european security you're not going to get out of it what you want to get out of it that's right i think mr bolton who is a security advisor talked about an unstructured meeting with his words and not expecting any deliverables so supporting exactly is the u.s. agenda that well i think that this is completely driven by the president himself and not by any of his advisors or anybody else in the united states government and i think that the desire here is to as was mentioned get us. so there are poor feel out of lattimer putin himself and see if he can build the basis for something more lasting i think he'll come out of this meeting giving his secretary of state and others certain marching orders saying you know we need to do x. and y. whether or not those come to fruition is yet to be seen this is basically the singapore playbook ok and the elephant in the room of course the accusations that russia meddled in the us elections back in twenty sixteen how seriously do you think trump is going to confront putin over this issue well he said he would bring it up but when asked over the weekend whether or

mr. bolton has had an extensive career serving our nation at the highest levels. he was choof ief of staff and director of office to the omb to president george w. bush. and before that served as general counsel to the u.s. trade reps. so he has a lot of background in this area. our second witness is mr. michael fukes. from the center of american progress, mr. fukes is a senior fellow at focusing on the u.s. foreign policy and u.s. policy to the asia pacific region. mr. fuchs has previously served as deputy assistant secretary of state for the east asian and pacific affairs. we thank you both very much for being here. your patience in waiting. and senator menendez, i don't know if you want to welcome them. go ahead and summarize your comments at about five minutes, any written materials you have will be entered into the record. with that, if you would begin, we would appreciate it. again, thanks for being here. >> thank you, chairman corker. >> mike. >> thank you, chairman corker. senator menendez, other members of the committee, thank you for holding this hearing

mr. bolton when he was in moscow he said the deliverables, that's a u.s. government terminology, right?eliverables of the meeting is the meeting itself. so they're not even pretending that's some concrete foreign policy achievements or goals to achieve. let me be clear. i'm all for diplomacy. even during the cold war we engage with soviet leaders but we did so to advance american national security interests. and i think the president has to begin to think about that and less just about the personal relationships with kim jong-un or vladimir putin. that is not his job as the president of the united states. his job to advance our national interests. not his personal relationships. >> ambassador, let's talk about the precedent. i'm talking about precedent here. you're familiar with how the meetings are conducted. i want to read a killer quote from you in "the new york times" about this summit. trump sees this as a good achievement. what are meetings like this like? what kind of preparation goes in them? we are talking about deliverables, classically washington word. what's laid out of a me

mr. bolton there as you heard. the national security adviser saying he does expect the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo to be talking to north korea very soon. we don't have a timeline on that, though. but certainly the fact that they are talking. the first face-to-face talks since that summit last month has to be significant. but of course the question is how much further are they along to having an exact plan as to how north korea is going to denuclearize and of course how the u.s. is going to conceptualize that? how are they going to insist on checks along the way? u.s. officials have already said that they believe they will be able to tell fairly easily and fairly quickly if pyongyang is not serious about giving up its nuclear weapons. george? >> paula, i'll ask our director if we can pull up these images. the satellite images of north korea that are certainly drawing a good deal of attention. but i'll ask if we're able to show them, paula, just walk us through what's happening here. >> reporter: george, these are images, satellite images from planet labs. they were a

mr. bolton but the record is the president is a lot kinder to kim jong-un who u.s.ligence still working on the nuclear program by the way and vladimir putin than to angela merkel or emmanuel macron. >> the president's world view, all of this nonpartisan agreement in the western order is the problem. and that he has a sort of strange affinity for these strong men across the world for the way they get things done. i listen to sort of his criticism of for instance russia's incursion into crimea on obama's watch and also criticized what happened in syria but it's interesting that he sort of reaches very similar end conclusions from a different perspective. he like president obama would like to see less u.s. involvement in the middle east and just comes from a different perspective. >> fascinating time. up next, a fall of the money question about the russia meddling investigation and presidential aids who need lawyers. ♪ you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia's add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you lea

mr. bolton stated. we really need to understand where nuclear capability is throughout north korea.rstanding based on what the intelligence community provides. also, arms control experts. do not forget international allies as well. we really good lines of discussion with the republic of korea, japan and even china. looking at where the north korean capability is not just for delivery vehicles but also proliferation possibility is one of the big things in terms of discussion and it should be on the agenda when the secretary of state, mike pompeo returns north korea. last week the secretary of defense, james mattis said discussions in china and japan and also korea, discussions about korea continue. we begun a process that will be a really hard process. it will be a long-term process. but at least we have it and we will be able to fill in additional information and then get to a timetable and finally get to the verification part of the agreement that was established in singapore. >> how does this reflect the on that much-anticipated and hyped summit between president trump and kim jon

