Page 3 - Summit Itself News Today

Are firmly in check. i dont think this will be an exact replay of the first summit because there was a general feeling that very little happened there beyond the fact of the summit itself, that north korea has not delivered on denuclearization. and president trump is desperate for foreign policy success. he really, really wants to audiocassette away from hanoi and proclaim he has a great deal. i would expect there be more action, at least cosmetically. i think theres a good chance youll see a pe...

Important summit. there are many issues at play that we just spoke about with our correspondents. but the broader question here, how important is this for president putin? because surely he has been focused on raising russias stature, a position to be key in world affairs, world issues. does this execute that strategy? >> well, of course. i mean, by virtue of having the summit itself, by virtue of the fact that it was trump who was making these overtures to put tine a -- putin all along there ar...

Results, but so far hes leaving the meeting in canada without any substantiative changes to big trade deals like nafta, and, ana, hes leaving with the very real threat the u.s. is on the verge of a trade war with some of its most important and reliable partners in the global community. >> as we mentioned, he left early after arriving late two days in a row. what is the big take away now from the g7? >> well, the big question, ana, is how this -- how these global partners respond to the president...

We have a president in donald trump who will follow through and so i would anticipate that meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo that indeed the efforts will be made to have the summit. the summit itself, the concept ofist is an achievement for donald trump. >> julie: as the summit is looking more and more likely to happen can the u.s. trust north korea on any promises made today and moving forward? >> what sadly as we saw with the murder of otto warmbier were dealing with a dictatorship. ...

I said of all of the national security problems, this administration has handled, they have done the best with north korea. has it been perfect, no? the policy has been a little bit wavering at times. they have worked together, even with the previous team, when tillerson was there, to solve this problem. i give them high marks for that, for taking it as seriously as they are, for laying this ground work, for secretary pompeos direct involvement. all that gives me a sense of optimism the summit w...

As originally scheduled. and this u.s. delegation is now in north korea to plan for that summit. what are you learning about all of this? >> well, rosemary we know about the u.s. delegation that its headed up by a man kim song. he is u.s. ambassador to the philippines. but he was an ambassador here in south korea. he was one of the point people that washington had when they were negotiating with north korea in previous years. so he has experience of talking to the north koreans. he knows how dif...

Other rogue actors that you can blackmail the united states with a nuclear weapons program. now that the president is committed to the summit itself, i dont know that its possible to get back on track. what people dont realize about these summits, leaders dont show up and have a conversation and see where it goes. you choreograph all the outcomes that you expect to happen. and especially in this case its likely if it works or appears to possibly work be a multiround type of scenario. they meet o...

Said im not going to talk about that. a possible reduction of u.s. troop levels in south korea be on the table. he said im not going to talk about that. kim jong-un will have adequate protection. so we dont know how far down that road hes going to go in terms of security guarantees. sounds like this situation will be different than it was in libya between 2003 and 2011. as to the summit itself, the president seemed to suggest that despite the rhetoric that weve heard out of pyongyang in recent d...

Still a number of protesters sitting in the crosswalk so its going to take them a while to move them out. i think thats why they brought the water cannon as a sort of last resort to push them out. >> atika, help me if i can just jump in. help us understand, for people who dont know hamburg and the area, how far are these protesters actually from the summit itself, from these high-level meetings? >> reporter: this is about three kilometers from the messa, which is the conference center with the g...

To get on one page have better relations with the u.s. i think that will go forward. but this summit itself, im not sure how many actual deliverables there could be when the leaders of those countries arent standing around with president obama. >> elise, thank you very much. next nine years on television now "american idol" gets set for its swan song. but why dim the lights on such a game-changing reality show? well talk about that. also michelle obama really opening up about race. the first l...
