are you saying that we need a new up roach to north -- new approach to north korea? i know to solve this nuclear program problem, china needs to play a more active part. in the toolkitls exhausted? what more specific actions can we take in your opinion. and according to a press statement by the state department, i wonder going forward, what will be the korean government's position on this new approach? i pose this question to foreign minister yun. as itary tillerson: indicated in my remarks, 20 years of talks with north korea have brought us to where we are today. the r.o.k. and the united states have made it very clear that we are interested nothing but a peaceful and economically stable korean peninsula. this 20 years of talking has brought us to the point of where we are today. so the track that we are now going to see is a number of actionsth ever greater ahead of us that involve which the united nations security council has already approved, and in china, which voted for those sanctions, and we are following -- calling on all countries to fully implement those s

we have not seen any good will come from north korea. i appreciate my counterparts wanted to talk about talks and negotiations. we are not dealing with a rational person. if this was any other country, we would be talking about that and it would not be an issue. this is not a rational person who is not thinking clearly. what i can tell you the stance of the united states is that we are reevaluating how we will handle north korea going forward. we are making those decisions now and will act accordingly. i will turn it over to my friend from japan. >> thank you nikki. and thank you for joining us. first of all, i would like would like to thank nikki for her very strong leadership in joining with us to call for this meeting and i appreciate the presidency has called this meeting at an early date soon after the arrival back from an important mission. most of what needs to be said has already been said by nikki and the president, but i would add two things. one is that yes, this is certainly an important matter, a serious serious matter for t

where to go with north korea. what we are going to say is that we see what the response in the -- the response has been to press statements. we see what the response has been to many of the member states having conversations with north korea, asking them to back down. it's an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance we are seeing coming out of kim jong-un at this time. i think the member states recognize that and are sitting back trying to figure out how to move forward. >> ambassador? to clarify what you said about all options are on the table. can you please explain what you think about the option with dialogue, which is what the chinese ambassador has called for? is it now the time for dialogue? or not at all? >> we are not ruling anything out. since these multiple launches, we are reevaluating what u.s.'s approach will be. we are considering every option that's on the table. thank you all very much. >> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable televisi

china's trade with north korea between 80% and 90% of all north korea's trade. north korea has been trying to limit that economic leverage. we have seen in recent years them trying to reach out to of the countries to establish bilateral trade relations and it has been successful as an attempt to minimize that dependence on china. this really goes back to a long-term strategy that they have had. they never fully integrated into any international system, including throughout the cold war, they never integrated into the economic trades or trade for economic assistance. they feared that in doing so, they would become overly on their former communist allies and they would lose their freedom of action to be told what to develop and what not to develop an want to export and not export, and they want to told the timing relations, so they benefited through the network within the communist bloc and establish the hub and spoke economic relations but never fully integrated. receipt continuation of policy today, where they try to establish relations with other countries in a

if north korea threatens u.s. or south korean forces on the peninsula there could be a military option. he also said if they continue to accelerate their nuclear and missile program to an extent that could threaten south korea that the military option would also be on the table. however he didn't say that other steps would be taken first. listen to this. >> the policy of strategic patience has ended. we're exploring a new range of diplomatic security and economic measures. all options are on the table. >> from here secretary tillerson will go on to beijing where he will be calling for china and other countries to fully enforce all sanctions against north korea as one means of trying to rachet down the threat that continues to be raised by north korea. u.s. intelligence officials have seen signs that they believe north korea is preparing for more missile tests and possibly another nuclear test. >> the u.s. needs china to play ball on the sanctions to have any sort of real effect. the north korean news all coming as

the idea that north america, north america and economic integration, nafta, have been harmful for the united states. we feel very strongly they have been positive for the united states. and that there are still more benefits to be had from those relationships with our immediate neighbor. on the screen are quotes from the president's remarks, and a presentation we made right after the election in november where we presented our north america analysis and our north america recommendations. he is committed to the idea that it is a win-win-win and that the relationship -- the economic relationship among our partners has been positive for our country. so in analyzing this problem, we did -- we did two kind of data-driven things and one more policy-driven thing. the first data-driven thing was our competitiveness score card. you can find it on our website, bush center.org/score card. and it is an amalgamation of four databases of economic competitiveness, openness, ease of doing business or freedom. specifically the world economic forums, the world banks, ease of doing business index. the w

