for north korea, the burden for the north korea. so they need each other. that's why, you know, china, you know, does not seem to us china does not cooperate enough, you know, in the implementing the u.n. sanctions, because the chinese prefer the status quo of north korea to regiment collapse because it will destabilize the northeastern, you know, asia. and north korea also, you know, has some reservation about china, because china is not fully cooperating with north korea, either, but still those are some policy limitations, so they are moving, you know, between these two, and so maybe they try to maximize their own strategy benefit, soing right now it's difficult to distinguish completely from -- the chinese benefit from the north korean one. >> thanks. sue. >> in terms of chemical weapons or biological weapons they do -- north korea definitely have the row best chemical and biological weapons. there's not enough attention paid toilet. i think we need to in addition to nuclear missile program. they cooperate with nations like syri

how to deal with north korea.e will talk about the best options for doing with north korea how are you this morning. and divingake a look article, refresh our viewers about this history of the crisis in north korea. guest: korea was divided after world war ii in the early 1950's. north korea invaded the south and the united states intervened and fought a war to push them back across the demilitarized zone and the standoff has continued ever since with the dynasty founded by kim hill song creating anng arsenal of artillery, a huge military, nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons. they have never really accepted the korean war is over. andsouth korean government the country of south korea has proper and become one of the most successful economies of the world while north korea remains ,his very totalitarian impoverished state, with the exception of its military power. as he gets closer to the point that is being able to put a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile, they pose a greater threat. host: you open

can't get out of north korea. >> you can't get out of north korea. >>, but they also want north korea to serve as a buffer between south korea and the united states as well, so, i mean there is interest there with china. eric: guys, hold on. i want to bring this to gina. about a minute left. you can take this home. if i'm wrong and we don't need to do a preemptive strike, how in the world-- what are the sanctions we need to get in place and how are we going to get them in place and by whom? >> well, i think that president trump has taken some great steps in that direction. first of all, demonstrating that he was willing, of course, to speak with china and to have a sort of different relationship with china than president obama had ever had and then president trump's tweets about this, saying kind of, hey, you know, we had this conversation. you know, china, we need you to be tougher. i think that critically are the steps that the president took just this week or last week with cuba. i mean, cutting off-- cuba being one of the biggest trading partners with north korea. this is the begi

the north, grim and dark.is north korea, and it is absolutely dark. >> there's no other country that's like north korea that's left in the world. in fact, i would say the whole country is a slave state. we have 25 million people who are imprisoned. >> reporter: this man knows all about the enslavement of the north, and the kind of ordeal otto warmbier may hav faced. he's american kenneth bae, now living in seoul, after spending over two years imprisoned in the north. bae was leading a tour of north korea in 2014 when he ran into trouble with the authorities -- accused of supposed hostile acts against the regime. just like otto, bae was sentenced to 15 years hard labor. >> i was devastated to find out what happened to otto. i just cannot imagine what he was going through at the time, knowing that he's actually going to prison in north cree yard for 15 years. >> reporter: kenneth bae and otto warmbier had been caught up in the capricious, brutal world of north korean justice. infractions as minor as not showing

for example, maybe we can start dialogue with north korea, when north korea promises to stop its nuclear and missile rovocations. or another example could be when north korea releases the three american citizens that it is currently detaining. maybe that could be a start, the ight condition for dialogue. but i believe that at this very moment, we cannot say for clear what the exact right condition would be. we would have to continue to keep an eye on the political situation and korea and the united states will closely coordinate and communicate to each a decision. and on that point, president trump and i have an agreement. and, again, regarding the question of what -- under what right condition can we have dialogue with north korea, i would like to ask all of you here today, all the bright minds here today, to also pitch in your wisdom. o we can find an answer. if the beginning or entrance to dialogue with north korea is a freeze of north korea's nuclear and missile tests, then i believe the exit, the eventual goal would be the complete dismantlement of north korea's nuclear program. and

the north korea missile threat. we'll begin that in ten minutes and you have a chance to take a quick break. please find seats up front and we're briefly adjourned until 10:40. >>> c-span where history unfolds daily. thanchts same vent also included a discussion on north korea and threats posed by the country's nuclear development program. this is an hour. >> okay. we're going to get started. thank you all for sticking around for our second panel. i'm sure it comes as no surprise that we would be discussing north korea today given the increase the tensions on the korean peninsula and the north korean policy review that president trump has just completed. so for north korea watchers, 2017 has certainly been an interesting year. president trump decided to review policy towards north korea shortly after his inauguration. and he came back with a policy that emphasizes maximum pressure and engagement. but there has been some mixed signals on what exactly the united states might be looking for from north korea before ente

