so the fact that mr. kimhose to come to china at this juncture is perceived by many as him sending a signal to donald trump that north korea does not have to rely on the u.s. for its economic development and diplomatic relations, it could still count on china to sproid p provide it with an economic and political lifeline. coincidentally, of course, this visit also came when u.s. and chinese trade negotiators were in town holding talks. so many have argued mr. xi probably wouldn't mind the timing either because this serves as a reminder to donald trump that china still holds cards in its sleeve, including north korea. >> you could imagine them dangling that, saying we could make progress on this nuclear thing if you soften your positions on the trade talks. >> absolutely. >>> the president takes his border wall push prime time, but did americans hear his message? we talk next with the white house strategic communications director. alright, i brought in ensure max protein... to give you the protein you need wit

there is no evidence that the denuclearization the president and mr. kim talked about in singapore in june has even begun. the north koreans have not even turned over the first step, the list of their facilities, the number of missiles they have, the number of weapons they have, where they store them. this next summit has got to be focussed on a very rigorous plan to get from a to b, and it's not clear right now that the president is intent on that. he keeps saying we have all the time in the world. >> david, thank you for your insight. good to have you with us. >> thank you. good to see you, ana. >>> coming up live in the cnn news room, ocasio cortez in a brand new interview with anderson cooper. she's been on the receiving end, but tonight she's firing back. that's next. do your asthma symptoms ever hold you back? about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 ocasi

mr kim has so far made few real concessions. fourth visit, interesting that on this occasion the announced the visit before he arrived in beijing, which perhaps speaks of his growing confidence. when it comes to this trade rally between china and the us, north korea is a useful pressure point to beijing. yes. the fact that red tops are taking place in beijing just as kim jong—un is visiting, you wonder whether people are feeling uncomfortable in how they are managing all of those convoys around the city today because they certainly don't want to be bumping into each other. president trump has been critical of china in the past over its handling of north korea, not doing enough on north korea, he needs those trade talks, wants them to go well, he tweeted that the trade talks are going well, it is all wrapped up together. is to keep the pressure on the chinese over trade and keep the pressure on them over north korea. he doesn't want to see a rapprochement between them, particularly if not much progress has been made on the ground

mr kim is being accompanied by his wife during the visit, according to state media reports.t between mr kim and us president donald trump. the two met last june, the first such meeting for a sitting us president. there he is with president xi. let's talk to our correspondent in seoul, laura bicker. it is the fourth meeting between kim jong—un and president xi in less than a year, what is that signal? that north korea is reviewing its friendship with china. before last year, kim jong—un had friendship with china. before last year, kimjong—un had spent six yea rs year, kimjong—un had spent six years in power without going to see his closest ally and his main source of both trade and aid, around 80 to 90% of north korea's trade comes from china. but if he was going to meet other global leaders in step onto the international stage, he probably thought it was time that he met president xi in beijing now before he met other leaders. the last time he has come to beijing was before his first historic summit with president moonjae—in, and then before his summer with president trump.

trump said he had an incredible meeting with mr kim and the two sides had made, as he put it, a lotrisation. 0ur correspondent laura bicker gave us this update from seoul. i think, when it comes to vietnam, it's looking more and more likely. and perhaps hanoi, perhaps da nang, we'll have to wait and see. when it comes to the swedish talks, though, they are looking meaningful. certainly the south korean nuclear envoy is also in sweden, which means it's north korea, south korea and the us all round one table, being led by, we understand, some swedish officials. it does look like those talks are meaningful and could lay the groundwork for discussions in that summer. so let's just be clear. there is no official confirmation of a second summit. there's just a lot of speculation about where it may be. i think when it comes to the second summit, donald trump has said it will happen at the end of february, so we can be sure there will be a meeting. when it comes to the location, well, vietnam is emerging as a front runner. there have been several reports from bloomberg, and our colleagues i

mr kim said he could be forced to look at what he called another path, and warned the us not to misjudge patience. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent, laura bicker, who is in south korea, and i asked her what we should make of the address. well, first of all, that renewing of his commitment to denuclearisation, i wouldn'tjust gloss over that. yes, the international community have heard this from donald trump from here in south korea, president moonjae—in about the agreements that kimjong—un signed up to, but kim jong—un‘s audience for his new year address is domestic. that means that people sitting around their breakfast tables have heard it from the north korean leader himself, they have heard the word "denuclearisation", so i don't think that that should be taken too lightly. second of all, when it came to his warning, he was very clear, he was very unequivocal. despite the fact he acknowledged what had gone on in 2018 between himself and donald trump, a relationship that was once hostile had been made new, he did give a warning to the united states, and that warning was we're not g

