richardson: no. i believe the president deserves wiedit for agreeing to mee kim jong-un, but no, i think the stration is speaking wit too many voices. you have got john bolton, the national security adviser, saying the libya model, where qaddafi ded up dead. if i am kim jong-un, i would be very nervous with that. then you have got pompeo, who i think is on the righk, who has met with kim jong-un, state department diplomat, diplomacy. the administration needs speak with one voice, and it should be pompeo, not the vice president, national security, or the president. the president, you know know what he -- you never know what he is going to tweet early in the morning.th that is ong. second thing, forget complete denuclearization. the north koreans aren't going to do it. but it is worthy of the summit io discuss curbing missile use, nuclear use, convel there are a lot of good things that can happen. the situation on the peninsula couldn't be worse, so from the top to the bottom it is the best way to nego

admiral richardson will discuss the combat ship. deployed in 2018. 11 lcs ships delivered to the navy as of today but will have none deploy. two days ago, admiral merts testified, quote, the typical deployment model, 3 to 5 ships to one to keep them deployed so this is really just math. there will be gaps that fill in over time and we're not concerned about that, end quote. but september, 8 months ago, the commander of naval service forces in the pacific fleet said you can maintain 3 to 4 combat ships deployed when you take on the blue gold crew system. what is the answer here to the actual deployment ratio? >> i'll tell you. as you know, the combat ship has been a program that has been through some troubled times. and i would say in the past, we probably pushed that ship out forward a little bit ahead of its time before the system, the program had stabilized and we had done the appropriate testing and gained the confidence. as soon as i got in as the chief of naval operations, i directed the naval service forces to take a look at t

phil: washington, dc now where we are joined by the correspondent lee richardson. -- claire richardsonme big themes. claire: trump's message here was his administration is behind gun owners and any initiatives they would see as infringing on their second amendment constitutional rights to own guns. he called these people real patriots. it is a massive convention of 80,000, and the reason this was closely watched is because in many ways it was seen as a test of how much has really changed. there has been a big national conversation since the massacre at a high school in parkland, florida in february. student led movements of walkouts, protests with celebrity support, and there was a sense this could be a turning point where we might see some tougher regulations on guns in the united states. we heard during trump's speech that he is back in front of the nra, his fourth year addressing the convention, and he has not changed after what we saw in parkland. he said he wanted to harm -- arm highly trained teachers area when i was in parkland,'s teachers would rather have school supplies that

we want to go first to clear richardson in washington. -- claire richardson.t was the biggest take away from this announcement today? clare: there is a lot to unpack in what was truly perhaps the most monumental foreign-policy decision we have seen in donald trump's presidency to date. he repeated a lot of his critiques of the iran nuclear agreement which he has always maintained was a very bad, one-sided deal. he things was poorly negotiated in 2015 under the obama administration, and he points to specific issues he had been seeking to try and address and have threatened to remove the added states from the accord if they were not. essentially he thinks the agreement overall is too weak. he was concerned about things like sunset clauses, which allow iran to resume some activities after a certain amount of time. it does not seriously address -- and did not not seriously address iran's ballistics missile program. however, this is a devastating blow for the u.s. european allies who believe the iran nuclear deal is the best way to stop iran from getting nuclear bo

claire richardson is standing by now with the latest reaction from washington claire what was the statement by north korea that donald trump was referring to there. hi sarah this statement in question was from north korea was referring to u.s. president vice me u.s. vice president mike pence as ignorant and stupid and that was in response to some comments that he made over the weekend in which he said that kim jong un could face an end like the libya model if you refused to make a deal now it's worth unpacking what that means the libya model why that would be seen as something that would elicit such a response from north korea if you remember where gadhafi government in libya back in early two thousand agreed with the george w. bush administration to give up its nuclear program and then years later we saw during the arab spring uprisings that this leader was brutally murdered by his own people and nato backed rebels and so kim jong un and the north korean a regime are looking at the libya model as a matter of in terms of how it stands for their own political survival they see that if you gi

are we have team coverage of this story deny our correspondent clear richardson is in washington and our very own parent rigger is in brussels to both of you good evening clare let me start with you in washington what happens next will sanction be reintroduced immediately. but we've seen the treasury department say that it's going to be over the course of a period of eighty days and a hundred and scares me ninety days in one hundred eighty days of a wind down period as part of reinstating these sanctions now there was some talk that this might happen that they would not go into effect immediately as a way for the u.s. government to try in a last ditch effort to bring iran to the negotiating table to buy some time but they have course have said that they are not interested in renegotiating the deal and this is truly a monumental moment in the united states foreign policy and possibly the biggest foreign policy decision of trump's administration to date let's take a listen to more of what the u.s. president had to say today in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begi

