The president using camp david to help deepen ties between these two key allies, especially amid increasing provocative actions by china and north korea. Well bring you his remarks live. Plus, the atf now on the ground, joining the investigation in hawaii into what caused the fires on maui. More than 1,000 people are still missing. Crews have not even searched half of the burn zone. Lawyers for donald trump are pushing to delay his federal trial for more than two years. Well show you their legal arguments, why they are arguing to push it back, and whether the judge in the case will buy their reasoning. Were following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. At any moment, were expecting to hear from joe biden and the leaders of japan and south korea. Youre looking at a live picture right now of camp david. Today, they are making history, the firstever Trilateral Summit with those two countries. A place where so much history has made been in diplomacy through the years. The common goal, a show of younty and force in the face of a rising china and provocative Nuclear Armed north korea. Our correspondent joins us from camp david. Arlette, this is quite a moment to get these three countries together, unified in their views, certainly of china and north korea. How did this come about . Reporter yeah, jim. It really was once unimaginable, the idea that South Korea And Japan would be entering into a trilateral agreement with any country, given the years of mistrust and tension between their two countries. But in a short while, youll see the three appear here as they are meeting for their firstever Trilateral Summit. Joe biden praised this as a historic moment, arguing that the countries are stronger and the world will be safer as these three countries are now working together. The president is using the backdrop of this president ial retreat at camp david to broker and have this show of unity between the three countries, as they are dealing with increasingly provocative behavior from north korea, as well as china, which is continuing to assert its military and economic power in the region. As the result of this trilateral setup, we are expecting the leaders to make a few announcements, talking about ways that they are deepening their Defense Cooperation. Things like having annual military exercises, as well as regular Ballistic Missile drills together. Theyre also going to talk about Intelligence Sharing Agreements that they are coming to, and they are taking steps to set up a threeway hotline for the leaders to consult during times of crisis. They are also going to say that they are make thing summit an annual event, hoping that it will last into future administrations. One thing that is key here is that the announcements coming today are not exactly akin to that nato article v, which is an assurance that says an attack on one is an attack on all. You heard china criticize this alliance between the u. S. , South Korea And Japan. Officials announced that they are wanting to talk together when a country is facing a National Security threat. So well hear from both biden, as well as the president of south korea and Prime Minister k kishida as they lay out these historic moments. Camp david has been the site for so many high stakes diplomatic moments. Winston churchill was the first foreign leader to visit here with fdr. You had the Camp David Accords with jimmy carter, leading to a Peace Agreement between israel and egypt. Bill clinton tried to get a Peace Agreement here in 2000 but that did not forge ahead. Joe biden is hoping to make his own mark here at camp david and make the case that strengthened alliances are key to americas future. No question. So much history there. Arlette, thank you so much. The other big headline were following this hour, less than an hour from now, residents of lahaina are set to address how official responded and didnt respond to the wildfires in their community. At least 111 people now con confirmed dead. 1,000 or more could still be missing. Just shocking numbers. More and more pointed questions, including why mauis Warning Sirens were silent as the fires spread. The islands Emergency Management chief, herman endaya, resigned one day after defending the decision not to activate those sirens. Were also learning that the atf is on the ground joining in the investigation of the fires origins. Hard questions that need answers now. And a lot of people that need help. Lets discuss with a member of the maui county council. Thank you for sharing part of your afternoon with us today. What is it like on the ground ten days out from when this fire started . Aloha and thank you for having me. Right now on the ground, we still see a lot of our Community Being working really hard to support each other, getting out the supplies that are needed. We see the different islands sending boats with supplies. Everything that the west Side Community needs right now. You just see a tremendous amount of love and unity and aloha and support for each other. And its what we noeed right no. But i also wanted to share about the distress that is going on with some of what you just mentioned, about what the government is doing and how its responding or not responding, and the disparities that the different communities are being like how are they being treated . I wanted to give voice to our Native Hawaiians that are feeling like theyre that this is an attempt to