flew out of an air base in uzbekistan. were kicked out of that base but the president would like to keep relations good with a country neighboring afghanistan. that's part of the reason for this meeting and we'll keep an eye on it and let you know what transpires if we get any word. >> julie: new drama days ahead of the royal wedding all coming from the bride's side. what else is new? with meghan markle's family providing a lot of tabloid fodder. jonathan hunt is live in los angeles. if people cared about my wedding i had more drama going on than this family. what did her dad do? >> julie, this wedding may be in windsor but the drama is 6,000 miles away south of where i'm sitting across the border in mexico where meghan markle's dad, thomas, lives and has been at the center of a will he, won't he saga? meghan wants her dad to walk her down the aisle. first saying he would, then deciding he wouldn't in the wake of a bizarre story involving him staging some photos of himself with paparazzi, then saying he would again because

he is talking with the uzbekistan president. he just said we will have to see whether north korea meeting will happen on june 12. do you get involved? even when you come in how much transparent the do you give out to the world in very fine that those nuclear weapons aren't there are not developing? david: from the u.s. point of view there is a sense that we did this once in the 90's and we thought we had an agreement and they promised and they started cheating on it in different locations almost as soon as we made the agreement. so it's understandable why the president and his team are saying we need really irrevocable demonstrable change in the position of north korea. shery: i completely understand what you are talking about. with uraniumahead enrichment which is of course different and leading to the collapse of the 1994 framework and remember that time they are very close to having a summit with the united states. that didn't happen and this would have been historical. june 12 in singapore. now the risk is there that that mi

[ multiple speakers ] >> thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> uh, yeah. i would say not your most polite behavior by the white house press pool there. very hard to hear in the scrum there. but it is hard to get the president's attention, and that's what reporters were trying to do to ask him about north korea, today canceling reports with south korea and it's possible north korea will now pull out of the planned trump-kim summit. the president saying, we'll see what happens, time will tell. not wanting to answer questioning whether he takes this seriously. north korea objecting to long-planned u.s.-s

could say more on north korea after we heard from him earlier in the office with the president from uzbekistan. it's well summed up in those two words, brianna, we'll see. >> we'll see. thank you very much. we are monitoring that event that the kaitlin talked about on sanctuary cities. we're going to bring that to you if there is any news coming out of it. to discuss what we were just talking about, i want to bring in michael o'hanlon and saved singer. he is national security correspondent for the "new york times." what do you make, david, of north korea citing this bolton reference of looking at the libya model for north korea and the fact that that's what bolton even said. do you think that it's perhaps counterproductive in the face what could be an historic meeting for bolton to have said that? >> first, what the north koreans are doing, putting up a lot of dust around the summit, whether or not it will even happen, entirely predictable. i've covered north korea in negotiations since the clinton 1994 crisis talks and there have been four or five since. this has been a pattern in each and ev

this is the president of uzbekistan he's chatting with there at the portico at the white house. peter, is this a calculated shift in tactics perhaps, with president trump? >> it shows the president for all of this, you know, history of sendiary tactics has the ability to hold his tongue when he wants. he doesn't want to respond to the provocation with an ale provocation on the other side, although that's often his instinct. in knithis case told by advisor there would be bumps in the road between now and singapore and june 12th and the meeting may or may not happen because that's the way the north koreans sometimes operate and be careful about being too definitive declaring victory before it's happened. hasn't stopped him always, but clearly he's looking at this and trying to avoid blowing up what he wants to be a big, high-profile meeting that will feed his case to the american public and the world that he is somebody who gets things done. >> gordon chang. this is gordon chang, author of the nuclear showdown. north korea takes on the world. what he said on "morning joe." >> it's

on what we were hearing out of the oval there as the president was meeting with the president of uzbekistan, we caught a little bit of him talking about north korea. >> it can be tough to hear sometimes because the press aides are yelling at the press to leave the room at the same time the press are yelling questions at the president, and the president sometimes tries to answer the questions while the aides and press are both yelling. that's the dynamic you have in the oval office these days so what we think we heard there is the president saying we'll see what happens in terms of north korea. then also asked if kim is bluffing, according to reporters who were in the room there he replied, we'll see what happens to that. so the president not willing to show his cards here, and the problem when you talk to white house officials in terms of what's going on in north korea is that the u.s. simply doesn't have all that much information about how the north korean regime is making its decisions right? so typically, when you're dealing in foreign policy, you have a lot of data points about who the