ok we're going to get the perspective from washington now our correspondent there claire richardson standing by foursquare how is washington reacting to this surprise meeting between the two korean leaders. hi christopher we're still waiting to see exactly what kind of reaction we're going to get from trump and the white house we do know that the white house has announced that a team is planning to leave from washington to singapore today to iron out some of the details for the planned meeting on june twelfth as though trump has never walked away from this arrangement but we know that the surprise meeting between the north and south korean leaders as you say also focused on they say that it focused on ensuring that a successful american north korean leader summit does take place at some point of course this would be historic if trump just sit down with kim it would be the first time a sitting u.s. president meets with a north korean leader a lot of the details still need to be fleshed out so that's why we would see this team in singapore trying to determine an agenda some of the nitty gritty

am joined here at the big table by marcus kahn for analysis good to see you mr stein and claire richardson she joins us in washington claire let me start with you so what are the biggest takeaway today from president rob what would you say that takeaway is. well this is a truly a momentous moment in u.s. foreign policy history we heard donald trump reiterate a lot of his concerns about the iran nuclear deal that he had expressed beforehand remember it was one of his key campaign promises that he was going to pull the united states out of what he saw as a poorly negotiated a bad deal for the united states now of course that goes completely counter to what the united states european allies wanted to see we've seen weeks of lobbying by both chancellor merkel and french president and the new immigrants here in washington d.c. to try to convince him otherwise but he came out strongly today pointing to some of these issues that we've heard about before reiterating that he thinks that the deal is too weak that it doesn't address things like what he calls sunset clauses that allow some restriction

everybody plays games well let's bring in clay richardson in washington a washington correspondent do we have any idea clay of why president trump a base to be changing his mind again. hi christopher well his supporters would say that this is all part of a tactic to try and get a tough negotiation and concessions from north korea and as you say in fact the response from north korea has been quite conciliatory they said that they were willing to talk at any time and so people who support trump say that it was actually good that he decided to walk away from this summit where there are still so many open questions about the logistics of how it would take place we have a location set for singapore but aside from that there is no clear agenda it's not clear who is going to be there and they said it would not bode well for him to walk into these talks without having more of the specifics ironed out now his detractors would say that's not the case at all that trump was so desperate for a political win at home that he was willing to risk war on the korean peninsula certainly alienating americ

let's go straight to washington and clear kora a clear richardson standing by for us a clear the president clearly relishing this moment as an important victory on the road to the summit with kim jong un. absolutely he is touting this as a victory for his a strong campaign of pressure on north korea he says that that's what's been able to bring kim jong un to the negotiating table and it really was quite a spectacle we saw that welcome to these prisoners home it's rare to have the president and his wife the vice president and other high ranking officials come out in the middle of the night in washington d.c. to greet these prisoners to have them come down a red carpeted stairway to really kind of try and show the nation how proud they are of having secured their release through the new secretary of state might pump aoe during his surprise trip to pyongyang so it looks like a goodwill gesture from north korea and trump is very much making sure that he's receiving credit at home for the fact that he is really secure this release it should also be noted however that this is not uncommon we've

for more let's bring in claire richardson who is standing by with the latest from washington so clear you know as we see here more back and forth on whether this summit could actually go ahead to we know why president trump appears to be changing his mind again. hi sarah well term supporters would say that this is all part of his grand strategy that it's a tough negotiating tactic that's meant to actually extract more concessions from north korea and they have praised him for walking away from this meeting because there is such a wide gap between expectations we know now that there's a date and there was there had been a date in a place for it obviously june twelfth in singapore but aside from that it was not clear what was on the agenda who was going to be there any of the nitty gritty details that are so important to the off chance of a meeting like this i had not been sorted out now his detractors would say that that was not the case at all and that was in fact so desperate for a political victory at home to be seen as the man who was able to bring kim jong un to the negotiating ta

s claire richardson reports from the border. these are some of the faces that have invoked degrading president donald trump the reason he's threatened to mexico and called for thousands of troops to be sent to protect the border and stop short on their journeys they've set up a makeshift camp into want to mexico. but as you know we're sending many many national guardsman down to the border most of them are already there and that's having a big impact most are from can join us they say the united states must hear their asylum case that they left their homes because they had reasons to fear for their safety but imagine if they killed my father. or i mean that's less than what they because of death threats that's what forced me to lave one of the men pulled out a gun pointed at me and told me if i didn't give him what he wanted he was going to kill me soon all of that battle came up with maybe i'm not that. they travel together for over a month my first boss and training. they sought safety in numbers and what can be an arduous and