unfortunately one of them is north korea getting tougher on north korea, iran would be the other. it's certainly worth trying. you know, i also think congress is part of the problem when we look at this because in the case of iran, specially republicans, of course, this would lead, if i was a north korean considering engaging the u.s. entering discussions into the agreement, interim agreement and so forth, i would really question whether or not the united states is prepared to fulfill that agreement given the issues that are being placed against and, yes, we should always engage dmong these discussions, but at the same time we also have to be cautious about them playing the role to have spoiler as well. when you look at the recent hearings on the hill, there was one hearing recently where among dozen or more senators who spoke, there was only one that mentioned the word diplomatic engagement which shocked me. >> i would urge some caution, is what i would be afraid of is the more hawkish people in the congress opposing any attempt to maybe work out a new nuclear freeze as a first s

on north korea, congressman introduced north korea travel bans, do you have any kind of -- for the north korean travel ban act. >> i have no comments on that today, although i will say we will continue to look at a range of options as we are very serious about them stopping their activity. >> how do you quantity fie the financial activity you're trying to stop today and the access, direct and indirect, this particular bank had the u.s. financial markets? >> this is very significant since this is the first bank that we've cut off under this. and that we will continue to look at these actions and continue to roll out sanctions. as i said in this case it's millions of dollars, but we are committed to cutting off all illegal funds -- this bank will not be able to access the u.s. financial system either directly or indirectly. so it's a very significant action. >> secretary, you made clear this was not a punishment against china, but obviously the white house wants to be putting pressure on beijing to take action against north korea. are you satisfied that china will see it that way? and with

president moon pledging to stand with the united states to put pressure on north korea to stop north korea's nuclear threat. among the headlines we just heard, president trump said the relationship between the two is the cornerstone of peace and security in that dangerous part of the world. he referred to north korea as a menace, saying the regime there was both brutal and reckless and said it had no respect for human

-north korea relations.terday, president trump's tweeted that china's effort to help out with north korea is not -- has not worked out. joining me from washington, david singer national security , correspondent from "the new york times." and from florida, a former ambassador to south korea and currently the dean of international studies at the university of denver. i'm pleased to have both of them. let me begin with this. what has this done, in a serious, real way to the ongoing , relationship or lack of relationship and the tension between north korea and the united states? and do we expect the united states because of the depth of this young man to take measures , that it had not been prepared to do before? chris? >> i'm not sure this horrible incident is going to affect the overall lack of a u.s.-north korean relationship. the lack of that relationship is caused by north korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons. they've shown zero interest in negotiations. they've shown zero interest in any serious discussion a

unfortunately i think one of them is north korea getting tougher on north korea. i think everyone would be the other. but it's certainly worth trying. i also think congress is part of the problem when we look at this. because in the case of iran you see congress, especially the republican side, trying to actively undermine the jcpoa. and, of course, this would lead, if i were the north koreans considering engaging the u.s. entering into discussions on agreement, an interim agreement and so forth, i would really question whether not the united states is prepared to fulfill that agreement, given the issues that are being placed against the jcpoa pics so yes, of course, we should always engage congress in these discussions but at the same time we also have to be cautious about them playing a role as spoiled as well. .. >> i said one thing and that is i do think congress should be involved and cooperative if you will. you want but i would urge some caution is what i would be afraid of is especially the more hawkish people in congress, opposing any attempt to maybe wor

north korea relationship. so even if they had returned otto warmbrer's, this isn't going to lead to improvement. there's a sense in the trump administration there's just nothing that can be done with north korea. i think you'll see them doubling down really on china notwithstanding the president's tweet. >> rose: david. >> i think they'll double down. i read the tweet differently than chris did. i read it that the president who had said to me in an interview last year he thought the chinese have complete control over the north koreans is now coming to the conclusion that every one of his predecessors came to which was the chinese control may not be complete and that even if it was, they are unwilling to use it because they don't want to destabilize north korea and have a collapse with north korea on their border and perhaps absorbed by the south. the one tragedy and it's a huge tragedy as more to the emotional impact here. remember when the president decided two months ago to bomb syria, even if he did it only

today there are many korean nationals and american citizens detained in north korea the i also urge northorea to return these people to their families. >> senator john mccain has the said that, otto warmbier was murdered. by the kim jong-un, regime. do you believe the north koreans should be held responsible for his death? >> yes. this had happened while mr. warmbier was in the detention of north korean authorities. we cannot know for sure north korea killed mr. warmbier, but i believe it is quite clear that they have a heavy responsibility in the process that led to mr. warmbier's death. >> how does this -- affect your efforts to restart the dialogue with north korea? >> i believe me must now have the perception that north korea is an irrational regime. working with such a country we must achieve the goal of the complete dismantlement of north korea's nuclear program. >> how do you sit knee to knee as you promised with an irrational leader and negotiate. >> iieve tha dialogue is necessary. we were unable to resolve the north korean nuclear issue through only the sanctions and pressure. >

he spent a year and a half in north korea.bad things happened but at least we got him home to be with his parents where they were so happy to see him even though he was in very tough condition, but he just passed away a little while ago. it's a brutal regime and we'll be able to handle it. in a written statement, the president added that his administration was determined "to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency." peter bowes, bbc news. our correspondent steve evans in seoul has been following this story. north korea says that he fell into a coma shortly after his trial more than a year ago. there's no evidence that's so. we simply don't know. there are things which don't add up in the north korean view of events. for example, they are saying that mr warmbier had tried to overthrow the state. well, the initial charge against him was not that — it was that he'd simply engaged in a student prank, really — i mean, that is the best w

