Treated lightly and the redevil really is in the details so i hope the presidents team is really briefing it properly. i hope he doesnt go in and go naively because there is a real danger here a summit could conclude with very vague general approaches, no real commitments and certainly not a real clarification about the process going forward. if that doesnt happen, north korea will come out with a victorious hand. >> this is the 30th time that the two leaders are speaking to each other -- excuse...

Dialogue. the difficulty is this is the fifth time we have been down this road with the north korea apps. i think my counsel to the president, not that hes asked, is to be careful and not make any commitments. because in the past the north korea ans have been willing to make commitments which they have later just ignored. in the meantime, they get concessions of some kind. for example, a peace treaty, which has been talked about to end the armistice. call it a peace treaty, would be a win for no...

Then secretary and other top officials. >> iran will be denied access to the worlds most important markets. >> the report says in january 2016 iran complained about its nearly $6 billion stuck in an oman bank. one month later, the obama treasury department issued a license, allowing a transaction that federal government would otherwise prohibit. officials tried to persuade two u.s. banks to executed. the report says "both u.s. banks eventually declined primarily due to the unwillingness to take ...

Now in place, a new head of defense, new chief of general staff of the army a new director of the armys powerful political bureau. all more loyal to kim camillus consecutive >> this is a positive outcome. it would suggest that kim is positive about making real change. hes going to get rid of the people who disagree with that and it shows things could move forward. >> planning for the summit picking up steam. meeting along the dmz, the diplomatic teams. reportedly following up on last weeks meeti...

Significant commitments on the front end before any summit would take place. trump at one point tweeted that they agreed to denuclearize. trump is saying this is a get to know you meeting beyond those commitments on the front end. that is probably what is going to happen. it is hard to see commitments happening before june 12. clearly they are starting to recognize perhaps at the white house that this is going to be a long, long time coming. >> it is hard to argue that getting on a more predicta...

Discuss with dismantle. some veteran career watchers warn the president is making concessions without getting main commitments. >> it will be a beginning. i never say it happens in one meeting. you will have a very positive result in the end, not from one meeting. we are not going to go in and sign something on june 12. the process will begin on june 12 in singapore. >> the president doesnt say much there and says so m there. here is a person we know is hyperconfident in his ability to negotiate...

With japans defense minister, and it was japans defense minister on saturday who said what essentially what does president trump mean by not using this term extreme measures, what does he mean in terms of sanctions and it also said that the united states shouldnt sit down at the table with kim jong-un unless the north korean leader is putting more on the table in terms of his comprehensive complete irreversible verification of denuclearization. so united states allies in this case japan are prec...

That he doesnt know what is in it. we have a story on line right now that says that people that are familiar with what is in the letter say its anodized. pleasantries, im looking forward to seeing you, nothing that advanced the discussion of disarmorment. no commitments. no new suggestions of concessions by north korea. >> its weird. you dont often see -- people go into the white house. you dont see the president meet with somebody for 80 minutes and then walk them out of the white house. what d...

Whether theyre willing to give him incentives up front or have hard commitments. this is what they criticized the iran nuclear deal about, because they believe they gave all initiatives up front and didnt get all commitments. but north korea, its easy to believe they would denuclearize without some significant sanctions relief up front, and thats what the big risk is for the president. >> i want to show you these historic photos. this is madeline albright having a toast with the vice marshal of ...

Helpful if the president chooses to listen so hes not thrown off guard in any way. >> you would expect that one of the things that pompeo can get here is insight, right, to where kim jong-un is. he might be learning a lot of things he didnt know. >> absolutely. we have more data on kim jong-un and the north korean regime that we have gotten in the last month than we have gotten in the last ten years. part of it is that chairman kim does not travel or has not traveled outside of the country, and ...
