nic robertson live from seoul with that. nic? >> reporter: good morning. reaction coming from the north korean regime has been positive. it's absolutely glowed, given a lot of coverage to the meeting between president trump and kim jong-un. president trump announcing his satisfaction on, you know, approaching his arrival back to -- to the united states. i'll read you here the tweet that we have from him -- president trump expressed his belief that the summit will improve the u.s.-north korea relations and also said the supreme leader's active and peace-loving measures that were started earlier this year established peace and stability in the korean peninsula. secretary of state mike pompeo when he touches down here very, very shortly expected on thursday here to go into meetings with president moon. also meeting with the foreign minister and with japan's foreign minister. what we hear from officials here about the stopping of those joint military exercises, saying they want to understand better what president trump's accurate intentions are here. they are

good to see you, nic. let's start with the replacement of the top threeary officials by kim jong-un ahead of the june summit. what might this signal, do you think? >> so it's the defense chief. it's the head of the army and the head of the army's political bureau. these obviously very influential positions. the head of the political bureau for the korean people's army is an influential position in and of itself because it is concerned directly with the finances that are connected to the military, that the military has overview on, whic includes a lot of business interests. ver, what doe this mean at the mo? it's notar. as these newer appointees we're being told are kim loyalists and one might reasonably assume that is firming up his power base. but we've known that's been pretty strong for some time, and he's had to reshuffle in the military not so long back as well. i think if we look at, this if we really step back from it, you know, the conclusion that's perhaps the best one to draw is that kim is chang

. >> cnn's international diplomatic editor nic robertson joins me from seoul, south korea. be tough talk but at the same time the president is changing his tone on the meeting calling it a get to know you session, he no longer wants to say the phrase maximum pressure campaign. is he edging toward a water-downed deal here? >> that is certainly what some of his allies in the region japan in particular are concerned about. secretary mattis on sunday had a one on one bilateral meeting with japan's defense minister, and it was japan's defense minister on saturday who said what essentially what does president trump mean by not using this term extreme measures, what does he mean in terms of sanctions and it also said that the united states shouldn't sit down at the table with kim jong-un unless the north korean leader is putting more on the table in terms of his comprehensive complete irreversible verification of denuclearization. so united states allies in this case japan are precisely concerned about that. they see the historic parallels, where other american presidents have gon

nic robertson is on the ground in seoul. nic, the secretary spoke to reporters on his way to seoul.hat is your biggest takeaway from what he had to say? >> reporter: the idea of denuclearization will take 2 1/2 years. he hopes it will happen, and you you have to high light that, hopes it will happen. he pushed back strongly on the of complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization, the only word in thatocument they signed was the word complete. mike pompe in that word understood that the word "complete" meant irreversible and verifiable. he called it insulting that people would take it any other way. i think those are the two -- have to be the two takeaways there. certainly the message he will be delivering to the south korean president tomorrow is a detail about that stopping, president trump said, of the joint military exercises. s clarification on that, those will be halted as long as north korea is engaged in good faith negotiations. so i think that's an important message that he will have to deliver here. but the message for the citizens of the united states and the rest of

nic robertson on the news. let's get analysis now on president trump's declaration he'll stop war games in south korea. right now secretary of state mike pompeo is there in seoul hammering out t details on how ending the drills would even work. he also said full engagement with north korea will begin sometime next week. but did president trump get the idea about ending joint military drills from russian president vladimir putin? ier this year "the wall street journal" suggested that earlier this year putin is the one who suggested trump do this with nuclear tests. ambassador bachus, welcome back. >> thank you. >> before we get into was putin who gave him the idea, i got to ask you about the news that nic robertson just reported telling his peoe that the the il u.s. is going to lift those negotiations during negotiations but trump has said that won't happen until the nukes go away. >> this is the danger of about 17 minutes of conversation private between the two leaders. we don't know what was said. we read the

nic robertson joins us from seoul. nic, clearly kim jong-un gits t -- gets the imagery of a summit. so little is known about him, can he be trusted on the substance? >> his father couldn't be. his grandfather couldn't be. it's all going to come down to the leverage. you have to look at his positioning of himself this evening with this walk-about. he's certainly going into this meeting tomorrow, hugely important meeting, giving off an air of confidence. and i guess if you really want to be macchavalian about him, the timing of walking on the streets is not only a message of "i can do this" but it doesn't leave a space of time for president trump to come out and do something lar,n if the security service were to allow thed states president to walk on the streets the same as kim jong-un. he kind of scored something of a plus there. it's going to be hard for him to have pictures of him sort of in a terribly ostentatious environment paraded before his home domestic audience who are getting abnormally a sort of almost tick-tock account of what he's doing and how the meetings are going so

