Page 2 - Summit Doesn T News Today

To is the idea that the aide said it was impossible to meet on june 12th. technically the aide didnt use the word impossible. he made it sound impossible but he didnt say the word "impossible" so if thats what the president meant, he could have tweeted that. instead he tweeted that the source didnt exist. its a really flagrant example of his problem with the truth. >> i doubt that if the summit doesnt end up taking place on june 12th that hell come back and say actually my aide was correct and t...

I actually think he gains from it. >> do you agree with that or is this has been a setback? >> no, no, i think he is showing that they have to show good faith and if theyre not going to do that, then never mind. i think its something that he should be proud of having done. paul: where does it go from here? restore maximum pressure if the summit doesnt come off and keep squeezing them? >> they have to keep maximum pressure. >> i hope theres plan b from secretary mattis. if the talks -- paul: mili...

Work together, but pompeo should take the lead. hes the one that knows kim jong-un. hes the one thats been there. he opened the intelligence channel. he should be given the main role. this is diplomacy, negotiations. >> if the summit does not happen, does that necessarily mean that we are headed to some sort of military action down the road? >> well, ive always said bloody nose theory early in the administration, the preemptive military strike, thats not going to work. i dont think thats a viabl...

Beijing with so much in play on the trade front on the economic front. >> absolutely. and you will also see i think china playing levers in the south china sea. over the last two weeks, as you know weve seen chinese bombers actually operating on these manmade islands throughout the south china sea. so china sees this as a larger game in the pacific, a long term geopolitical struggle really for dominance in that region. now, that doesnt mean were headed toward a war with china at all. i think our...

Coming to washington rather to meet with president trump. whos playing a bigger role here in whether or not these materialize? president moon or president trump? >> i would say right now its kim jong-un whos calling the tune. hes the one who is setting the terms and forcing everybody else to react. in fact, the reason that president moon is coming here is in part for he and president trump to figure out how to respond to the threat from north korea that theyre going to pull out of this summit. s...

Sanctions are working and people are desperate. the this guy if he upons survival needs to talk to the united states and the international community about denuclearization and opening up his economy to the rest of the world. >> john bolton was the one who offered it up and that was the model that theyre going to base it on? do you think it was a mistake? >> denuclearization for opening up because what didnt happen in libya is that gadhafi didnt improve in human rights and so forth and that was a...

Table. i think kim jong un thought he was holding all the cards. you could say i dont like bolton im not going to do this if you expect me to disarm. he is not holding the cards anymore because hes dealing with someone who was a pretty strong history of being a tough negotiator. i want to remind the media when youre president is going up against kim jong un, you should be rooting for your president. not surprising their behavior. i think donald trump is doing exactly what he should be doing. unf...

One we have by virtue of our concern about their nuclear weapons. i think the president has warped every ones perception of all of this. what he just said, this is a great set back for the world. well, if the summit is all of this, yes, it is. this kind of summit doesnt happen until later in the process or in kind of summit is a waving of the hands over the negotiators who as chris hill will know then go off and spend weeks, months, perhaps even years working out the details. big mistake to put ...

Xi, but fair trade is going to be fair to both sides. a $500 billion deficit is not fair to the people of america. >> the president said the libya model only kicks in if they dont come to the table and talk. we heard today, he said clearly, that he offered security, safety, to kim jong-un, because he doesnt want to end up like muammar qaddafi years after he gave up his nuclear weapons. in terms of that, if this summit doesnt happen, were back to aggressive military posture and options ha? >> the...
