about destroying north korean missiles and their launch over north korea, instead of over the sea of japan. this,time to move out on the presentation of north korean icbms does not help japan. thingss a raft of these coming out of this. isn't a bad idea to have a summit? formalre more previous -- former policies and strategy execution in which north korea has been more effective, but the north korean threat first became , secretary perry said we were looking into the abyss, we got to add an agreement, a framework agreement onhe north koreans cheated it and can north korea ask out and we considered preemptive attack just like we did in 1993. what will come out of this? we don't know. but this has to be carefully managed. china has de facto control over the south china sea, now. we don't yet, to my knowledge, to any effective agreements carve out space for the philippines, for the people in as philippines to act traditional efficiency, who shores are washed by the south china sea. problem that is going to be solved. it has to be a matter to be managed. he has adopted this model of sovereignt

of much needed oil, for example. japan said one of their military aircraft spotted a cargo ship that appeared to be getting supplies in the east china sea and appeared to take on cargo in the sea of japan, which is a broader area. so this is clearly something they'll talk about. >> a point to dagen and lisa's point. on dagen, donald trump sort of was putting himself on the back for creating these relationship with world leaders. he had a testy conversation with trudeau, macron about trade. >> a separate issue. >> on trade. it appears that japan is in the bulls eye on trade. china is the bad guy on aluminum and steel but they're applying sanctions about japan. they're questioning how much these relationships are a value to him. and japan being a regard to north korea, mike pompeo said the principle concern for the u.s. was whether or not the u.s. was in dangered by what north korea has. he's a not how alliances work. we're not just -- >> not just but -- >> and the backers of the gulf war were joining us. >> president trump has said he's going to address the concerns with the japanese prime minister. >> great. he should. >> the hostages t

the nuclear capability, detonating nuclear warheads, launching ballistic missiles over the sea of japan. those are not problems createded by the trump administration. but guess was trying to solvebl it? donald trump. it's just facts. >> sean: as i said yesterday, you were someone who wanted the president to manage expectations. did he exceed them? >> i think he has. i also think he has effectively managed the summit. it sparked a flurrof diplomatic engagement. follow-up meetings, we are already seeing secretary pompeo this reinforces --e diplomacy. >> sean: north korean media said they are coming to the states. >> there will be a lot of meetings in preparation for that. it reinforces the ban of testing of nuclear missiles and icbms. i think that's extraordinarily important. i would like to see follow-on agreements, maybe in pyongyang in washington, d.c., so we can support the engagement. >> sean: the president said no deal unless it's complete, verifiable, and irreversible. >> in the meantime, we have other issues thatav are also beg resolved with our 7,000 mias. it doesn't matter which

a year ago, they were firing miiles into the sea of japan as a signal to north korea this time they shortenedhe time period, made them quieter, purposely, to be less offensive to the north koreans, who hate these annual war games you'll recall, with the shortened war games, north koreans called off a meeting they were supposed to have with the south koreans protest from those military war games. >> michelle, lot to process this morning.than to you once again michelle caruso-cabrera. markets have been largely shrugging off the cautious optimism out of last night's meeting between the president and kim jong-un. another look at the two leaders and that historic sitdown. [ inaudible >> joining us this morning, former u.s. ambassador to the russian federation and international affairs analyst michael mcfaul and also gabriella sant good to see you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> mr. ambassador, there's the letter and then there's the language that the president used to describe kim. you thought that kind of language, at least, was unnecessar >> yes why is he using that language? this is a dic

of a dice roll. >> trace: yeah. a big deal for japan. while he was firing off the test missiles, they were landing in the sea of japan, close to the nations big for them. i remember six months ago doing the detailed records about checking the mileage from north korea to alaska, north korea to the west coast of california and how far it is. how far to guam. i want to play some sound from the president. here's the language that he used about kim jong-un not that long ago. listen. >> the united states has great strength and patience. but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocketm rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime. >> your thoughts today, john. >> yes. the u.s. has a security relationship with japan. if it's attacked, the u.s. comes to the support of japan. so that missile wouldn't necessarily have to get to the united states. it would, as you point out, have to hit an ally in the region. the bigger question here though is at the end of the day, north korea's survival and the regime survival depends upon having those weapons. it seems a long re

we have had three carrier strike gros in the sea of japan. we put more aircraft on guam. kim jong un knows what's going on. and you the president say about a weak ago emphasize in his comment when he cancelled the summit and then it was back on, he talked about the 700 billion-dollar budget for this year, this coming year. you know, that's a huge astronomical number for any country but for north korea, it's just, you know, not even fathomable for them. so the teeth to all of this diplomacy and economic sanctions and information warfare, the tweets back and rth, et cetera, is the military. and that's what senator graham is talking about. >> harris: do they fear us, north korea? >> no. you know what? i think everybody should be concerned about north korea's ability to strap a nuke on one of their intercontinental ballistic missiles. and so i think this meeting that is happening in singapore has ramifications for world peace, and it's a tremendous opportunity here and i don't agree with your previous guest that, you know, kim jong un has the you were hand. you know, presiden

and biological weapons we should remember that north korea tested tested those systems in the sea of japan and over japan and there's a certain. concern that those weapon systems can be used against japan ok i get a little concerned about the military build up but obviously north korea house i mean in terms of the positioning of where china is in terms of the way that it's whether it has you might say the influence to bring north korea to the bargaining table i mean how how important is their role now as we much analysis about what sort of push they may have given to pyongyang to get to this stage what is their influence right now. i think their influence is is is rather positive in terms of moving denuclearization and deescalating tension in the direction of the north koreans rather than in the direction of the united states i say this for a few reasons first of all i think it wasn't the american maximum pressure that brought the north koreans to the table it was them securing a strategic nuclear deterrent they gave them the confidence that they could engineer a meeting with donald trump

which means destroying north korean missiles as they're launched over north korea, instead of over japan or the sea of japan. it's time to move out on this. there's a danger out of these negotiations of a separate peace, if we settle for something like destruction of north korean intercontinental ballistic missiles, that does not help japan. matter of fact, it could hurt. these types of things, there's a raft of things coming out of this that we have to manage very, very carefully. is it a bad idea to have a summit? that presupposes that our previous more formal policy and strategy execution with north korea has been effective. it has not. we first -- the first -- the north korean threat became publicly known around 1991. secretary perry said, quote, we were looking into the abyss. and we later wrote a book about it. we got to an agreement. we got to the -- matter of fact, the framework agreement. the north koreans cheated on the agreement. then we started into the cycle where north korea acts out, we consider pre-emptive attack like we did in 1993. we decided that's a bad idea. we go to talks. nor
