pompeo: yes. but as we begin to head down this path, i have to tell you, i've had discussions with chairman kim personally, there have been other discussions. i am going to reserve some space for us to be able to conduct these discussions outside of the public sphere. i think that's important. i think it's important for our eventual ability to achieve the outcomes that i think everyone in this room hopes we can achieve. mr. menendez: i certainly want to give you negotiating space but i at least want to understand, as a committee responsible for oversight, what is our standards that we're going into? that's what i'm trying to determine. what's the standard? mr. pompeo: i think we've made very clear what our objectives are. mr. menendez: let me ask you further, would a deal have to include an agreement that north korea must permanently dismantle and disable its nuclear weapons infrastructure, including test sites, nuclear weapons research and development facilities, particularly with respect to adva

secretary pompeo, glad to have you here. secretary pompeo: good evening everyone. it has been one month since i have been here. i made a handful of commitments at the beginning, not the least of which i would put the team back on the field. we have taken significant steps to date begin working towards that direction. there remains a great deal of work to do, but you should know i am committed to that we have. listed -- to that. we have lifted the hiring freeze. substantial progress in some of our senior level processes so that we get our ambassadors working the building. nothing to report just yet. as i committed when i gave testimony at my confirmation hearing, we are going to work on this diligently. one of my highest priorities to make sure we have the right people in the right places everywhere in the world to we can accomplish our diplomatic mission. i hope in the coming week or two to have significant announcements about the new senior leaders. in bilateral meetings with the south koreans. they were constructive. i think sanders has given a press conference a

but what does pompeo need to do to turn things up? >> i think mike pompeo is off to a solid start. that was a big message yesterday you showed. he committed to rebuilding the department, honoring the nonpartisan work of the foreign and civil service. these are career people, not political. to fill the vacancies you showed in the leadup, the extraordinary vacancies we've had over the last year and he's shown he has a relationship with president trump of trust. you need that. our modern secretaries of state can't be powerful or effective if they don't have the ear and confidence of the president. i was encouraged by yesterday. director pompeo has been calling around to former diplomats, to currently serving diplomats. he's talked to every living secretary of state. he's done his homework. i think the rank and file of the state department are looking forward to a restoration of the power and purpose of what they do. >> even if it's for show, reaching out to every former living secretary of state is a very big deal, especially given what they came from with rex tillerson. bobby, let's

pompeo: thank you. thank you. thank you. thanks for those most gracious words, john and thank you for your service in standing in the gap. you have done a remarkable job and the whole team has. i have had a chance to work alongside you as the cia director when you are the acting secretary and you have done this organization incredibly proud. america should be proud of you and thank you for this amazing work. [applause] sec. pompeo: so i think i have the record for the longest trip to the first day of work. [laughter] sec. pompeo: i am humbled to be here. i tried to prepare myself for this moment but to stand here and look at the most important diplomatic corps in the world is enormously humbling to me. i talked in my hearing about the fact this nation is so exceptional and so incredibly blessed and the facts that derive from that is that it also creates a responsibility, a duty for america all across the world. i know for certain that america cannot execute that duty, cannot achieve its objectives absen

pompeo: no. i didn't get a chance to fully espond to senator menendez's statement that he views the united states as having made the decision to withdraw from the summit. i have a fundamentally different view of how it came to the that we can't have a meeting between our two leaders n june 12. >> i would like to emphasize, it was your sense as we were moving along that you can tell when something is coming together and the logistics are being worked out. it was your sense that that was diminishing, correct? sec. pompeo: we had a lot of doubts. >> so obviously there wasn't a lot of momentum prior to some of the things that have happened over the last 48 hours. if i could, i know you said to senator menendez or maybe senator cardin that you understood where he was coming from on a sunset. as i understand it, there were hree things the administration had put forth, that a new aumf must not sunset, must not be geographically constrained, and must be enacted before the repeal of the 2001 or 2002 umf.

pompeo: thank you. i look forward to meeting just as many of you as i get a chance to do, to learn from as many of you as i can, and leading the team into the field. i know we will deliver for this president and for this country. thank you and may the good lord bless you and i will see you all around the building, thanks.

