as you point out, president trump, sarah huckabee sanders, touting the fact that the president had received a new letter from kim jong-un. sarah sanders, asked if there was a second meeting on the horizon, said nothing had been determined, but clearly she was leaving the door open for that possibility, andrea. and of course it comes as the secretary of state is headed to have more high level meetings and also saying, look, this is going to be a long process moving forward. so you have mixed messaging on that key front. and then on russia more broadly, andrea. it was striking yesterday in the briefing room. you had all of those top intelligence officials, dhs secretary here saying, look, we're taking the threat of russian meddling in the u.s. election very seriously, we are on top of it. now, of course, critics pointed out we're less than a hundred days out, where was that press briefing months ago? nonetheless that was the messaging yesterday. then president trump on the trump in wilkes-barre essentially calling the russian investigation a hoax. i've been pressing administration officials about this mixed messaging.

jong-un following their historic summit in june. the white house refused to disclose specifics. sarahlans for a second meeting could be announced soon in a tweet thanking kim, the president said overnight, thank you to chairman kim jong-un for keeping your word and starting the process of sending home the remains of our great and beloved missing fallen. i am not at all surprised that you took this kind of action. also thank you for your nice letter. i look forward to seeing you soon. secretary of state mike pompeo heads to singapore to meet with counter parts from the region, which would include north korea. trish? >> thank you, jennifer. to another threat right now. iran conducting a large scale exercise in the strait of hormuz today involving 50 gun boats. they practiced swarming operations that could be used to shut down the waterway. oil travels through there. so should we be worried about this? retired colonel bob mcginnis says we should care. >> we do care. as you indicate, up to 30% of the sea borne oil in the world, 18 million barrels pass through that strait every day. we've

jong-il who refused to denuclearization. >> then the optics of, you know, does this announcement from the president undermine the work of the secretary of state, even though, you know, sarahders, the white house spokesperson, said trump sent out this tweet canceling this visit even while pompeo was in the room so everybody knew about it? publicly, does did send the right message? >> to have the secretary of state announce a new envoy and then 24 hours later issue what really is a tepid rain check on this trip. the president left the door more than ajar. he said he looked forward to seeing chairman kim, his words, at a future date. president trump said kim jong-un is not keeping his commitments, he's not denuclearizing, he's still looking forward to seeing him. so you have to wonder why that is, if kim jong-un is still violating international law, a can't imagine that president trump needed any more evidence than what was in the iaea report earlier in the week saying they weren't denuclearizing to decide to cancel this trip. >> if it's not an embarrassment to pompeo, might it ultimately be an embarrassment for trump because he's the one who famously k famously declared nor

"i look forward to seeing you, too." there are plans in place or a discussion about a second meeting? he said received a letter from kim. what does the letter say? does it address any of the reports that appear to show that kim is not looking forward to organization? >> sarah: a lot of question rolled in one. if i miss one i'm sure you will point it out. he did receive a letter. i believe on august 1. there is not a second meeting that is currently locked in or finalized. certainly open to that discussion. there isn't a meeting planned. we have responded to chairman kim letter. the president has. the letter will be delivered shortly. i can't get into any more but i can say the letter address the commitment from the joint statement and that was made at the singapore summit and they continue to work together thwart complete and total denukization. >> ivanka trump said the media are not the enemy of people and said a statement on the families separated at the border. what was the pres