generally, tensions are high in north asia regarding north korea's nuclear ambitions.onsider the united states. you understand why the united states said they are not ruling out military action. that said, nothing is working to really just pull them back. rosalind: we have seen talks, sanctions. it seems that there is very little leverage at this point on trying to achieve anything in terms of stopping north korea's .uclear and visions since kim jong-il came to power, there has been a series of missile launches. there have been five tests in total. three of them were under kim jong un. we know that north korea has has claimed to have the capability to reach the united states. defense analysts say -- thattopher hill had said north korea can claim credibility within four years of hitting the united states with a nuclear weapon. so, that is a concern. kim jong un said that north korea was in their last ages of .reparing to test fire and icbm trump tweeted "that will not happen."

north korea is famously secretive and that's the biggest understatement you could make about north korea's the end goal with this nuclear program? >> well, for decades, really, since the 1960s north korea has had a steady quest to have the ability to hit the united states and its allies with nuclear weapons via missiles. it's been a long-growing program, but it seems in the last several years they've made some leaps and bounds in success not only with the icb, m, but wh other missiles which is a submarine ballistic missiles and it invade basis in guam, south korea and japan. >> a lot of people have interpreted these latest actions provocations by north korea as a direct message to the united states, why, in your estimation, is north korea so focused on the united states of america? >> well, they see us as their main op bonent and they've repeatedly declared they'll never abandon their nuclear weapons and the treasure sword of deterrence. when people advocate a nuclear freeze negotiation. we've had eight international agreements with north korea that they failed and violated. so it's -- w

it's estimated there are 11 malaysians in north korea. and up to a thousand north korea. speaking to michael bristow to get his analysis on whether this is legal from either country? it's perhaps not legal but who's to stop north korea? over perhaps not legal but who's to stop north korea ? over the perhaps not legal but who's to stop north korea? over the years it's done things to contravene nuclear sanctions, missile tests and launches, its got away from them. it might not be legal, but it might not matter. north korea wants to put pressure on malaysia, conducting an investigation into the death of the half brother of the north korean leader, who was killed, kuala lumpur airport in the middle of february by airport in the middle of february by a nerve agent wiped on his face by two women. north korea wants pressure on that investigation. it's not happy with how malaysia is doing it. by holding malaysian citizens effectively hostage in north korea, it is putting that pressure on malaysia. what would it like to be different about the investigation? what's the outcome it w

north korea and malaysia intensifies., are two suspects in the killing of the half brother of north korea's leader at kuala lumpur airport. there is widespread suspicion pyongyang was responsible. the two nations have banned each other‘s citizens from leaving their countries. the un has called for calm. the bbc‘s sharanjit leyl is outside the embassy in kuala lumpur gauging reaction in the press and on the streets. ican i can tell you how malaysians are acting and that's furiously. these are the front pages of the newspapers today. as you can see, the star in malaysia, trapped in tom young. this huge amount of interest in the story in malaysia. inside this paper you can see there is one staff member, a councillor in the malaysian embassy in pyongyang, saying, don't worry, we are safe. that's on paper. we've also got the new straits times paper which has on the front cover the prime minister calling a national security council meeting, when he returned from ja ka rta meeting, when he returned from jakarta yesterday. essent

the second notion was north korea. and the tensions on the korean peninsula, he had conversations and meetings with a foreign minister, and he dialback language from the earlier regional visit. he talked about not ruling out a preemptive strike of north korea. you did not hear that language here. he would make every effort to avoid conflict. but he managed to do it seemed is a minor concession from the chinese. he said the chinese would be considering approaching the north koreans to steer them off the path of the nuclear program. the chinese see this as more of a initiative for washington and pyongyang. they want them to have a dialogue. the u.s. say that will not happen until north korea moves away from their nuclear program. that looks unlikely because the program is central to change on -- kim jong-un's self-styled mission statement. you have a coalescing around the idea that china could approach the north koreans. china to take a stronger action and use it economic and trade leverage off the north koreans. then ti