pompeo: that would be useful. [laughter] >> the demands that you laid out for iran yesterday, partially because you laid them all out, and partially because of what they are, there will not be much room for negotiation, if any. do you agree with that? because of the way that was put out there, what makes you think iran will be willing to work with the u.s. on this? if it is sanctions, wouldn't it take a very long time at this point? sec. pompeo: i do not know which of those demands? should we allow them to be terrorists? is that one we should compromise on? how many missiles are they allowed to fire? the benchmark i set forward yesterday is a low standard. it is a standard of behavior we accept from countries around the world. there is not a special set of rules for iran, we simply ask them to behave the way normal non-belligerent nations behave. it is simple. is not a special category of people who are permitted to fire missiles into riyadh. just ask them to behave like a normal nation. i have every reason to thi

we hope that moves through just like pompeo did. >> jon: he's going, mike pompeo is, from one of the smaller agencies, the cia, 6,000 employees to the sprawling state department. is he up to the task? >> absolutely. that's why you saw a lot of bipartisan support for him. this man has been in washington d.c. for a long time. being at the cia, as the highest levels of security in the world. someone that can -- knows how to protect this nation and knowing how to deal with so many other people. you get a good mix of that in congress. his reputation is stellar. he's outstanding, this is a historic day. not just for the trump administration but for the american people. this is someone that will do a great job and work to bring about historic deals where no deals could have ever been done in the past. this man will be the forefront of making those happen. what the president wants, he can help implement that. that's what we need at this time in the world. >> jon: talking about deals. he made the secret trip to north korea. he met with kim jong-un when he was still the nominee. did that help

i believe it is secretary pompeo's.ies will not be greeting these three men as they step off the plane. we expect that to happen later in the morning. listen, for the president and white house, this is nothing but a victory. this is a concrete sign in their view of good will from the north koreans ahead of the summit we expect to happen weeks from now. the south korean president will be joining president trump to lay the ground work and after that we expect this trump/kim summit to happen. what is the location, the president named about the dmz and singapore and ruled one out. so all signs point to singapore for this conversation. here, this is an historic moment. no other way to put it as the detainees are getting ready to get off of the plane and we follow every moment of tfrm. >> his meeting with kim jong-un he asked for six detainees to be released and they were not and pompeo and the president were able to secure the release of these three. we should talk about some of the names we are going to be seeing walking of

secretary pompeo said the u.s. is completed to a complete verifiable, irreversible denuclearization. in addition to talks taking place in new york city today there were also talks between north korea and the u.s. taking place overseas in singapore where a presumed summit would take place. two delegations there discussed the issue of logistics as well as security. and in the demilitarized zones representatives from the u.s. and the north korea also met. they were trying to come up with an agenda for a meeting as well as some type of declaration if in fact the two sides have a successful summit. but the bottom line here is all eyes were really on the events unfolding in new york city. senior state department official described the two officials meeting here as the top dogs and saying that what they would decide would ultimately really determine if in fact a summit is going to take place. we expect to learn a great deal more in about one hour's time when the secretary of state calls a briefing here in midtown manhatta

>> sean: i have known mike pompeo a long time. i am very proud of what he did. i'm very proud of what the president did here. daniel hoffman, i think you really have been telling people, manager expectations. i know we are talking about something that's massive. that would be the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. so important. but also we never thought a year ago that kim jong un would cross the dmz into the arms of the president of south korea. we never thought he would agree to have such talks. we know longer see missiles flying over japan, guam threatened, or talks about firing missiles that could reach new york and boston. yes, we should manage our expectations, trust and verify. peace through strength. but it's certainly far more hope than we pattern a long time. >> right, and this was a very tangible and positive result of this administration's foreign policy, sean. while we celebrate this diplomatic and humanitarian success, we need to remember as well that there are reportedly about 152 mac 200,000 political prison

mike pompeo is now on the ground, as you saw that plane taxiing there. boris, to pick up on what you were saying -- no let's stay with these pictures. >> what is interesting is the journey these men have taken. they started out in pyongyang where they boarded pompeo's plane out of north korea. they then transfer in japan to a boeing c-40 outfitted with medical facilities for the trip back to the united states. there was a fueling stop earlier in alaska to joint base andrews, and there we visit right now. and on this flight, we're being told that these three men were sequestered away, and they're with a psychiatrist for the trip as well. >> yeah, they sat in the middle of the plane and are curtained off is our understanding because they have been through a great deal. there is no doubt about that. but the ordeal sat an end and they are shortly to be reunited with their loved ones. >> jeff zeleny, to you, it's 2:26 in the morning. the president is there. he knows this is a feel-good moment. and there is some reporting out there that maybe donald trump beli

that's why secretary pompeo's coming is important now. he's going to embody what really has changed. we are not retrieving hostages from a regime that will continue to be at war with us or a confrontation. we are retrieving them from a regime that we hope is going to change its course. >> i understand that the plane carrying the three freed americans is expected to land 30 minutes from now. that would give the president, vice president, a chance to relax, talk, debrief the secretary of state. what i find remarkable among other things is the fact that mike pompeo as leland so rightly noted hasn't slept since he was confirmed as secretary of state. nobody is complaining. you sign up for these things. nobody is forcing you to do the job and he has jumped right in. but compared to rex tillerson when it did not seem like he was on the same page, it didn't seem like this president trusted rex tillerson. they didn't have that level of trust to send him on such a delicate mission. this is the second time, the first was around easter weekend, that