allies like south korea where richardson with the latest from washington josh smith the joining us from seoul thank you so much both of you. it's let's turn to some other news now because dutch investigators say that the missile that brought down bill asian airlines flight m h seventeen nearly four years ago came from a russia based military unit the passenger jet was headed from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was blown out of the sky over eastern ukraine all two hundred ninety eight passengers and crew were killed russia has rejected the investigators latest findings they'd already established won't shut down the plane now for the first time dutch led investigators have determined the russian made book missile did originate in russia it's still to conclusion to goldman to birkdale a joint investigation team has concluded that the book mists of the shutdown and seventeen came from the fifty third missile brigade based in sc in russia. in the shrader. the investigators laid out how they came to that conclusion using photos and videos taken by the public to discover crucial details and

to see if he's really walking away from the summit and for more let's bring indeed he is claire richardson who is standing by with the latest from washington so clear we have hear more back and forth on whether or not this summit could actually go ahead do we know why president trump appears to be changing his mind again. hi sara well his supporters would say this is all part of a grand strategy that it's a tough negotiating tactic that's aimed at actually extracting more concessions of from north korea and those supporters gave him a lot of credit for walking away from this summit because there does seem to be a huge gap between expectations from the united states and north korea although we have a date and a play date and a place in singapore on june twelfth a lot of the details of the meeting were still up in the air there was no clear agenda and so they say that it's important that donald trump stepped away from this sort of united states did not go to the negotiating table and come back with an embarrassment now his critics would say that's all nonsense and in fact it was just so desp

. >> last hour we had a democrat bill richardson on our air, you reacted sharply, i want to play someof it. >> i wish it not happened june 12th, because we need to do preparation, we need to find ways to have our message by one person. i think that's secretary pompeo, objective, a strategy, i think we are still not comfortable with the strategy we have on denuclearization. >> a veteran diplomat, did a lot of good, ambassador to un and what not, as you and i were talking, he and others both democrats and republicans, administration after administration did the same thing over and over again and yet this president is trying something different and appears to be working. >> certainly. richardson talks about preparation, i can sort of understand that but on the other hand we've had little preparation and we've the north koreans make important concessions, they released three americans and made public commitments to denuclearizing and we heard in summit when moon said kim was willing to get rid of nukes, kim is being cynical. the other thing that richardson said in the interview i think is

here to talk more about it, bill richardson, former new mexico governor, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., and he has successfully negotiated the release of americans held in north korea. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, nicolle. >> so obviously you know the nature of the north korean regime better than anybody, and no matter who the american president is, we root for the home team. but former cia director john brennan said to me about a week ago that he was worried that the president was setting himself up to be duped by kim jong-un. do you think the president got outmaneuvered? >> well, clearly this is part of the president's negotiating strategy. you know, when he doesn't like something, he opts out like with the paris climate talks, the trans-pacific partnership, the iran issue. and now i think he felt that maybe he was being outmaneuvered, so the best thing to do is get out. but i do think the north koreans overplayed their hands, although i can tell you i've dealt with them. this is typical. they bluster. they flex their muscles. they don't s

clare richardson is standing by for us this evening. how has this news of detainees been received in the u.s.? claire: hi, rents. this is had a really positive reception. for trump supporters, any sign of warming relations the between the u.s. and north korea will be seen as a victory for trump. he believes it has been his strong arm tactics and strong pressure tactics that brought north korea to the table and secure the release of these prisoners. if you look at where we were a few months ago, it is a remarkable turn how far things have come. we talk about the possibility of a potentially historic summit between trump and can. -- hanand kim. he was threatening him with fire and fury. the release of prisoners is not something new. we have seen it in past administrations. north korea typically releases american prisoners after high-ranking officials from the united date go in person -- states go in person to secure their release. brent: president trump says a date and a venue has been set for the meeting between the two leaders. what mor

where our corresponding clear richardson is on the story for us tonight good evening to you clear has the white house said anything about any type of answer or reaction from kim jong il and i mean we know the pentagon gave a statement today right. yeah that's right the pentagon has said that there's a normal state of alert for american forces on the peninsula but they said that the u.s. is also ready to respond to any kind of provocation from north korea be that a missile strike or what have you and that they are ready to defend themselves and south korea now from the white house it seems that their issue is that they see north korea as having violated a series of promises and that they are they haven't really been taking things seriously when it came to this summit they said that a delegation of americans who were there to help plan the planned june twelfth summit and singapore were not met by the north koreans that they were essentially stood up and also issue was that nuclear test site that you were discussing earlier they invited journalists to come see its destruction but without