second of all, the unpredictable nature of north korean strategy makes it very hard to deal with north korea in terms of, like, i think that even if there are military options that could achieve certain us objectives when it comes to north korea, we just don't know how north korea would respond against some sort of armed action by the united states. so that's--the unpredictable of the regime makes it very challenging. jacqueline: you've said you were surprised by the death of otto warmbier, tell me why. benjamin: yeah, well, so, with previous cases of us prisoners in north korea, they've generally been treated relatively well. and i say, "relatively well," not to diminish the trials that previous prisoners have gone through, but just, north korean prisons for north koreans are terrible places, obviously, and they have labor camps where living conditions are really subhuman, so-- but when it comes to foreign prisoners, and especially to american prisoners, they've wanted to potentially use them in negotiations with the united states. so they've really been assets to north korea. so that

the north korean nuclear issue must be resolved without fail. north korea should by no means underestimate the firm commitment of korea and the u.s. in this regard. i also urge pyongyang to promptly return to the negotiating table for denuclearization of the korean peninsula. national security leaves no room for either compromise or concession. on this occasion, the u.s. and president trump's firm resolve is noted. with great appreciation. the republic of korea will strive to strengthen u.s. capabilities, while building up its own capacity to defend tself. as we undertake these endeavors, bilateral cooperation and defense technologies will gather further traction. economic partnership between our countries forms an essential pillar for future oriented development of the alliance. we've both agreed on this. economic growth and job creation are promoted to ensure our peoples enjoy greater mutual benefits through the collective efforts we committed to make. third, as we fight against terrorism and other global challenges together, the alliance, as

the north koreans did not tell anyone, they did not tell the swedes that represent us in north korea,y north korea for not disclosing and then making an excuse that it was optimism and a sleeping pill that caused this,. it could have been torture, it could've been mistreatment of the worst kind. this is why the american people today are outraged about what happened. and the american government as well. what prospect is there realistically of getting to the truth of what happened to him? the prospect is limited, i hope is the united nations human rights commission or somebody undertakes an investigation. but the north koreans are such a closed society, they probably will not allow it. the north koreans were smart and tried to recover from this north koreans were smart and tried to recoverfrom this huge public relations blow they should release the three americans that are now detained, the one canadian bettors detained, the one canadian bettors detained and they should fully disclose what happened to otto warmbier, tell the truth. but i would not hold much hope. but i think the relatio

first the most immediate north korea. the secretary jim mattis said recently in testimony to congress, north korea is the most urgent and dangerous threat to peace and security we face. this year alone north korea has been test firing two or three short and medium-range missiles. month. they are working on submarine launch missile technology as well. everyone agrees it's only a matter of time before the north koreans can flight test and intercontinental missile capable of hitting not just hawaii or alaska but the united states mainland. that's why obama warned trump that north korea was the most urgent crisis he might face. i hasten to add that even if north korea struggles to miniaturize nuclear technology, their attack in kuala lumpur airport reminded everyone that they have vast storage of chemical weapons that can be delivered by missile technology. one must also worry about the command and control systems, they are developing, for instance road mobile and potentially launch missiles. one must wonder whether the comma

and china is actually aligned when it comes to north korea, and i think also the north koreans need to realize that maybe their only way out of this is to engage with the south koreans. we know the south korean president is willing to have talks with north korea. i think this may be an opportunity for the north koreans to realize that they can potentially save face this way, but i think the president has made it very clear that all options are on the table. we see the response in syria after the chemical weapons attack saying if you did this again in syria, we will respond. i think the president and his team has proven they're willing to act. >> we heard the phrase burden sharing from president trump in his remarks with the visiting south korean president today. it seems like a bit of a jab at a key u.s. ally. what do you think south korea should be doing to halt a threat from north korea? >> well, i haven't seen -- just seen a readout of those remarks, and i wouldn't say that burden sharing is a jab at anyone. i think this is a shared problem. north korea is a shared problem between u

the north koreans, when did we find out otto was going to north korea? the north korea lure americans to travel to north korea via tour groups run out of china, who advertise slick ads on the internet proclaiming no american ever gets detained off of our tours, and this is a safe place to go. so otto is a young thrill-seeking, great kid who was going to be in that part of the world for a college experience, and said hey, i've heard some friends who have done this, i would like to do this. so we agreed to let him do that. they lure americans and then they take them hostage, and then they do things to them, and that's what happened to my son. he was taken hostage at the airport, as he was trying to leave the country, and then he was put through the trial which we've all seen. he performed amazingly well, and here we are today. >> yes, sir? >> daniel. you may not want to comment on this but do you see wider benefits in curbing the excesses of this regime in keeping what you see is as a tough approach to north korea? >> i don't see a tough approach to north
