Page 2 - The Interpreters News Today

Committee for the house wants to get a hold of these notes, the interpreters. where do you see this headed? >> its going to be a difficult thing. i think that this has renewed the sense of urgency among some in congress to try to get to the interpreters. they are the only american witnesses to some of these conversations between trump and putin. and so they are the only ones you can turn to aside from the president himself to figure out what happened. but theres a difficulty because interpreters...

That hes not working with allies and being too friendly and kind to someone like kim jong un. heres a statement, top democrats saying "we are deeply concerned by the administrations sidelining of diplomacy and -- the president alienated our closest friends at a time when the united states should be affirming the western alliances is a cornerstone of global security." what do you make about? >> i didnt like all of the tone of the g7. people who said something about so-and-so who is going to rot i...

Care about is style, not substance. they are more concerned about diplom niceties in the real lives of working americans. >> shannon: the numbers do not lie. cold, hard facts and data. people want to disagree about who is responsible, they are happening on this presidents watch. steven hilton, thank you so much. >> great to be with you. >> snnon: when we return, the working lunch between the leaders. they could appear at any time and speak. we are going to share the menu with you. i hope they ar...

Not particularly friendly. >> shannon: a little bit of a rough patch. john roberts live in singapore. thank you. some say president trumps criticism of the g-7 is unprecedented. my next gas says hes doing what his base elected him to do. steve, great to see you. you say its no surprise. this is what he talked about on the campaign trail. >> not just the importance of delivering the promises he made politically. perhaps more important, this is the right thing to do in the interests of not just pe...

>> shannon: thats what he promised during the campaign. the millions of people who voted for him voted for this. negotiating like a businessman, a tough negotiator. most of them are not surprised by the development. will you stick around and come back for an extended coverage. >> as long as there is pizza, i will do anything. >> shannon: pizza just for you. tell us what youant. thanks. stick around. more on the historic summit coming up. presidents critics accusing him of going it alone and not ...

Many twists and turns that werent exactly scripted or on the schedule. and thats fine, we are trying to watch what these two sides are doing. david mcnamara writes this. there are several people on the white byline. like gaps remain about what verification means. pompeo told reporters that the administration is prepared to sit provide security a assurance is unle any that the previous administrations have offered. we talk about his estimated age, 34, hes very young in this process. he wants the ...

A lot of it is good old-fashioned lost in translation stuff. its incredibly difficult process and, back to ronald reagan, it was trust, but verify. without the robust methodology to have people there and looking to make sure, i understand why congress whether its house republicans are house democrats, the entire bipartisan bodies, ar concerned about it. someone will have to hold their feet to the fire and there was concern that president trump may not do it for the sake of just having to deal. >...

Apparently said that many will look at this summit as if it were science-fiction. because on all sides, and a lot of people didnt think this was going to happen. what will be interesting, shannon, is the details. the devil is always in the details. denuclearization is going to be a lot to get across the finish line, and it may take many meanings. this being the first. will see. >> shannon: interesting because everybody is talking about the fact that, how do you define it? defining denuclearizati...

It is clear that kim jong un was enjoying that charm. but from the beginning, the present has made no qualms about it. he made it very clear that this is not an easy thing and that the whole thing might fail. he might walk away and this is going to be the one shot you have at doing this. he said that to kim jong un. i do think that there has b a healthy dose of realism at all levels of the administration from the very beginning. >> shannon: i want to bring gabby back in from singapore. we heard ...

Returned basically near death. its not uncommon for the administration to want to bifurcate human rights and a thorny topic. otherwis comes u with the chinese a lot. otherwise they say, see yeah. its a hard line to walk. s unclear that president trump is making much of an effort to walk that line, because while he doesnt have to sit there and say, okay, can come up before you start, i want to tell you that you are really mean to people. he also doesnt have to make comments about kim being a good...
