u.s.-north korea responses. does this kind of set up, maybe set up between the u.s. and china for north korea's far going forward. >> right after the news of the north korea-u.s. summit, there was serious concern in beijing worrying about china being sidelined, being marginalized and losing control. i think that -- we even heard wide concern from chinese experts in extreme cases -- there was a chance that when the u.s. and north korea might make some deal in which they collude together against china. because china knows for a long time that north ren't really like china. if conditions were right, they would be more than happy to establish a close relationship with washington. north korea wants to play this role. many conservative chinese always believe the u.s. doesn't really worrabout north korean nuclear threat. the u.s. knows very well north korean nuclear weapons are simply for survival. north korea would never use nuclear weapons without being seriously provoked and invading invaded. therefore, the u.s. has to begin using north korean nuclear threat as an accused

u.s.-north korea response. does this set up competition between u.s. and china for north korea's favor going forward or is that too strong of a statement? >> i think right after the news of the north korea-u.s. summit meeting was announced there was serious concern in aging about, worrying about china being sidelined, being marginalized and losing control for future direction. we even heard wide concern from chinese experts from different backgrounds, in extreme cases there was maybe there was a chance that when u.s. and north korea were talking directly they might make some deal in which they collude together against china. because china knows a long time that north korea doesn't really like china. if conditions are right north korea would be more than happy to establish close relationship with washington. north korea wants to play this role. and maybe conservative chinese experts also always believed the u.s. doesn't really worry about north korean nuclear threat. the u.s. knows very well north korea's nuclear weapons are simply for survival. north ko

it essentially puts north korea into a position where we have to see if north korea can take yes for an answer the u.s. hostile policy perceived by north korea has always been the primary stumbling block that they have pointed to with regards to the possibility of denuclearization. is that it naive at this particular moment to think that north korea which has been said that for decades nuclear program possibly not tional. sovereignty. and suddenly come now and say we're willing to give it to give it up i mean most policymakers and observation in the east asian region know are realistic about the outcome of this talk many are pragmatic considering the summit happening itself to be itself a victory and many are taking a patient kind of stance when it comes to real results and in the press conference by president from we saw the steps that he's laid out for us he's going to send secretary of state might promptly pompey are over and there will be a team that's made up of a mix in the national members as well as american members for the very first of a process. and also other nuclear technical experts ther

it when north korea and the u.s. because ultimately if that happens north korea's want to depend any more on china. no i don't think so i think china is major factor in east asia china was a major factor is a major factor and we remain a major factor in the coming years and decades or so i'm sure it's this fact cannot be changed and therefore china does not worry or fall deep yaki have in our efforts fall with united states as a matter of fact china wants to create a situation where the united states and deep dark it can be friends rather then and emits because what china does not want is to have hostility on the korean peninsula chunk of those not want to have a war of confrontation on the truth of this is so long as there is peace and stability on the curb in this era china fed with its war then otherwise so don't get china wrong in what china wants i think china does not have us that fish vested interest in the instability on the tour import insula just on the contrary china wants to promote a situation where our d

doesn't really worry about north korea's nuclear threat. the u.s. knows very well north korea's nuclear weapons are simply for safeguarding regime survival. north korea would never use nuclear weapons without being seriously provoked and invaded. and therefore u.s. has been simply using north korean nuclear threat as an excuse to strength alliance network. and given this deep chinese distrust towards both north korea and the united states, there was extreme concern that when these two guys are talking together, there's a risk both countries might decide to put aside their nuclear dispute and try to forge a very close relationship. i think that concern was slightly mitigated after kim jong-un came to china twice and and had very good meetings with the president they went to singapore and north korea published the picture with kim un working outside of the airplane with the big chinese flag in the background. that shows a special relationship between north korea and china that exists and north korea still relies very much on chinese in the future. the

u.s.-north korea summit now, at the u.s.mit meeting as to the concrete matters to be discussed, i'd like to refrain at this juncture, but in any case, japan's position were explained at length and president trump has given understanding and promised the issue would be brought up at the summit meeting in singapore, and i'm delighted of this. president trump and the international community, i'd like to closely work with president trump as well as seeking the solution to the issue. japan, itself, needs to have direct consultation with north korea. i have not changed my resolve in doing so under this decision and result, what will be conducive to solve the abduction issue, of course, i will have to think about the summit meeting for japan, north korea summit meeting if we are to have a summit meeting at the nuclear missile, what is more important, the abduction issue, the solution to all these issues must be sought, and i hope that we will be able to realize that meeting which would lead to solution of the problems first and for