let's go to our nic robertson live in seoul.'s safe to say that south korea is surprised as the rest of us. >> surprised but i think we may be surprised as well by their answer. i mean, let's frame this up for everyone. these military, joint military exercises, are a huge part of what give the south korean population the feeling and the governments the knowledge that if there is a military threat that's immediate from the north that they are ready to match it. the troops are ready to fight tonight. so they're on a hair trigger. training is hugely important. training on that kind of scale is something that's been done for a long time and builds that confidence. however, what we're hearing from the blue house, the president's office this evening in a statement, is this, let me read it to you -- he says, at this moment we need to figure out president trump's accurate meaning and intention of that statement that we heard. however, we believe we need to seek various measures to efficiently move forward the dialogue during these serio

what can you tell us, nic? >> you know, i think the best we can get is from the president, he said himself, you know, just yesterday when he was asked if he'd read the letter while giving a big explanation about his thinking and saying the summit was back on again, admitted that he hadn't read it. he said that kim yong chol, the north korean former spy chief, was just going to drop by the white house to hand over this letter and then stay for two hours of talks, so right now this oversized envelope that has all the look of a card, a birthday card perhaps from colleagues to a friend at work by the size of it, because perhaps so many people signed it. i mean, we just don't know what's in there. but it does seem on the face of it now to be a golden ticket for the former spy chief to get into the oval office to talk to president trump for two hours. i think at the moment, absent of that letter being published, we really don't know what was in it. what we've heard from president trump can only lead us to believe the

we have nic robertson live for us. good morning, nic. >> reporter: good morning, dave.ssue that faces the south korean leadership and president moon is what we heard from president trump from his statements there. that they are ending, the united states, decided to end the joint military exercises. remembering the forces here in south korea, u.s. forces, are on a ready to fight tonight footing. that means training and level of preparedness is important. the same for the south korean forces here. this is something that perhaps could potentially lead to more sleepless nights for president moon. secretary of state mike pompeo did call the foreign minister here in south korea shortly after president trump made that is signature with kim jong-un. the brief conversation between the two on the phone went well. south korean foreign minister thanking the secretary of state for informing them and coratulating them on a successful summit. a key line here in the area that they agree they would work together to have closer cooperation and we don't know yet whether this announcement

we're hearing from nic robertson in seoul, south korea. what are you hearing about that, nic?at we're hearing is that this is unprecedented that president moon had two phone calls now in two consecutive days from president trump. they're com on that. what we know president moon said to president trump is that he believes the summit has been a good foundation for peace not just on the korean peninsula, but for the whole world. a moon spokesman said he bonded well with kim jong-un, the north korean leader, so he was giving feedback on how president trump thought the whole thing had gone. what we're hearing from the south koreaide is they want the united states to move swiftly to try to implement this agreement, also saying they want to sort of have closer, more ongoing coordination with the united states over how this develops. we're hearing also from the chinese as well who clearly are trying to sort of perhaps wind themselves back from the position of helng president trump put tough sanctions on north korea. they're hinting that perhaps as north korea goes down into the past,

i want to get t nic robertson who joins us from seoul. today after the summit. what do we know about that conversation and south korea's reaction to what emerged here? >> reporter: the issue of not -- president trump saying that it's going to end the big joint military exercises has been a curious day in a way for president moon here. he began by telling everyone here that he had a sleepless night, an indication that he was -- he did have concerns going into this very important summit. he's been praising president trump through the day just after president trump made that signing with kim jong-un, mike pompeo, secretary of state, called the foreign minster here and the nugget in that phone call was, the south korean foreign minster said we would like to have closer cooperation in the future. then after that, that's when president trump made that statement about ending the joint military exercises and the blue house here, the president's office then issued a statement saying, we need to kind of figure out precisely what president trump mea

nic what have you heard?rse these joint military exercises are what gives the government the knowledge that it can respond to aggression from north korea, it's what gives the people of south korea the sense of security that they've got a ready military force that's battle ready, ready to fight tonight. that's the motto they stand by. so what we heard from the blue house the president's office this evening, gives us a little insight into what the president here is thinking about thi issue of suspending or stopping entirely those military exercises. i'll read it to you. it says this. at this moment we need to figure out president trump's accurate meaning and intention of that statement. goes on, however, we believe we need to seek various measures, how to efficiently move forward to the dialogues during serious talks are being conducted to denuclearize the korean peninsula and to establish relations between north korea and the united states. i think what we're hearing from the blue house here is that they want

nic robertson joins us with more. what can you tell us? >> yeah. poppy, this is where the hard work begins. you would have expected ahead of a summit that this kind of level of detail with allies explaining what you're thinking and what you're planning to do and what your strategy is, and this woul and secretary of state mike pompeo arrived here a few hours ago and met with general vincent brooks who is a commander of u.s. forces in south korea, and undoubtedly the opportunity to share enlightenment about the picture and military training exercises, the u.s. forces deal with south korean forces and hugely important for the preparedness and the level of readiness and they need to be ready to fight tonight is what they -- is the level that they're at because of the potential, immediate threat from north korea. so tomorrow fortary po the tougher meetings, meeting with president moon jae-in of south korea. after that, he's expected to meet with south korean foreign minister and japan's foreign minister, as well because not forgetting japan has a stake

