at. he weirdly, brooke, for someone who is so all over the place message-wise, he s incredibly on message about certain things. no collusion, electoral college, democrats, we ll see what happens. it s like a mantra. and yet on other things he s all over the map. totally. we ll see what happens. chris, thank you so much. president trump s new national security adviser just raised the prospect of a walkout in the middle of the high-stakes talk with north korea s leader kim jong un. it sheds some light on why the president said something similar. if i think that it s a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we re not going to go. if the meeting when i m there is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting. with me now cnn s chief international correspondent
