And it will be verified. All this brings me to cnns kaitlan collins. Certainly a remarkable day and were seeing kim jongun, now his motorcade about to leave for the airport, President Trump obviously has already left. Question, of course what if anything is going to come out of this longterm . Reporter thats the question here. Is this just something symbolic or did we get concrete commitments in this agreement that President Trump and kim jongun both sign. They sign this agreement in front of the cameras, after they met one on one and also with their advisers. This is a statement that the president touted as this big comprehensive statement, said they made significant amount of progress and then we actually looked through the statement and it is not compreh and there is not any new language in it about what exactly the president and kim jongun were putting their names on paper for and what it was going to signify in the future. And then the president held the lengthy press conference where he took reporters questions for over an hour, going through what his day with kim jongun was like, what it was like to meet him, what they discussed. Now, the president during that press conference offered up praise for the north korean dictator, someone who has executed members of his own family, has starved his own people in favor of building up a nuclear nal, he called him a talented guy, and a reporter asked him, what he meant by that. He is very talented. Anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough. I also will be invitie ining chn kim to the white house at propriate time. I think it is something that will be very important. And he has accepted. I said, at the appropriate time. We want to go little bit further down the road. Reporter so the president , anderson, there turning that question about his human rights abuses into flattery for the north korean dictator, saying hesoing to invite him not only to the United States, but to the white house. So thats a separate matter. But then back to the statement, what the overarching outcome of this summit is going to be, still largely up for debate. What is remarkable about this statement that the president signed today is n whats in it, it is what is in it. Th president said this means there is going to be denuzation of the north korean of the korean peninsula, but he doesnt really say how were going to get there. There is no mention in this statement that the president signed of those terconti ballistic there iothing about how hes going verify that north korea has denuclearized and nothing about them going in there, nothing about these inspector sites and no timetable here, anderson. So it seemed like a photo of opportunities for theresident today, but we dont know what the real results of this are going to be. Yeah, certainly seems a lot is left up to secretary of state pompeo and future negotiations. Kaitlan collins, appreciate that. Poppy . The president is pledging to end what he calls those war games, along the korean peninsula. Just listen to the president this morning. We will b stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money unless and until we see the negotiation is not going along like it should. Those socalled war games are u. S. Military drills with south korean forces. Pyongyang has long considered them a dress rehearsal for ot a. Pentagon correspondent barbara star joins me now. This is a huge concession from the united es, something that north korea really wanted, something that china likes to see. So what is the pentagon saying about it this morning . Reporter well, poppy, from the pentagon point of view, anything tt reduces tensions with north korea is a good thing. I think everyone agrees onthat. But as for these training exercises that the president calls provocations and war games, lets remember where they came from. These have been developed over decades to help train to defend south korea in the face of a north Korean Nuclear threat, these are defensive exercises. You know, the president talked about bombing empty mountains, thats because it is training, theyre n active targets. This is something that is being very carefully watched by china, the next major training exercisn august, with several allies in the region, up to 17,000 troops participating in that. The pentagon right now trying to figure out the way ahead. Are all exercisesalled off now . Is it forever . Is it while the negotiations are going on . Is it small exercises, large exercises, how does it impact the allies . And if you are going to call off all training, what happens to the 28,000 or so u. S. Troops in south korea, what happens to troops that go into south korea fo this training . Are they just going t stop all of it poppy. Barbara, inow you clarifiedf if south koreaven knew that this was going to happen. I also want to ask you about what the president repeated a lot this morning in the press conference, he talked about the fact that chairman kim had agreed to destroy what the president calls a major missile engine testing site. And he says that agreement to destroy that missile testing site is not in the framework on paper, but that it is a big deal. Is it . Is it a win for the u. S. . Reporter well, we will have to see, i think. The u. S. Position is irreversible denuclearization, irreversible. That is a pretty tough standard can tak ap a missile test stand, for example, rip up the concrete pad, take out all the instrumentation, destroy what equipment is left behind. But, you still have your engineers and sorry to interrupt. Were going liste to Mitch Mcconnell, senator Mitch Mcconnell speaking on the senate floor about north korea, the Senate Majority leader. Lets listen. Resolving the 65yearold International Challenge will take a great deal of hard work. As President Trump explained a few hours ago, today is the beginning of the arduous process. Our eyes are wide open. I support the goals contained in the joint statement and i remain supportive of the administration stated position as secretary pompeo has reiterated, the goal of the United States is the, quote, complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsul korea does willing to follow through, we and our allies must be prepared to restore the policy of maximum