>> secretary pompeo: two things come across.irst, the wealth that was created in iran as a result of the jcpoa grove iranian malign activity. it fueled the irg c, and provided resources for their work in syria and iraq. president trump's withdrawal is denying them that wealth, denying them the resources to continue that, to take the money away from them. withdrawal wasn't aimed at the europeans. i worked hard over the short time i've been the secretary of state to try and fix the deal. and we couldn't reach agreement with our e3 partners. i'm hopeful in the days and weeks ahead we can come up with a deal that really works, that really protects the world from iranian bad behavior, not just their nuclear program, but there missiles and their malign behavior as well. and i will work closely with the europeans to try and achieve that. >> chris: what about the european countries that say there's not going to be a renegotiation anymore than there will be a renegotiation of the parent claim is paris claimant accord. are they prepared t

eli lake, our friend from bloomberg makes the point today that the pompeo speech signals that pompeo-john kerry. basically every diplomatic initiative that john kerry thought was the pinnacle of foreign policy towards iran, pompeo has flipped on its head. >> the lion today is exactly what the obama administration didn't put on the table for negotiation when it came to the iran deal. the trumpet miniature semitic crystal clear that they're willing to combat as they talk about making sure that this is in the americas and interests, they'ven clear about backing allies in te region. there's been criticism from european allies towards the united states but the allies in the region seem to be getting ignored or at least not covered in terms of what they are saying about the iran deal. the extensive nature of what they are laid out today, maybe it's not all possible but the idea that they are going to give iran a choice when it comes to economic freedom, or giving up nukes and saying at the end of the day, you're not going to be able to choose guns over butter in the end. you're going to ha

and then he gave it to secretary pompeo. so, our teams are working to try to find out what was in the note. remember, this was not, pompeo had gone to north korea when i was cia director. remember be when we found that out, and it was revealed that mike pompeo had this secret meeting with kim jong-un to set the stager to the talks. you hear the chaering and see the peace signs from two men that are back in the main land. going to walter reid. the other piece of this, of course, is what it means from a broader geopolitical standpoint. they talked about the agenda for the talks. because that is something that will need to be worked out through the channels that have been developed now. what will had these men discuss. but step back a bit. this is a scene that at the, i'm sure, i think a lot of people had hoped to see when ottowarnbeir was released. he came back in a coma. he said that he had a call and so did the vice president with his parents. he knew how difficult this moment would be. seeing other detainees released, healt

mike pompeo just arrived a moment ago.fy for the second day in a row, this time before the senate foreign relations committee. he has strong words yesterday. always very interesting to hear the secretary of state, a man who was in north korea twice in the last six weeks. we'll see what he says today based on this news. >> sandra: last we heard it was hopeful this would still happen and said it was ultimately up to chairman kim were his words. we have fox team coverage. greg palkot is live in south korea for us and we begin to rich edson at the state department. >> secretary of state mike pompeo ultimately whether it would happen with state and administration officials planning for the june 12 summit, it would be up to kim jong-un whether the summit was going to happen. it appears it's up to president trump. he just released this letter in it he says based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in north korea's recent statements he feels it's inappropriate to have the long-planned summit in a bit of a threat h

>> this 12-step program laid out by pompeo is obviously a non-starter.you heard the steps vis-a-vis iran what it would take the united states to get to the negotiating table with iran, and then contrast that with what pompeo and the administration are doing, for example, with north korea. president trump is going to sit down with kim jong-un in singapore in 22 days now, i think, when north korea has committed to doing absolutely nothing that we're asking iran to do. despite the fact that north korea has a nuclear program and it engaged in all the activity thaz e that iran is, if not more. >> these demands, do you think they're unachievablunachievable? >> i think they are, and i think this fits in the broader frame of the speech in that pompeo knows, ehe knows that iran will not agree to this. when i listened to the speech, i actually thought it was something a secretary of defense would give and not a secretary of state. diplomacy was literally the last thing that secretary pompeo mentioned when he's supposed to be our country's chief diplomat, and i thi

