Denucle Denuclearize News Today

Miscalculate. the question is, again, what will we command? what are we prepared to give up for it? at what point would we release sanctions? are the iranians willing to compromise? if it is like the north korea talks, guess what, it is. are we prepared to take half a loaf? they have to decide whether theyre prepared to take half a loaf. >> what is the outcome of the north korea talks so far? >> zilch because we made it all or nothing. all or nothing diplomacy, in history, ends up being nothing....

He made little movement indeed and the great worry is that to put it frankly, president trump is being naive that hes going to sleepwalk into a bad deal here that he sees these lovely beautiful letters as he calls them and hes fallen in love with kim jong-un. he mistakes that affection for some commitment to denuclearize. i think not a lot has change and some of the same worries we had for the singapore summit that we still have for this huddle in hanoi, katy. >> lets bring in our kourtney. kour...

For denuclearization. joining me now is hans nichols at the white house and bill neely whos in vietnam. what is happening in these interviewing months to make the second summit necessary? >> reporter: well, katie, to be honest, not a lot. in fact, almost nothing on denuclearization. i think there had been two trends. snuggling of lower levels of officials. kim wants to talk to president trump and nobody else. the other thing thats noticeable are some of the warnings from u.s. officials, c dan co...

Investigation is a nonstarter? >> in the end, its her under oath. lets have that. lets get her in front of congress. lets have her be able to tell her side of the story. chairman grassley said we can do it privately. well fly to california. thats what needs to help. lets stop delaying, playing into the democrat talking points of delay, delay, delay. holding this to the 11th hour. dianne feinstein was serious about this, this should have started 45 days ago when she got that letter. they werent s...

Stages to denuclearize. >> yeah, thats a step forward. we should give them credit for that. they have never committed independent inspectors before. what are we going to see? were going to see the destruction of a rocket engine test site and also a missile launch site used to put their satellites up in orbit. theyll have independent inspectors observing that. good thing. but its not disarmorment. its not nuclear weapons. its not ballistic missiles. and that clearly is the main issue. what weve b...

There is work left to do, but my counter part made a commitment consistent with what president trump was able to achieve with president kim. they intend to denuclearize, they plan to accomplish it. and now they are beginning to denucle denucle denuclearize. >> there have been no missile tests or research. they are blowing up another missile sight. they took down theirpropaganda. they turned off the music at the border. they have done a lot of things and we got back our three hostages, it is a go...

In his expression and his demeanor yesterday. >> what does that mean to your point that the south korean reporters at the last minute were invited back in? reporters can look at the dismantling but none of them are experts. theyll never know if theyve actually shut down all the sites or if there are sites within military bases. >> yeah. i think what will happen is there will be a negotiation, and if the momentum continues, there will be a set of formal arrangements that we would call verificatio...

Budgets anymore and more and more allies are at 2% of gdp for defense. but i also agree that we have to do more so allies will continue to work on defense spending because we need to invest more in our security when the world is more unpredictable, as it is today. we also support your efforts to try to find a peaceful and negotiated solution to the crisis on the korean peninsula. the aim should be to denucle denuclearize the korean peninsula, make sure there are no nuclear weapons there and stop...

It kims position to denucle denuclearize. if you listen to kim jong un, he said we dont need it anymore because our plans are complete. what gives you confidence that kim actually wants to take apart something that he just built? >> look, the president is going into this with eyes wide open, as he said many times, well see what happens. but this is certainly a process that has moved in the right direction. weve seen some signs of goodwill from north korea, just this week with the three americans...

Foreign policy this is not the way you interact with north korean, a will the of the presidents supporters can say hes doing something which is revolutionary and maybe it worked. >> and it really may be. it may be. this is a historic moment if this meeting actually occurs. it is a historic moment. you can look at it and say theyre unprepared for it or look at it and say they had to do something. so i think you -- but i think, you know, as ronald reagan once said trust but verify, you have to mak...