it follows talks in washington between the president and one of mr kim's most trusted envoys, kim yong the new summit follows last year's historic meeting in singapore. its location is yet to be announced, though reports say preparations could begin in sweden very soon. lastjune president trump and kimjong un agreed a vague statement about denuclearization, but talks had made little progress since. let's get the latest from barbara plett—usher in washington. it is quite big news, isn't it, given the threat and security terms that washington sees in north korea? yes, it is big news for a number of reasons and that is because there has been a diplomatic process for the last eight months or so but that has stalled. this summit is named to restart that in some form or breathe new life into it and this is going to happen again at the highest level which happened lastjune. that is interesting and it is happening just as the americans have put out their new missile defence strategy in which the north koreans are still called an extraordinary and ongoing threat. that report says there is a cha

state mike pompeo and then moving onto the white house, where the president met for 90 minutes with mr kimrying a personal message from the north korean leader, kim jong—un. so they agreed to hold this summit, but there's no indication how that summit might break the deadlock in nuclear negotiations that has persisted since the two leaders last met in june. sanctions is one of the main issues of disagreement. the united states says that they should be lifted only after the north koreans have fully dismantled their nuclear weapons programme. kim jong—un says they should be lifted in phases, beginning now, and it seems that he wasn't getting anywhere with the emissaries the president was sending, so perhaps that is why he wants to speak to the man at the top himself. as for mr trump, he may also welcome the chance to have a made for television moment with the north korean leader to distract from his troubles at home. the nhs has told the high street chemist superdrug it could do more to protect the mental health of customers who want botox and dermal fillers. the high street chain started of

himself essentially back where he was at the beginning in achieving the ambitious goal of getting mr. kimto relinquish his nuclear arsenal. did the june summit just change optics or change any reality given where it seems like we are at sort of square one here. >> i think david's piece is right. this is a little bit groundhog day. we have seen the administration and the president in particular wildly from fire and fury to falling in love with kim jong-un. yet we find ourselves in the place that we started. it is good that the temperature is lower than it was back in the fire and fury days. the problem is this, thus far, at least, the president has been played by kim jong-un and the art of the deal looks a lot more like the art of the steal. kim has been legitimized by the meeting with president trump. we are divided from our closest allies, south korea and we have gotten very little if nothing in return. it is good that they stop testing. their program has continued to move forward. they have not removed a single nuclear weapon. there is just a lot of hard work to be done and making grand

and as i recall, we have seen mr. kim before. isn't he involved in the intelligence service? isaac: he is believed to be the one responsible for the sinking of the -- which killed dozens of south korean sailors. north korea denied it. david: this is not a big secret, we knew there would be an envoy coming over and we thought they would be meeting with president trump. to what end? isaac: i think they are trying to work out the details for the second summit and i think that they want a relief of sanctions and more legitimacy from the american people and global community, and donald trump wants in the ability to say to his base, i made you safe and i solved north korea. david: talk about victory, what that means. because, typically you have another summit where you have made progress since the last summit. but what has actually happened since the last summit? we have talked about what should happen, but i am not aware of anything that has been done. isaac: normally, you get rewarded to meet the american president when you have done some of the things you have said you will do,

they're setting that up, and the president is obviously very eager to have that second summit with mr. kim. but at the same time that he's setting that up and the white house is preparing for that, they're also saying, look, we need this missile defense technology. >> i also want to refresh everyone's memory, i know you'll never forget it, jeff, this is jeff mason in helsinki asking the key question to trump and putin at that news conference. president putin, did you want president trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that? >> translator: yes, i did, because he talked about bringing the u.s./russia relationship back to normal. >> so maybe there wasn't collusion from the trump campaign to russia but there certainly was russian investment, shall we say, in the trump campaign's victory, jeff. >> yeah, that was a big moment last year. and certainly the fact that the president of russia was willing to say there and publicly that he wanted president trump to win was a big deal. he didn't go on to describe whether or not russia -- i mean, in fact he de