he had two visits from mike pompeo as cia director, and then as secretary of state. so the whiplash here of going from missile test and nuclear tests to potentially historic u.s./north korean leader betwme between leaders that has canceled and you had people reportedly buying up land along the demilt rised zone expecting peace to break out. this is going to be a big blow to hopes here on the korean peninsula that a state of war, that has been in place since 1953, could maybe come to an end and with the u.s. stepping back now, those chances have greatly diminished. >> ivan, the summit is canceled. the door is not closed though given what the president wrote in this letter saying if you change your mind, having to do with this important summit, please do not hesitate to call or write and mike pompeo testifying on capitol hill, i'm still optimistic that we will reach that point. i know the president is too, asked whether this summit may go forward at a later date. much more of this breaking news straight ahead. welcome to holiday inn! thank you! ♪ ♪ wait, i have somethi

we'll have more on secretary pompeo's coverage.tick with us. >> the release of the three americans who have been held captive caps and a dramatic day of diplomacy in pyangyoung. in a 90 minute meeting between mike pompeo and kim jong un. he gave the fingers cross sign when asked about the prisoners as he returned to his hotel, signifying this was not a done deal. let's go now for the details to fox news correspondent lauren blanchard. what signal might kim jong un be sending to the president trump and the american people with this decision ahead of the talks to free americans? >> we are hearing it was a gesture of goodwill and the release of these three americans was no easy feat by this newly confirmed and sworn in secretary of state mike pompeo. this is his second known meeting with kim jong un in just th3 the summit has been set, but the details of not been made public. in photos from the north korean state tv, it shows smiles during pompeo's 90 minute meeting with north korean dictator kim jong un. pompeo telling reporters as t

at lower levels pompeo's team is negotiating what is going on. it shows that trump was not looking for a political show and some sort of demonstration that might win him the nobel peace prize. looks like he was looking for a real deal and because he couldn't get it he says they are not meeting. many thought he was just looking to have the deal but clearly he isn't. the thing i worry about now is that the north koreans might start doing bad things. testing moratorium was based on the idea that we would stay in dialogue with them. if that breaks down north korea might go back to testing missiles and take us to a very bad place. >> in about one hour from now we expect to see the president for the first time in person today holding a bill signing ceremony at the white house. w we will see him. i imagine he will want to talk about this. what does the president need to say? >> i think he probably needs to say it doesn't mean there is no continued dialogue. it doesn't mean everything is broken down. the summit is just not taking place. other channels wi

was made before pompeo was sent to north korea.t was a 1-2 punch for the white house and "the new york times" missed it. >> i think it was fair for journals to point out that rex tillerson did seem out of sync with his box fell like boss and out of the loop of major decisions. he was very humble with him at the cia and now state department. >> it is negative or false write-ups like this that led to the president's tweet regarding the fake news. let's put that up on the screen. "fake news is working overtime. just reported that despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy and all things else, 91% of the network news about me is negative. fake! why do we work so hard and working with the media when it is corrupt? takeaway credentials?" do you ever see him following through with this and what with the fallout be if the president were to censor the press that way? >> well, i think the remark about credentials, even if the president is just venting, is really unfortunate. first of all, he doesn't have the power to do th

we'll have more on pompeo's speech aftfter headlines.sident trump is meeting with south korean leader moon jae-in today the white house as the upcoming u.s.-north korea summit appears increasingly imperiled. on monday, the trump administration again threatened the u.s. could pursue the so-called libya denuclearization model if north korea does not cooperate. in 2003, libya negotiated sanctions relief from the united states in exchange for renouncing its nuclear program and welcoming international inspectors to verify the disarmament. eight years later, gaddafi was dragged through the streets and publicly killed by u.s.-backed rebels after the u.s. and its allies intervened with a massive bombing campmpaign. this is fox news's martha maccallum interviewing vice president mike pence monday. >> there was some talk about the libyan model last week. clear,president made this willl only end like a libya model ended if kim jong-un does not make a deal. >> some people saw that as a threat. >> i think it is marvelous fact. amy: president trump me

pompeo has had his first trip as secretary.sworn in less than two hours later he was on a plane to belgium and saudi arabia, israel and jordan. president trump is scheduled to speak at this ceremony upstairs in the ben franklin reception room. the state department is several floors of typical government building on top or below there are very ornate reception rooms upstairs. it will take place in one of those rooms and gina haskel will be on hand for this, the president has chosen her to follow pompeo as cia director. >> sandra: pompeo wants to spend less time upstairs in that building. >> he was talking about the seventh floor where the office and executive offices are. he wants to get to know and work with the state department employees and try to enable them to actually give president trump's policy. tillerson cut out most of the staff and there is optimism here that pompeo will reverse much of that and also work better with the white house to try to get some nominees to fill the many senior vacancies still here at the state
