldiers from the remains of some us soldiers from the korean war. do you think those steps a re the korean war. do you think those steps are building confidence on both sides or are they largely symbolic? he also used the word is kindness. that's what donald trump referred to, he thanked kim jong—un for his kindness. some people would argue that is an unusual thing to say about a leader who has been responsible for human rights abuses. at the same time, they want to try and keep that relationship going. mike pompeo does want to try to ensure that they also get denuclearisation and the korean peninsular. that is what america regards as north korea giving up its nuclear weapons. they've shown no sign they are going to do that yet and beyond that it's not even clear thatis and beyond that it's not even clear that is what pyongyang means when they talk about denuc

now, moscow might deny that but mike pompeo seemed very might deny that but mike pompeo seemed very sure and thatis concerned, that is happening and that is something that america feels it needs to stop. at the same time, north korea also feels that the us are putting too much pressure on north korea, they feel that they are being targeted here at the same time as donald trump seems to be talking warmly about kim jong—un. he was doing so on twitter only this week and he made a point at this summit of southeast asian countries of sending a long letter to be given to kim jong—un which does indicate that they have a relationship. and of course that has been seized on by the north koreans themselves, their foreign minister making it clear that what is alarming is the insistent moves within the us to go back to the old, far from its leader's intentions, an indication that they believe president trump believes one thing and some in his administration believe another. what about other reaction in the region to this report? well, you will see the usual split in terms of this, which is that china

i think what we are seeing happen is that mike pompeo, secretary of state, briefed the president thatesident got fed up and was frustrated with what he sees as a lack of progress on these talks. the president we started this in the lead up to the singapore talks where he canceled the meeting with kim jong un and then the north koreans going back to the table in a way that was efficient from the president's perspective and the meeting went forward. i think what we are really seeing here is so many different geopolitical things that play, judge jeanine. the trade talks happen with the chinese, which i think are very tough, they did not seem to make a lot of progress over the last few days.gr the chinese are playing hardball but so was the president, more than any other president. we are also seeing a very strange dynamic that we need to be aware of, and that is the south koreans. president moon, for lack of a better word, he is the barack obama of asia. i think we have to be very careful about what the south koreans are doing. they made speeches last week at which they are trying to bui

david: secretary of state mike pompeo is in singapore. bold warning to turkey today to free american pastor andrew brunson. pompeo also commenting on progress with north korea. rich edson live at the state department. what can you tell us about the latest? reporter: good afternoon, david. the secretary of state said it could be a long process to finally get north korea to surrender its nuclear weapons. the secretary of state is traveling in singapore there, asean summit. he says there is ways to go to achieve ultimate out come of a nuclear free north korea. they sanctioned a russian bank for working with north korea. that russia imports north korean labor, violating a united nations security council resolution it supported. nikki haley says, until we see the final fully verified, denuclearization of north korea, there can be no easing of sanctions. talk is cheap. russia can not support sanctions with their words in the security council only to violate them with their actions. on the international front the united states is pressing turkey

mike pompeo was embarrassed in pyongyang when he showed up for a rocket man cd for kim and didn't getand he got nothing and what he did get was insulted. this is not a good visit at all. >> reporter: and then the hammering he got from democratic senators. >> they've agreed to denuclearize. it certainly includes the -- >> i would love for you to come to a classified setting and tell all members what transpired because we don't know. >> reporter: experts giver the president and his team credit for ramping down military tensions with kim. but they say the current pressure on the president could stem from his own bravado. >> he has promised too much, that he perhaps could not deliver. he has promised there would be a different relationship, that their security issues would be dressed but he hasn't made any move to that. >> reporter: now some analysts are most worried about tonight if this diplomatic offensive with north korea fails and denuclearization doesn't happen, that president trump could somehow feel personally betrayed by kim jong-un and that the personal insults between them will