cnn's nic robertson is in seoul. do you get the sense that south korea was surprised by this announcement about the war games? >> reporter: sure. that very much the case. and what we have been hearing from the foreign minister and from the president here they want to be more involved in the decisions the united states are taking and war games and joint military exercises they like to call them is something that both sides agree on mutually. i think wher seeing a little backtracking and painstaking effort to get, you know, to get the messaging on this right. it's not clear yet if president trump has made the phone call to kim jong-un in north korea. it's about 8:15 in the evening in pyongyang so i guess a couple of more hours he could still make that call. from a south korean perspective, they believe this is a great -- sta great opportunity for -- for kim jong-un and president trump to sort out any personal issues that come up. that was par of the message is south korea got out of the summit and subsequently from pre

nic robertson, keep us posted. thank you. >>> right now on the other side of the border, north korea the north korean people are seeing some extraordinary things when it comes to how the state media there is covering the historic summit, what is left in and what is left out. our will ripley has more. >> reporter: poppy, the images of the trump/kim summit in singapore were being instantly arounded the world except for the one place where it matters most in north korea where they had to wait almost 24 hours where they saw these pictures of their kim jong-un and president trump standing side by side smiling and shaking hands, patting each other on the pat in front of a row of american and north korean flags. these wereurreges for the world and extraordinary images for the people of north korea who had never in their lives seen anything like this and it was all over the state's leading newspaper, it was over the television as well with their lead news reader, it was broadcasting what the north koreans consider a win. t

today's top stories and your world cup updates for now and that's all for me as well but my colleague nic here and will be here at the top the hour as always thanks for tuning in. with hope to. put themselves on the line. they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to do it for us that's what. reasonable people are. interested. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent at the first check in and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. mediterranea abkhaz he should really go to one of the four something be in luck because a lot of on the bus ri

rest of the beltway is nic clear and nice and dry at this point this morning. as chuck said, we could see some rain later on today on the roadways.ct dist northbound 23rd between i and washington circled brokn tractor-trailers. gaithersburg southbound he270, ramp to westbound 370. ramp blocked by the paving there. >>> this morning, formernaacp leader ben jealous is thecr deic nominee for governor in maryland. he beat rushern baker by nearly 60,000 votesit along some other candidates in maryland. >> he now hes to unseat governor larry hogan. that could be an uphill battle. voters favor hogan over jealous 51% to 39%. moving down the ticket, the results to some races cou be delayed for at least a week, and that's because of a computet glitch t impacted voter registration information for 80,000 people. >> the voters had to usel provisioallots which won't be counted until july 5th. the raceorontgomery county executive could come down to those ballots. this is too close to call. david blaire and marc elrich is delayed. it's tied at 29%. he says he'll pull out a win.

nic, thank you so much.ng me korea affairs chris cillizza.ditor-at-large bruce, what do you think of mike pompeo, what nic robertson is reporting from mike pompeo that they want to take major steps toward nuclear disarmament in the next two years. >> certainly, we want north korea to fulfill not only its recent pledge in the singapore communique, but also what required to do under the u.n. resolutions which is to abandon its nuclear missile and chemical and warfare programs in a complete, verifiable, irreversible manner. we are hoping that the recent negotiations will lead to that. on the military exercises, north korea has long been calling for the u.s. and south korea to abandon those in some cases as part of a freeze for freeze re they freeze the nuke and missile test in return for us stopping our exercises. the u.s. has correctly rejected that initiative or proposal from the north in the past because any kind of pause could lead to a degradation for defense capabilities. that seems to be the route that t

president trump said, joe crowleyly should have been nic to, quote, his president. i think the intent of the primaries may have been a ltle on them. but is this something the democrats should be worried about? >> i mean, i think what we learned last night is thathe t divides from the 2016em presidentiocratic primaries still exist today. that not a surprise. we've seen that throughout the countryn multiple primaries. either way, it's way too early to tell if there will be a massive wavee olur a massive red wave. there is history will tell us that should be onemocratics side. democratic has a unified enemy in the president, donald trum the same way that republicans had that asset going no mid terms while president obama was office. so i don't think what we sawst night was necessarily indicative of november results, but it does show that there are divides inhe democratic party that haven't been all that car through the primaries >> what t dohe to democrats need to doid prest trump beat 16 republicans, hse unwanven tiona. he -- the truth didn't matter, certain other fac

nic robertson is live in seoul with more on that. nic? >> reporter: yeah, good morning. this is kind of where the hard work begins. yes, it was hard work to get that big summit but the actual hard work that's often done before summits which is the details, while secretary of state mike pompeo now that ball firmly in his court. he met as he got off the base in the air base in south korea with general vincent brooks who's the commander of u.s. forces in korea, so perhaps a chance to brief him on some of the president's comments, but the real tough talk perhaps coming tomorrow when he meets the south korean president, south korean foreign minster, japanese foreign minster because what we're hearing from here is they really want to understand better what president trump meant and what were his implications and his ideas when he said that he was ending these joint military exercises, hugely important for south korean security and military readiness, so perhaps detail being put on the bones. north of the border, north korea, the media there in their newspapers and on televisio