mr. bolton last weekend, the policy so far is pretty good.s not to recognize crimecrimea, to keep sanctions in place, to support nato. but the president doesn't seem to agree with it. and as he becomes more comfortable in being president, he's going in his own way, against the interests of the administration. and i would say against the interests of the united states of america. >> ambassador michael mcfaul and victor cha, happy fourth of july, and thank you both for your service to this country on this fourth of july. thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> this morning, catch-22 at the u.s. border. the white house's new ultimatum for migrant parents from their children. >>> plus the new push among democrats to get rid of i.c.e. in the movies, a lot of times, i tend to play the tough guy. but i wasn't tough enough to quit on my own. not until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. it reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could stop. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicot

mr. bolton speak these days, to echo what i think jennifer said, you know, who is going to brief him on these things? i worry about that. and here's the other thing i worry about. putin is going to give him a history lesson. i listened to some of those history lessons when i was serving president obama. he's going to explain why crimea was a long part of russia, why these sanctions have been counterproductive, and he's going to tell president trump, you and i, if we just can bond over being great leaders and you can just forget about the past, forget about annexation, forget about that i propped up this horrible dictator in syria, forget about the fact that i intervened in your elections, and we can just move on, that's the history we can make together. and what i fear is president trump, who doesn't know these histories as well, might just nod along and say, yeah, that makes sense to me, let's do that. >> there's a track word. it's already sticking, right? vladimir putin has made some of these points to donald trump and he goes on and echos them in his public pronouncements about russia's mo

mr. bolton is spending the/trump meeting as business as usual but no one agrees.ng as business as usual but known agrees. russian investigation is still being investigated. the optics are bad. the second point, from a policy inndpoint, is what we saw the similar concerns before the meeting with kim jong-un. there is a significant risk from the president's critics vantage point of this could be the same type of situation where potentially the president could get off script. the weekend was extraordinary. with into monday morning percolating hope. who is in control of the present schedule? who is control of beefing him in control of briefing him right now? kevin: he doesn't have traditional workings from a procedural standpoint. hope hicks has remained in close connection with the demonstration. she is named as chief of staff, is someone who will have a relationship with this administration and the trumpet mark -- trump organization as she wants. i add your question directly, would argue that in terms of foreign policy, the secretary of state is still in lockstep wi

mr. bolton.t's from the ambassador moments ago, the white house announcing the president has decided to delay the next meeting with russia's president until 2019 back to you guys >> sue, thank you very much. >> i was going to talk about that >> i mean what do you make of it first of all and should he be coming to washington >> i think that the president is wise to put this off after helsinki there is a hurricane going on in this town and bringing vladimir putin here right now would be a mistake. i think it's good to air out the dirty laundry if there is any on mueller and deal with vladimir putin when it's well time to deal with vladded. >> >> especially as you sa i the russians are training the iranians when it comes to cyber capabilities, ight >> the russians are doing a lot of things we should not like from ukraine to syria, to iran it's not time to make nace-nice with mr. putin quite yet let's wait until the election, start anew next year when we have all the facts >> i will zay sound naive,

mr. bolton saying the trump administration is fully aware of pyongyang's history of renegeing on its promises recent reports that the regime is plotting to expand its nuclear capabilities and not scrap them amid news that a second summit could be in the works, round two of the president sitting down again with dictator kim jong-un could come this september during the annual united nations general assembly meeting here in new york. general jack keane joins us, retired four star general and a fox news senior strategic analyst. you know, general, secretary of state pompeo meeting with the president at this hour in the white house making his third trip to pyongyang and he is taking a list. schedule to declare the weapons. come clean with your production facilities. what are the chances the regime will actually cooperate? >> i don't think we know for sure. i suspect the administration, after a little less than a month since the summit and given the preliminary meeting they had before the summit i think they have some kind of inkling of where kim jong-un truly is. i think it's disappointing that we

that of the meeting was announced immediately after mr bolton's visit to moscow so why did he come here to just give the green light for the some eight or more there are some preliminary agreements which may come to light later in helsinki and it was a lot about the. conversion. this was a very important visit to prepare for the summit we compared notes on the entire scope of issues in our two countries relations identified where we have common ground where it is impossible to have common ground and where we don't have common ground at the moment but we may find some later and while the presidents will talk in helsinki we expect lavrov and pump air to have their own separate talks this will also be an important event of the summit presently me and him. the. western journalists are going on about some possible big bargaining game that could on ravel in helsinki should we be watching out for anything like that at all but does moscow have any bargaining chips for the americans many of. the word bargaining is absolutely inappropriate here instead positions will be compared and they'll be cl

mr. bolton seemed to be implying. but, david's right here. the optics of having a putin summit in washington in the run up to the midterm elections was not going to play well for the president. and you've got this curious situation which you're hearing from both the pentagon and from the state department that increasingly decisions are being made in the national security council with little reference with what is happening to general mattis and secretary pompeo. and the cleanup jobs that are being done by the agencies and there's john bolton who is the one who is actually leading what is happening when it comes to national security at the moment and that's causing quite a lot of concern, especially at places like the pentagon. >> i point out that john bolton called it a true act of war and yesterday called the investigation into a witch-hunt. jeremy, this does follow a pattern. we see the president go out and make a mistake or be casual and light with vladimir putin or another leader with kim jong-un and pompeo or nikki haley that come in aft