to the north korea and asked for hold the future policy on north korea inclusive of for the u.s. north korea summit meeting we have detailed coordination aligning our positions as i have already mentioned japan and the united states are always said together japan and the united states will be in full alignment and to seek success for the historic us north korea summit meeting in singapore. yes thank you very much your maximum pressure is absolutely in effect we don't use the term anymore because. going into a friendly negotiation perhaps after that negotiation i will be using it again you'll know how well we do in the negotiation if you hear me saying we're going to use maximum pressure you'll know the negotiation did not do well frankly we there's no reason to say it we in the meantime haven't removed any sanctions we have a list of over three hundred massive in some cases sanctions to put on north korea and i've decided to hold that on till we can make a deal because i really believe there's a potential to make a deal and i just don't think it's nice going in under those circums

u.s. say that he was tortured in north korea he came back to the u.s. three hundred sixty four days ago in a coma and then died one of the really blackest moments in a very black year for relations between north korea and the united states in september president trump at the u.n. general assembly threatening to totally destroy north korea addressing kim as rocket man in the distinguished settings of the u.n. general assembly i can tell you because i was there that ambassadors foreign ministers and presidents from around the world were appalled by this bellicose language this is in the way someone speaks at the united nations and yet that may well have been a factor in what has got us here today to singapore to sentosa island and to the cupola hotel where there may well be we think in the coming minutes a signing of a declaration now let's not go too far here north korea and the u.s. have signed agreements before and they've fallen apart and both say there was bad faith on the other side so we're not going anywhere we haven't been before in terms of signi

north korea. framework, the agreed of the u.s. and north korea signed in 1994, the target period of 10 years. it was too short. toby: can i get you to take on -- is there a secret plan for the u.s. to expel the question? soojin: i don't know if there is one. can pick upm atas been discu that it is so true that denuclearization is not just about the physical aspects -- physics aspects, but very much political aspect. i think it is important to take that into account. that regard, to resolve this problem, i think w reme that political aspect and investigating that is having the peace treaty to reple that. technically, we are still at war. the two koreas are still at work. that is what makes north korea so insecure. way to we need to find a address this issue. i think those are some of the things we need to work on and to in tandem with the physical denuclearization of the political aspects to build more confidence and also, another thing i wanted to bring up is that although we will have to see if the thinking remains with this current leader, kim jong-un, because during the previous dialogues,

north korea. what is the potential do you think for the u.s. terms of trade with north korea and actually broadening the region for trade opportunities? guest: i think we are a long way away from looking at trade opportunities with north korea. we need to end their nuclear program, try to eliminate the nuclear weapons, stop the international effort of spreading nuclear technology. focus.ve to be our first we have to strengthen our regional alliances and ensure our allies that we are committed to this region and working together. that, in the long run, leads to economic opportunities for the north koreans, so be it. but first and foremost, we need to bring peace and security to the region. host: one more thing on the sanctions, the president yang the sanctions would continue in place. we talked to congressman ted yoho earlier, saying his effort for new sanctions would move ahead in the house. do you support that? i do. we need to continue to put pressure on the regime. need toh koreans understand that the only path forward to enter the family of

u.s. wants north korea's denuclearization north korea wants u.s. security guarantees commitments that have been promised and reneged on before trump is confident that this time will be different but its past efforts have shown it's a long way between a handshake and peace. so we're live in singapore with our d.c. bureau chief alexander phenomenon here in the studio with that paragraph from the german council on foreign relations bad we've seen some positive reactions at least from trump so far are you optimistic about what this summit is going to look like at the end i'm really optimistic or feel listen to. it or kim you're going at the beginning he said we overcame older yachts to come to this meeting and i think that's true of needed it's true leaders who actually take this step and of course need to take more steps in the future there will be a lot of risk management it won't go without the need to build. trust. people who do that and have the states to set up a process to have some. expectation management for the future but then. as you said on

which is very unfair for north what which could be unfair for north korea however they first said it that the new relationship between u.s. and north korea would be the priority for them and also the p three team should be protected and all thought us have knowledged to protect the region of north korea and to give security protections for north korea which is a big fuck fest which i believe in this summit and also they have the article of the nuclear life ation which has some controversies over for this that is the first step of u.s. and north korea right now and for the first step i think it was enough and it's totally successful so should i assume given everything that you're saying that there is a mood of euphoria in south korea at this point in time yes we find more hope from this moment and i've i assured him and i also personally fairest that curt many koreans had fear and heart fear of war and this was high that for them inside of them for many years and for their entire lives because when they face the fear that is inside their heart the fear of war from outside powers then they cannot serve. live for their whol