pressure. Today i congratulate the president on this major step, and share his hope that it will begin a process that leads to an hist peace. Now, madam president , on a related matter, history clearly shows us that skillful diplomacy, global peace, and a strong American Military are in no way opposed to one another. Quite the opposite. These components of americas strength are complementary. As president reagan explained, quote, peace does not exist of its own will. It depends on us, on our courage to build it, and guard it, and pass it on to future generations. And yesterday afternoon the senate took a step toward doing just that by turning to the john s. Mccain 2019 National Defense authorization act. This legislation builds on the landmark bipartisan budget Agreement Congress and the president reached there you have Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell on the senate floor this morn congratulating the president on what he calls a major step, congratulating him on the diplomacy and reiterating i think what everyone hopes, anderson, that is that this leads to a lasting peace between the two nations, anderson. Want to break this down now with former u. N. Ambassador, former new mexico governor bill richardson, senior gbal Affairs Analyst joseph yun. Your take on what came out of this summit today. Well, reduction of tensions in the korean peninsula, thats very positive. Road to normalization of the relationsh, two leaders but it is a start of a good. Negotiation. But i didnt see much meat on the bones or hardly any on the issue of missile technology, missile negotiations, nuclear negotiations. I didnt see anything on the peace treaty. I think it was lacking in the human rights area. I was pleased with the discussion of the importance of retrieving some of our remains from north korea. There is about 5,000, a lot of families are trying to get them ba i brought back seven in 2007, under the bush administration. So positive on the tone and diplomacy, but lacking and mixed on the substance. And, you know, the north koreans, ive negotiated with them, they always want you to go first. And we did go first by reducing or suspending the military exercises, then they say theyre going to do something, sometimes they do it, other times they dont do it, they never say yes or no. So their negotiating strategy on this initial discussion worked. Ambassador yun, we have been talking about this. To governor richardsons point, a lot of the language that came out of today is actually less specific than language we have seen in other deals that have been negotiated in the past. I completely agree with that assessment. You know, it was an amazing day today. We had two halves, i would say, we had all the pageantry summit and two arch enemies getting together, and a warm feelin feeling almost envelopinghe two. We were looking forward to so what did they actually accomplish and we looked forward to seeing the declaration. But as the governor says, there was no meat in it, you know . And all the language was repetition of previous language. So, of course, we have to judge the outcome, there is still time. Lets hope the meetings that the president says will start next week will provide something. But i must say, i was a little surprised at the kind ofing of joint exercise. That caught you by surprise. It really did. I mean, it is something, you know, as governor richardson knows well that they have always asked for. But what is the point of having troopsf theyre not ready. They dont exercise. That begs the question, you know, what did it mean . Did it mean all exercise, some exercise . So again that needs to flushed out. T is interesting that the president looks those exercises as being costly as them being an expense, and a question of saving money, even talked about theultimately removing troops from south korea. Obviously thats a not sure how much of that the South Koreans were aware of advance, but that would be certainly an enormous step. Right. And im concerned on two fronts. One, we obviously didnt consult the South Koreans on this because of their statement that they issued saying they clarification. That always means in the diplomatic lingo, youer t to us. And secondly, you know, this is a significant concession. Because what youre doing is this is not something that we have as a giveaway to the South Koreans. This is u. S. National security. This is to contain china, this is to send messages that were engaged in asia. Relationship with japan and y south korea. So this enhances America National security, it is not like a cost issue as you mentioned. The president is always wanting to reduce troops in germany, he wants to reduce troops in south korea, all around the world, but, you know, reducing troops is something that is not in the National Security interests of the United States. Were protecting our flanks from china, from russia, from other countries that generally have geopolitical interests, opposite of ours. Ambassador yun, stunning to hear the president in his press conference afterward praising the dictator of north korea, talking about how few people could have done what he did coming into power at 26, and that, you know, that he did it in a tough way. I mean, he executed members of his family, there are tens of thousands of people in gulaglike prisons, the u. N. Put out a report years ago saying there is atrocities that take place in north korea have no equal anywhere else in any other country in the world. Yeah. I mean, you know, as a diplomat, we got to talk to everyone. So i can understand not wanting to criticize publicly, but it seemed a little far fetched to go beyond that and to praise him, you know. Thats something i think certainly as an american diplomat you want to avoid. You know, you dont want to criticize your negotiating with him, but to praise him, i think thats a little too far. Ambassador yun, appreciate it. Governor richardson, as well. Ppy . Still to come, President Trump says he trusts kim jongun, kim jongun trusts him. Could this gamble back fire . Also, it is a lasting image from the g7 summit, the german chancellor seemingly facing off with President Trump, but the president explained this picture in detail this morning, what he says was really going on next.

