Difficult position. they are enabling this administration. they are empowering it. you know, the hill investigations are moving slowly. so, this is all getting more and more delegate, you know, drip, drip, drip, this story, you know, it adds fuel to the fire. no proof of collusion to be fair to trump. theres no proof that, you know, donald trump may be speaking truthfully why didnt he disclose it earlier. trump wasnt disclose it, jared kushner was, and he only disclosed this meeting, according t...

German home soil by saying that. so absent here any talk as far as we know between the two men about consequences, but david rhode, this is another interesting moment about how vladimir putin actually described the demeanor of donald trump. >> translator: trump on tv is very, very different from the trump person that i saw. absolute big difference. he is very good interlocutor, he understand things very quickly. he responds to the questions which arise and discuss, so on and so forth. so it seem...

Korea and the cease-fire in syria as well, david rhode, cnn global affairs analyst is backs as is steve hall, cnn national security analyst and former c.i.a. chief of russian operations. and cnns nic robertson. david, to you first, when the president says prior to the meeting that theres something needs to be done. and there may be some successes. what are you expecting trump to be considering a win out of this meeting with xi? >> its not really clear to me and the whole broader dynamic of all t...
