For u.s. and japan and a threat to the entire region. the real question is donald trump, just being nice to kim jong-un, can achieve a declaration, a removal of all the weapons. the lifting of sanctions isnt different this time. one thing is this bromance, this effort to try to gain kim jong-uns trust. dictators generally dont trust anybody. im not clear if this will lead to a denuclearization agreement. >> wendy sherman, you negotiated in the past i was with you in pyongyang and again at the st...

That very little really was accomplished in this meeting that weve learned about so far. even though the two men met for about 50 minutes behind closed doors privately, that meeting did not seem to produce anything concrete in the way of working out these details as relates to denuclearization of the korean peninsula. so there seems to be quite a bit of work left to be done there, but president trump and kim both framed this meeting as a breakthrough in the sense that both men have reconnected o...

The talks which have been interrupted for a while. it is a very big deal. i think that is a banner headline from this. i think everybody is going to be pleased at that, no promises, no deal made, no timetable, i want to emphasize that, president said several times, this is about the quality of the deal, no timetable, no rush, he is comfortable where he is in any case. i think coming back we will resume the talks, the two teams will begin together in tariffs will not be race, there will be no lif...

He pompeo. >> that remains to be seen. i would suggest that the two sides try to come to the end state. in the meantime, its important that they try to strike small deals, many deals, to get the process going. >> tell us where they need to get going? >> the north is not willing to accept anything but the complete lifting of key u.n. sanctions. this is where the north, in americas point of view, will

Track. the president also appeared, and i stress appeared, to give a little bit of ground on this sequencing of what the lifting of sanctions would look like. he said sanctions are still in place, but they could be lifted during the negotiations. thats a potential possibility. that marks a shift from president trump. one thing that is clear in all of this is that the president, even though he only has 18 months left in his first term, it is clear hes not feeling forced by the clock. >> the meeti...

For now, if strategic patience was used in previoused is administrations, what do you call what president trump uses? the only thing that the president asked for was a lifting of the sanctions. he is feeling the pressure from sanctions. and then, i would call it personal engagement in the personal camp bain by -- in the presidenti president alaial camp an -- >> they are walking now, you see

Kim jong-un was going to put on the table to sort of deal that might get him relief from sanctions. it might indicate a tangible step. he was going to shirt and dismantle then nuclear facility. this is something south korea was pushing for a long time of and president moon discussed in that press conference. it may lead to the lifting of some sanctions. so kim came to the hanoi summit and put that on the table thinking he was going to get relief from sanctions. but in the run-up to that we learn...