u.s. president i'll trump and north korea's kim turned on who will be live for that historic encounter. i'm irish waiter thank you for joining us u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un are making their way into the history books today as they're about to come together for their historic meeting in singapore these are live pictures from the summit site on santo's island off the coast of singapore both leaders have arrived here now we just saw president donald trump and the hotel moments ago and we're waiting for the moment when they will appear in front of the world's media and presumably shake hands before heading off into their one on one meeting. and while we wait we have correspondents boston hashtag hashtag and alexandra naaman following the story for us in singapore and also joined here in the studio by van de facto he's the head of the asia program at the german council on foreign relations bad let's start with you lot of anticipation for the summit are you optimistic about the outcome. can only be a mistake or so far. nothing has happened this can only som

u.s. and north korea and some of the key issues. yeah i think again some of the details of what is being discussed are not readily available at the moment in effect it seems increasingly likely given the messages coming from donald trump and others within the administration that perhaps we won't see any significant deal announced on june twelfth in singapore when donald trump meets with kim jong un donald trump and self saying that this will be the first step and in effect it may take two or three meetings two or three summits before any deal can be come to an end even the u.s. defense secretary james mattis saying in singapore just a few moments ago that any discussion around u.s. troop numbers in south korea will not be on the agenda in singapore when the summit takes place so it seems like this will be largely a symbolic meeting between the two leaders if indeed it does happen of course still a very important step towards having a peaceful korean peninsula or perhaps more concrete than simply symbolic is what's going on between n

u.s. soldiers that are based in south korea as part of that so-called nuclear that the u.s. has over south korea as a way of protecting it from any attack from north korea so one would imagine that any deal in the long term that has reached a deal nuclearized peninsula may see a reduction if not the removal of those you u.s. troops from south korea there's absolutely no sign that the u.s. is going to agree to that any time soon but that would be something that south koreans would be particularly concerned about that. that protection that they enjoy having in place that they want here is somehow going to be reduced or even removed altogether you mentioned away moments ago sols keen for a formal end to the korean war would that mean for seoul. well it would mean a chance to move on really this country has been at war technically since the end of the korean war it's since it ended in an armistice not in a formal peace treaty back in one nine hundred fifty three so it is technically been at war for that entire time since yes it's been largely peaceful since then there have been some attacks have been provocations there's been violence at times between

u.s. and north korea. well certainly japan is a lot at stake in this process and they're very concerned about the danger to their territory with north korean nuclear weapons and they there was a feeling in japan that the country had been sidelined in these talks whereas there were talks between north and south korea in april and then between the u.s. and north korea this week in japan had really been worked out so it was i think quite definitely smart of company to discuss this immediately with the japanese government and for the three governments to issue statements together one of the things that brought up which is really a concern of japan and is dealing with issues of the past including the issue of dirty as it is japanese citizens taken by north korea in the past which has been very much a concern of the japanese public and something that the japanese government has a high priority on in moving toward normal relations between japan and north korea let me widen this out just very slightly one country

north korea's game? it's transparent, everyone knows it. a peace treaty would call into question with movement of u.s. troops in north korea and new peacnv ikely be withdrawn. so that's a plus for north korea in changing the balance of power in the korean peninsula in its favor. i think north korea wants more. if you sign a peace treaty, if there is one among the u.s.-china north korea, south korea, the south korean constitution will come under revision. in particular articles three and four. article 3 defines korean r.o.k. territory as the korean peninsula and adjacent island, that is the entire peninsula. article 4 stimulates that north korea, the r.o.k., will pursue a policy of peaceful unification on the principle of freedom and moacy. free democracy. kim ord is anathema to jong-un. this cause friction in south korean society. south koreans will bicker among themselves, and this is a plus foa beuse korea will insist that all its concerns --s concned with is peace. north korea thinks on multiple veey are not one dimensional, and certainly not crazy. duyeon: just quickly on peace treaty. it's actuall

u.s. and north korea can get along than about whether the u.s. and north korea are going to go to war so the chinese are pleased that the level of tension is has been reduced but also when the american president says he's going to scale back u.s. south korean joint military exercises and suggested that he could put on the table for future negotiation the whole presence in south korea of american military forces the chinese have been dying to see a reduction in the u.s. military presence in northeast asia because that simply weakens the american strategic position in the far east and the result is that china is strengthened so i think beijing has to be thrilled is there any risk that kim jong un could lose his leadership on a do you have any idea if there are factions in north korea against him. people have been trying to figure out the internal dynamics in the north korea for a long time and there's been endless amounts of speculation my own sense is that kim jong un although he was quite young when he took power after his father died in two thous