erase our people to physically remove us, remove Native Hawaiians from the land. So that they can use this opportunity, this disaster to profit off of. Keani, youre speaking of predatory folks that are now showing up where people have lost property and theyre offering them a fraction of what their property is worth in order to take it on . That is exactly what im talking about. I guess this is called disaster capitalism, where, you know, they are using this disaster to as people are suffering from the trauma, and are in desperate condition to buy out property so that later they can build it for profit. And our governor just had our Water Director removed, the director on the commission of Water Resource Management. The community is just trying to, you know, deal with the aftermath of this fire and come together and its so inspiring. But now Community Leaders that have been supporting our community are now having to call on the governor to please reinstate him to the commission of Water Resource Management as the deputy director. Quickly, we are awaiting joe biden at the white house. Hes headed to hawaii on monday. What is your message to the white house . Mahala for everything theyre doing. To please work with our community. Our community is amazing, and to just support the Community Led efforts. And to please not let this become an opportunity for disaster capitalism. Keani, thank you for sharing your story with us today. We are set to hear from joe biden at any moment. We hope he has some words for the folks in maui. Jim . We are watching events at camp david, where joe biden is putting together the leaders bringing together the leaders of japan and south korea. The president of south korea, the japanese Prime Minister fumio kishida. The first time theres been a Trilateral Summit. The u. S. Has deep relations with South Korea And Japan, but South Korea And Japan have often had tense relations. The three coming together in a new military agreement. Not quite alliance, says the u. S. China has a different view. Joining me now are my guests. As we await the president s comments here any moment now, kim, the white house is say thing is not a mutual Defense Agreement with an article v express it ximt from the u. S. To go to the defense of japan and south korea, although the u. S. Has those individual agreements with each of those countries. China calls it a mini nato. What is it exactly . Nato is a treaty. This is not a treaty. Lawyers havent signed it on the dotted line, but there is going to be a hotline to call. So if there is a chinese invasion of taiwan, if there is some sort of issue between fishing ships, trollers and chinese ships that these countries get involved, they are s establishing a way to coordinate a response with each other. They have mutual concerns. North korean missiles, chinese economic predation. And also the war in ukraine. So there are ways they have aligned, and these three leaders are trying to make sure that they can make something stick out of this moment. Importantly, even though they overlap on so many areas, historically there have been a lot of disagreements with these two powers. Thats part of the reason this is so historic and a Pivotal Moment for joe biden. Sure. Look, you can credit the Biden Administration for helping bring these two American Allies with these deep historical differences together. But i think you can credit china and its actions here in asia, that it has worried powers like japan and south korea, who are traditionally trading partners with china. Its made them worried and realize they have to come together. North korea, also pursuing a Nuclear Weapons program, Firing Missiles that threaten both countries. Of course, russia invading ukraine and China Cozying up to russia. All of that has made the landscape in the region much more unpredictable. Thats part of what is bringing these three countries together like this. One of the big concerns, though, is all of the leaders involved here are having some problems in the polls at home. So a question is, how do you get the mechanisms that we are expecting they are going to agree on, to last if there is a change in power in seoul or tokyo or washington . One reason a priority is having established lines of communications, there have been a number of close calls short of war, but worries about esca escalations. You had a chinese warship cut off a u. S. Warship. You had a chinese aircraft coming quite close to u. S. Surveillance aircraft. Heres the chinese Warship Cutting off the u. S. Destroyer just a number of weeks ago. The concern is these small instances turn into something bigger. Lets go back to camp david where we sew joee joe biden approaching the podium with the leaders of South Korea And Japan. Theres a reason biden chose camp david. This is where jimmy carter sat down with israeli and egyptian leaders to seek peace. This comes at an important time when there are key questions about chinas economic future, so look forward perhaps to some conversation about the Economic Security of these two powers and their relationship with the United States, as well. As china weakens economically, it becomes more dangerous. Lets listen to the president and the leaders of japan and south korea. Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to camp david. If i seem like im happy, its because i am. This has been a great, great meeting. Mr. President , mr. Prime minister, i we meet in this Historic Place to make an historic moment. And i believe that to be true. This is a new era in partnership between japan and the republic of korea and the United States. Our new camp david trilat, thats what we have here. But before we dive into the progress we have made today, we used to say in the senate, appointed personal privilege, i want to express my appreciation for the contribution that your countries have made toward the relief following the devastating wildfires in hawaii. I want to thank you both. On behalf of the american people. I also want to note that my team is closely monitoring hurricane hillary, which is has the potential to bring significant rain and flooding to southern california. Fema is ready to respond as needed. I urge everyone, in the path of this storm, to take precautions and listen to the guidance from state and local officials. And you have heard me say it before, the republic of korea and japan are capable and indispensable allies. Now to the purpose of why were here. Americas commitment to both countries is iron clad. And my personal commitment to bringing these three nations together was real from the very beginning. Sense last summer, weve met on the margins of the nato summit in spain i, the asean summit in cambodia, and the g7 summit in japan. Today, we made history. Were the firstever stand alone summit between the leaders of our three countries. As well as our commitment to meet together on a leader level annually, and to have all of our relative cabinet member people eat on a regular basis from this point on. Not just this year, not next year, but forever. Thats the intention. And so i want to recognize the important work that both of you have done. And the political courage, and i mean this sincerely, the political courage that you have both demonstrated to resolve difficult issues that stood in the way for a long time of a close relationship between japan, south korea, and the United States. Your leadership, with the full support of the United States, has brought us here. Because each of you understands that our world stands at an inflection point. A point where were called to lead in new ways to Work Together, to stand together, and today, im crowd to say our nations are answering proud to say our nations are answering that call. First, were elevating our trilateral Defense Cooperation to the indopacific region, that includes launching annual, multidomain military exercises, bringing our Trilateral Cooperation to unprecedented levels. Were doubling down on information sharing, including on dprks Missile Launches and cyber activities. Critically, critically, we have all committed to swiftly consult with each other in response to threats to any one of our countries from whatever surs that occurs. That means well have a hotline to coordinate our responses when there is a crisis in the region or affecting any one of our countries. Today, we have all reaffirmed our shared commitment to maintain peace and stability in the taiwan straits, and addressing economic coercion. Were going to continue encountering threats from the dprw to the tune of billions. Potential arms transfer in support of russias war against ukraine. Together, well stand up for international law, freedom of navigation, and a peaceful resolution of disputes in the south china sea. Second, were expanding our Economic Cooperation to build an indopacific that is peaceful and prosperous. Today, we have committed to launch a new what we call a supply chain Early Warning system. It will alert our nations to disruptions of certain products and materials, like Critical Minerals for batteries so we can get ahead of the issues as they appear with the experience that we have experienced with the during the pandemic. Excuse me, this is falling off. There you go. And building on the g7 Led Partnership for Global Infrastructure and investment. Were deepening cooperation between our development of Financial Institutions to mobilize more financing for quality infrastructure, and secure communications technology, to help low and middle Income Countries throughout the region, take on the challenges as a matter of most of their people. And finally, our partnership is about building a better futch you are for our people. Thats why we are deepening our cooperation on Global Health and launching a trilateral Expert Exchange in support of the moon shot initiative. Thats going to change cancer as we know it. It matters a great deal to me and families across the three countries. In the United States, we are revolutionizing the way we do cancer research. Together, the three of us im confident we can harness our innovation and end cancer as we know it. Were launching a new collaboration between our National Laboratories and advance our science, knowledge and Technological Capabilities together. As we do, well work in lock step to set standards, including artificial intelligence, which a lot of work has to be done. Let me close with this. Mr. President , mr. Prime minister, this is the first summit ive hosted at camp david as president. I can think of no more fitting location to begin our next era of cooperation. A place that has long symbolized the power of new beginnings and new possibilities. In the months and years ahead, well continue to seize those possibilities together, unwaivering in our unity and unmatched in our resolve. This is not about a day, week, or month. This
