FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting May 25, 2018

Aim at the accuser. That is all ahead in the hour of Shepard Smith reporting. Trace im Trace Gallagher in for Shepard Smith. U. S. And north korea are talking again and President Trump says the meeting with kim jong un could still happen. Well see what happens. It could be the 12th. We are talking to them. They want to do it. We like to do it. Looking to see what happens. This is a major turnaround from yesterday when President Trump announced he was pulling out of the june 12 summit in singapore. The president accused north korea of tremendous anger and open hostility after it warned of a possible nucleartonuclear showdown. The North Koreans responded saying they nucleartonuclear show down. The North Koreans say they were surprised that President Trump cancelled. Theyre still willing to sit at any time in any forum. President trump tweeted good news to see the warm and productive statement from north korea. Only time and talent will tell. This morning james mattis told reporters the summit could happen if our diplomats can pull it off. John roberts is live for us at the white house. I remember yesterday you saying when the letter was sent, sounded like a negotiation than a cancellation. Thats a fair assess mmenassess. Yes. The president read out the letter and said not coming to the table could lead to grave consequences. It was page four out of art of the deal book. The president looking to shake things up. Mentioned how this perceived will depend on what north koreas reaction was. If they acted typically, everything was off the table. There was an opening here for north korea to be more diplomatic, which is what looked like happened. You have a number of people speaking for kim jongun. The other day, the Deputy Foreign minister that was strident in her remarks. Then somebody else last night suggesting, you know, its not in the best interest of the world for the summit not to go forward. Maybe we should consider putting things back on track again. At this moment, things are not back on track, but theyre looking like they could be. Listen to what Sarah Huckabee sanders said a short time ago. Certainly wed like to have a meeting. The president is not just looking to have a meeting or a cheap political stunt. He wants something that is a longlasting and real solution. Well always be prepared. Were going to do whatever to prepare for it. A real indication that something was afoot here. Last weekend, the deputy chief of staff for operations, joe hagan, went to singapore after an agreement with north korea that they would meet there last weekend to hammer out the details. The american team, the team from the white house sat on the ground in singapore for three days. The North Koreans never showed. Stood them up. Now theres talk about sending the team back to singapore for preliminary meetings to set things up. The problem here, trace, youre running out of time. Less than 2 1 2 weeks until june 12. If this is going to happen as planned, they have to get on the stick. Shepard what about the democrats . What are we hearing from them . Yesterday we heard from nancy pelosi that the president doesnt no what hes doing. We havent heard from her today. We did hear from brad sherman, democrat from california who was on fox news overtime. He should have announced were delaying the summit and say the reason for it is because they didnt show up to the planning meeting. By cancelling it, it makes them look like theyre more interested in peace than we are. Thats a mistake. According to the white house, they didnt cancel because the North Koreans didnt show up in singapore. The reason they cancelled is because the Deputy Foreign minister basically threatened a Nuclear Confrontation with the United States if this diplomacy didnt work out. The president thought that that was intemperate language when youre crying to craft the peace deal. Thats why he sent the letter to kim jongun to counsel it. The president tweeting today, democrats are so obviously rooting against this in our negotiations with north korea just like theyre coming to the defense of ms13 thugs or ending your tax cut and raise your taxes. Democrats have lost touch. Trace . Yeah, i get the rough language. When youre ghosted in singapore, has to be a big part of it. When the president reaching the deal on zte . Back to that point of being ghosted in singapore. Clearly you dont like that. Joe hagan is a deputy chief of staff. Hes not the Vice President who they called a political dummy and said what he said was stupid. Its not threatening nuclear war. I do tend to buy the white houses argument is because of what they said for calling off the summit. To zte, the president said yesterday he has a deal in place with xi jinping on resurrecting zte. The fourth Largest Company of the world. They sell a lot of android phones here in the u. S. They were found guilty of cheating on sanctions of north korea and iran. The Commerce Department suspended the expert of u. S. Goods, this is part for smart phones and tablets to zte, which shuttered the doors. The president told me that xi jinping and said listen, this is a lot of chinese jobs. Is there something that we can do to open them back up. President trump said what are you willing to do . He said how about a fine of 500 million and well change out the management and the board and 1. 5 million and you promise youll buy your majority of the parts from the United States . Xi said can we make it a billion . They settled on 1. 3 billion and the other concessions. So the president battling back against some complaints from the democrats and members of his own party as well. Listen to what Chuck Schumer said here in a statement. He said if the administration goes through with this deal, President Trump would be helping make china great again. Simply a fine and changing Board Members wont help americas security. Could be a huge victory for president chi. Both parties and congress should come together to stop this deal in its tracks. The president will likely get push back from democrats in congress. May get push back from members of his own part because marco rubio says they have a great deal for zte and china. China crushes company with no mercy and uses these company to spy and steal from us. Many hope this will be different and congress should act. The president told me that the Obama Administration was trying to do things on zte. They had sanctions in place. The president said the Obama Administration didnt do anything. I shut down zte. Clearly he thinks its in the interest of letter relations to keep it open. Trace . The timing is fascinating. Lets bring in gordon chang, an author of nuclear show down. And you talk about this back and forth. Its an on again and off again. What is your original take on the fact that we cancelled and looks like it could be a go . The North Koreans realize they need to speak to the United States. They need sanctions relief. They dont want the United States to strike their nuke hand missile facilities. The chinese have threatened north korea. So basically the North Koreans want a counter weight and the United States can provide that. When kim meets. Trump and shakes hands, thats legitimatization of the north korean ruler. They would be conciliatory as they were yesterday afternoon, this is good news for President Trump. It shows that he bent the north korean well. Very few World Leaders have been able to do that. We talked about the fact that they didnt show up in singapore and now the negative comments about the Vice President. So havent shown in the past week or so that theyre really on board with this whole thing. All of a sudden you get the cancellation threat and north korea has history has said, theyre like oh, no, no, no. We didnt mean that stuff. And i think the North Koreans realized they overplayed their hand when they heard that President Trump had withdrawn from the summit, this is important that the United States push north korea in a better direction. I think that we have the power to be able to disarm north korea without the use of force. Weve seen the power of the president of the United States to do something no one in the world thought we could do, is really to get the North Koreans to back down. Its fascinating to me, this whole zte deal with china. We know he got into kim jonguns head and now you have these things clicking in place, gordon. Do you find any kind of symmetry with this . Theres no coincidence. The Trump Administration has changed its posture on china. Not only do we see a tougher position on trade, on north korea and calling china out for sanctions busting, but weve seen a chill in military to military relations. The United States disinvited china from rim pack, which are the important naval exercises. There is really a change in washington looking at china as an adversary. This is important. Ten years from now, well look back at this month and say this is the hinge where the United States abandoned four decades of policy that wasnt working and went to something else. The generals have said a long time, militarizing these ideas in the South Pacific is a big deal. Gordon chang. Thanks for being here. Thanks.
