That they hand over all their documentations, that they deport all their nuclear scientists, that they send their nuclear weapons to france to be dismantled before the u.s. would do anything. and what north korea is doing is reasserting its position that its made clear with the chinese, and the chinese agree with it, that its made clear to the south koreans and the south koreans agree with this, that this is a denuclearization of the peninsula, not a unilateral step first by north korea. and tha...

Libya-style denuclearization. in other words, that north korea give up everything all at once, that they hand over all their documentations, that they deport all their nuclear scientists, that they send their nuclear weapons to france to be dismantled before the u.s. would do anything. and what north korea is doing is reasserting its position that its made clear with the chinese, and the chinese agree with it, that its made clear to the south koreans and the south koreans agree with this, that t...

On boltons comments over the weekend that reference a libya-style denuclearization. in other words, that north korea give up everything all at once, that they hand over all their documentations, that they deport all their nuclear scientists, that they send their nuclear weapons to france to be dismantled before the u.s. would do anything. and what north korea is doing is reasserting its position that its made clear with the chinese, and the chinese agree with it, that its made clear to the south...

Koreans. they want u.s. troops off the peninsula. when this was raised by the top democrat on the committee today, this is what he had to say. >> this is one of the dumbest things ive ever seen in my 26 years of dealing with foreign policy between the house and senate. to suggest any inkling that you might move away from your security commitments to south korea is to send all the wrong messages, not only to north korea, but to our allies globally. >> okay. >> yeah. i mean, with these comments fr...

His national security team. a national security team that has, i think, handled the north korea situation commendably. they have increased international pressure. they have endorsed and continued to pursue, as tillerson said yes, diplomatic solutions, and of course on the defense front, you have secretary mattis is making sure that we can meet our security commitments there in the region. theyve done a good job trying to deal with what is definitely a much more urgent situation. i see the presid...

I dont understand where the presidents logic is here at all. i never understood the threats through his twitter account to china either. china is not going to be bullied into doing more and there is a real limit to what china can could. i agree they can do and should do more, but there is a limit on the kind of influence they have on pyongyang. tweeting this stuff out to south korea absolutely befuddles me. iron clad security commitments we have to meet to defend our south korean allies. while p...

Say unpopular things when politics is not necessarily their way. so there is quite a bit of irony here in that. thank you for that, live at berkeley where its just gone 18 minutes past 10. still to come here on cnn news room, the new u.s. defense secretary is on his first official overseas trip trying to reassure asian allies that washington will keep its security commitments. critics say the immigration ban wont protect america. it will have the opposite effect. ahead, whats showing up in...

We subsidized the armies of other countries for far too long. and we dont seek to impose our views on anyone. that also is something that vladimir putin will be glad to hear. poppy? >> jill doherty live for us in moscow. and not that far from the border. any talk along the border, with kim jong-un, whether theyre eager to test this new president? >> everybody has been watching to see whether or not kim jong-un will make some noise, but poppy, what we are hearing is the reaction in south korea be...

Weve heard mixed messages from president-elect trump and his picks to lead various national security departments including his defense pick. when it comes to the role of nato and russia, et cetera. nato is obsolete. its vital to american security. i asked vice president-elect pence, which is it? >> i think what the president-elect said in the course of the campaign is that nato has a role, but we need to do two things about nato that are very important. number one, we need to ask member nations ...

Peninsula as well as other operational and strategic assets in the region. were fully prepared to meet our security commitments under that alliance and nothings going to change about that. but im not aware of any new requests. >> john kirby, thank you so much. >> my pleasure, jake. in our politics lead, ted cruz might be done talking about his canadian birth, but donald trump definitely is not. and one other major republican is also announcing theres a legitimate question about cruzs eligibili...
