You are talking about years of hostility, years of problems, years of really hatred between so many different nations. President trump met with north korean vice chairman kim yongchol for more than an hour yesterday. The president says they talked about many things including sanctions and denuclearization. Mike, the president said that he explained that removal of sanctions would only happen if they were willing to denuclearize. At this point it is still incredibly unclear if thats something north korea would ever agree to. The president did say that he hopes eventually he can remove sanctions that are on north korea. Mike . Mike Ellison Barber leading us off from the north lawn of the white house, ellison, many thanks. You bet. Mike one issue that wont be up for negotiation on june 12th is the number of american troops stationed in south korea. Thats according to defense Secretary Mattis, who says the deployment is strictly between the u. S. And seoul. Garrett tenney has more from washington. Garrett . Theres an important clarification that Secretary Mattis made today. There are currently 28,000 american troops stationed in south korea and in previous negotiations the north has pushed for the u. S. To remove its forces from the korean peninsula. Not even a month ago President Trump appeared to be considering that idea as well when he ordered the pentagon to come up with options for reducing u. S. Forces in south korea. Today, though, Secretary Mattis said those options would only be considered down the road after north korea makes significant changes. We can reduce the threat, restore measures with something verifiable, then of course these kinds of issues could come up subsequently, that issue was not on the table here in singapore. Secretary mattis also had some tough words for china today on the disputed south china sea. He promised there would be consequences. Further complicating the u. S. China relationship are the ongoing negotiations over trade and the looming trade war which has been put on hold. Those issues are important because china is going to play a big role in any deal with north korea. On friday, President Trump said the June 12th Summit with kim jongun is likely just the start of a much longer negotiation process, and china is expected to use its weight in those negotiations to affect policy else where. Mike . Mike Garrett Tenney reporting from washington. Thank you. You got it. Mike lets bring in Contributing Editor the free beacon and the Weekly Standard. Daniel, great to see you. Great to see you. Mike President Trump meets with a top figure in north korean regime more than an hour now the Singapore Summit is back on. Are you surprised . I dont think anything really surprises me at this point but just because it is back on id caution doesnt mean it is going to happen as it is now scheduled. There is a lot of time between now and june 12th. This thing sort of came up out
suggests theres a whole range of outcomes that we cant necessarily conceive of at this point. It could be that north korea it comes out it is no longer the Hermit Nation but of course it sides with russia. It could mean a variety of things that were not able to conceive of at this moment. I do think yeah hes right to be hey what is going on there and wonder is it good for the United States or not . Mike in fact, kim jongun has complained about possibly the u. S. Having too much power and reports say he told Sergey Lavrov that he hopes to boost cooperation with russia. How alarmed should u. S. Officials be about that . I think, you know, you want to be alarmed in the sense that this could mean bad things going forward, but i dont think you want to panic. Panic means you go into the Singapore Summit and you make a bad deal. President trump doesnt want to do that. I think you just take it easy, take it slow, see how things go, but dont get alarmed. Just be aware that this could have different outcomes. That seems to me the most reasonable approach. You know, take it easy. Nothing is going to happen in
the next few days. Take it slow. Mike daniel from the Weekly Standard and free beacon. Many thanks. Thank you. Mike u. S. Delegation back in beijing to talk trade as concerns of an all out trade war escalate. The negotiations coming after the white house moved to revive the threat of tariffs on chinese imports and slapped canada, mexico and eu with steep metal tariffs. We have more. Commerce secretary ross is in beijing trying to substantially change the trade relationship between the United States and china. The Commerce Secretary is reportedly scheduled to have dinner with chinas lead negotiator, vice premier tonight and then another meeting with him tomorrow. The Trump Administration says it wants china to dramatically reduce its 375 Billion Dollars trade surplus with the u. S. The president wants to cut that gap 200 Billion Dollars by 2020. The administration also wants china to allow american businesses greater access to its economy. Earlier this week, the white
house said it is moving forward implementing tariffs later this month on up to 50 Billion Dollars in chinese imports and restricting certain chinese investments in the United States. China responded saying it doesnt want a trade war though it is prepared to fight one. The u. S. This week also imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium from canada, mexico, and the European Union. Beyond economic and trade differences, the u. S. And china are also at odds over chinas military construction on a disputed area of the south china sea. Speaking in singapore, defense secretary james mattis urged china to change its behavior. There are consequences that will continue to come home to roost, so to speak, with china if they do not find a way to work more collaboratively with all of the nations who have interests. Last week the pentagon rescinded an invitation to china to participate in a multilateral naval exercise. Mike . Mike Rich Edson Reporting from the state department. Thank you.