Kim jongun is heading to the airport any minute here in singapore, Paula Hancocks is at the airport, joining us now. Paula, what do the north Korean People at this point know about the summit, because unlike past events that kim jongun has gone to, north korean media has been following this almost in real time, talking about an event while kim jongun is still at the event, which is very rare. Thats right, anderson. They knew ahead of time that he was coming to the summit, which shows there was a certain amount of confidence that this was going to go well. All that the north Korean People so far have seen is his walkabout last night around singapore, the fact that he was walking around, he was being greeted by singaporeans tourists shouting out welcome, kim. They saw that part where he was looking fairly president ial, being shown around the town by the singaporean foreign minister. They havent seen the summit as yet. So they havent seen how it has gone. Very interesting to see exactly how they play it, whether they see this as a success for kim jongun, clearly thats the way they will tell their people it was, but it is also the way many people around the world see this, as a success for the north korean leader. It is not unusual, though, for it to take a little time. Usually about 24 hours or so for this to reach the living rooms of those in north korea. But clearly the camera men from north korea have been following every single move of the north korean leader. We should expect to see that soon. Paula,s someone based in this region and who has been following this obviously for so long, im wondering what you make of what we witnessed today, the declaration that was signed by both leaders and also the praise that President Trump had for the dictator of north korea. Reporter well, i think the process was quite remarkable. I think we all knew this was going to be about two big personalities. This potentially was going to pivot on whether or not the leader of north korea and the leader of the United States got on a human level. We heard from the u. S. President that he was going to go on his gut instinct and would know in the first minute if he would get on with kim jongun and make peace. It is interesting the optics of this. After the meeting it was picture perfect, the optics of this have been quite remarkable. The fact the two seem to be getting on, the declaration not so much. We have seen that kind of language before. We didnt see the words complete irreversible or verifiable in the declaration. So those are things that north korea has agreed to before this complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. But one thing paula, let me tell you that paula, let me just tell you that kim jongun is i know youre at the airport, kim jongun now, were just seeing his motorcade leaving the st. Regis hotel, so well be heading toward the airport where you are, so those are the picks, i want to let our viewers know that were looking at. Go on, paula. Reporter yes. I was going to say, anderson, one thung i was very surprised about, i think many people were was the fact that the u. S. President said there wouldnt be war gamdz as es as he put them. Ive been covering the joint exercises for many years. They have been going on for decades, both militaries saying theyre necessary for battle readiness. Not saying theyre against north these two militaries need to be in tandem. I spoke to someone at u. S. Forces korea, they werent aware of it. I think that really stood out for me. Obviously well see how that plays out in the coming days and weeks. Paula hancocks, thank you very much. Were going to continue looking at those pictures because we do have kim jonguns motorcade leaving the st. Regis hotel, heading to the airport as well. I believe we have that. But the president this morning at the same time is using words like talented and worthy to describe