the president canceled secretary mike pompeo's latest trip to north korea. where is this headed?you think the united states had its hopes set too high? >> i think we're back in a sense moment. i think the declaration achieved back when the president and chairman kim met was probably vaguer than one would have hoped, denuclearization doesn't mean the same thing to us that it means to them and so forth and now we've seen them testing our resolve, trying to drive a wedge between south korea and us, us and china and you'll have seen that the secretary of state yesterday called his counterp t counterparts in japan and south korea trying to rebuild what was a strong bulwark of opposition to action in's actions and then we have to get china back into this but that's more difficult that was it was done before because we have the trade actions against china. so this is where you have to look around the world and ask what are the real priorities? some of these others have to take second stage. you have to get coherence and i think that's what we'll watch to see if secretary mike pompeo wit

this letter delivered to mike pompeo by his chief kim yong-chol. the north koreans feel they were laying out what they expected all along. they want a peace deal and denuclearization later. the u.s. wants denuclearization first and then concessions like a peace deal and other things. i want to read a portion of what a source told me overnight. quote, the u.s. is still not ready to meet the north korean expectations in taking a step to sign a peace treaty. a step forward in the north korean view. some in the trump administration feel that is one more concession that weakens the united states position. the united states position weakened considerably, the president stated as such, because china is no longer enforcing the sanctions that were key to the pressure campaign. south korea is still moving forward with the summit next month. the u.s. and north korea in lock step with the statement in singapo singapore. the u.s. think it means something else. dave. >> fundamental issues that plagued the issue from the beginning. will ripley, thank you. >>> the

john: right now, this is the fourth trip by mike pompeo. is this a good sign as far as negotiations? >> i think it's great. what secretary pompeo is doing is he's now brought stephen into the picture here, who was the v.p. for international government affairs at ford but has an extensive foreign policy background. 14 years advising on the hill, also served in the bush white house under condoleezza rice. so he has an extensive international security background. so what they are doing now, the devil's in the details. now they will start trying to work out the details of verifying steps. we have seen reports from the iaea that say there's no indications that north korea's really making steps towards denuclearization and we look at the satellite imagery, commercial imagery that's available, it looks like work to break apart research facilities, et cetera, has halted. in fact, they are expanding facilities that build solid fuel. so it's a matter at this point of making those steps verifiable and really getting some details on paper. john: i can u

the secretary state of the fourth for mike pompeo to go to russia, i mean north korea, it is off. president is says he is disappointed in the pace of denuclearization. cheryl casone will get into that and much more the next hour. cheryl: it is friday, doesn't mean it will slow down. neil, thank you very much. breaking right now, president trump is expected to depart the white house at any moment for an event in iowa, excuse me, ohio, this as the president is directing secretary mike pompeo not to visit north korea at this time saying quote, we are not making sufficient progress on denuclearization. hello, everybody, i'm cheryl casone in for trish regan today. welcome to "the intelligence report." we're seeing if president trump addresses reporters when he leaves the white house to depart on air force one. we're waiting pictures from the white house. we're learning the long-time cfo of the trump organization was granted immunity in the michael cohen investigation. what does that mean for the administration. we're seeing luckily a friday rally right now. the dow is up triple digits.

we can't send mike pompeo for a fourth time to north korea if there is going to be no progress. making an educated guess here. i have a feeling the north koreans indicated to the president that kim jong un waste not going to meet with mike pompeo. that's what happened with the third visit. there is really no reason to send the secretary of state again to north korea if there is going to be no progress. special in the north koreans are going to get angry like they did the last time and start issuing press statements that the talks are not working, we are not sincere when we are the ones that said mike pompeo three times. had a summit with kim jong un. cancelled military exercises. this president has bent over backwards to try to make this work. so, you know, there is frustration there. griff: harry, what role does china play in this? how much of a factor are they? >> china has a huge role in all of this. the chinese right now are obviously very upset over our trade stance which president trump is doing the right thing there but what committexi jinping understands h korea could be

and president telling mike pompeo not go to to north korea.nd don't forget to watch justice tomorrow night at 9:00 eastern. i hope you'll tune in. sean's back
