People so -- >> how long have you been waiting? >> two hours. >> thanks for talking us to. we appreciate it. gives you an idea. there is a palpable excitement out here at the idea the american president is now here, kim jong-un is here in hanoi and the idea there may be some peace. a lot of hard work needs to be done but people from vietnam who saw their country wracked by war for so long. theyre excited at least about the prospect for peace, sandra. >> sandra: ed henry on the ground in hanoi an...

Chairman kim this could be his if. >> i think thats absolutely clear. we have done a lot of work leading up to the summit to make that point. there is a trade-off here. if kim jong-un is willing to take steps towards denuclearization there could be benefit for him. winston churchill said it is better to meet jaw to jaw than beating at war. >> were glad youre safe. you were walking through traffic. a little crazy around here. a broader context to the economic market situation. 2/3 of the economic...

Communist system they have access to almost the same information we do. i cant emphasize enough how significant that is for people all over the world and to see it in realtime now is really quite something. that is in my view the most significant change. >> sandra: you see a lot of anticipation for this summit to be happening? >> bill: big time. theyre ready for this and about to get underway, too. we came to see this. it is about to go down. our coverage of this highly-anticipated second summit...

The president arriving 30 minutes ago. historic second summit with the north korean leader will take place this week in the vietnamese capital. they hope to find a path forward toward denuclearization. both sides trying to find a win. you can look throughout the town of hanoi, its vibrant, fast and alive and something else to see. we went looking a bit earlier today as to where these two leaders might find themselves face-to-face in 24 hours. they have spruced up hanoi with flags hanging everywh...

Being given too many promises in exchange for doing nothing, at least at the moment. a lot of talk in south korea you mentioned this at the top, bill, in recent days, about the two leaders potentially signing an agreement to end the war. critics say that north korea is not negotiating to come up with an agreement to end its nuclear program. north korea is negotiating to preserve its way forward. to preserve its survival and that something has to change. there is an expectation by many north kore...

Its always the jeopardy, can you trust their testimony a second time around when they are a convicted liar? >> sandra: well talk with andy mccarthy on this and more. in hanoi president trump landed a few moments ago and en route to his hotel for the evening. well go behind the scenes with bill. he is there in vietnam right now as our coverage rolls on. >> president trump: i think we can have a very good summit. i think well have a tremendous summit. we want denuclearization and i think he will h...

Economy. >> bill: what is your level of confidence that chairman kim is ready to deal, michael? >> i think my sense is that chairman kim is probably not ready to deal. he wants to probe our side first. the north korean playbook has always been ratchet up tension, be very provocative. scare everybody and then cool off, come to the table and see what concessions you can extract. we had a summit last year. he didnt really extract concessions from our side. but he also didnt resume testing or the pr...

That peninsula which would certainly involve the chinese military would be horrific and i commend the president for trying something that so many other administrations have kicked the can down the road on. but we do have i think two big disconnects. one is the timeline. i would remind everyone that secretary pompeo, when he was head of the c.i.a. said time was not on our side. the north koreans were marching towards a fully capable icbm in the next year. that was a year and a half ago. i am in a...

Kind of economic activity and by the way, were hearing that there is a u.s./vietnamese trade deal cooking while president trump is here. chairman kim, if you dont want to walk through the door and take this door weve opened for you as john bolton has said. were getting more american trade deals while were here. were in. >> bill: the tweet from the president 30 minutes ago. just arrived in vietnam. thank you to all the people for the great reception in hanoi. great crowds and so much love. the vi...

Succeeding with north korea because it will only showcase their mistakes. >> the other crime that president trump is committing is brought to success and highlighting how everyone else has failed. thats what the democrats have always been afraid of from the start, if he is successful, deny success because they would have to explain why they didnt get it. this is an example of that and clearly thinks approach, we will start war, stop this way, its all part of the package of negotiating what i thi...
