Now lets go adrian diaz who is in beijing with new information on the type of missile that north korea tried to test over the weekend. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Despite the Vice President reiterating in japan that the u. S. Is committed to the denuclearization of the correspondeKorean Peninsula, north korea has other ideas. They displayed their largest weapons over the weekend. U. S. Intelligence has not severe fiduciary duty if they are real. Ic b ms are capable of reaching the continental u. S. But the north has never tested one. They tested Police Department of shorter range missiles including one sunday that exploded seconds after launch. U. S. Officials believe it was a solid fuel mediumrange missile known as a kn17. Its an antiship weapon that north korea may have been testing to intimidate the u. S. Strike group that arrives off the peninsula next week. Some of the missiles that were displayed in the military parade this weekend were carried on chinese made ships. Chinese made trucks rather. They could have been sold to north korea and repurposed. When asked about this today the Chinese Government said they are strictly complying with u. N. Sanctions. Though for the record chuns overall trade w so far this year is up nearly 40 . Thanks so much. Our National Security analyst is a former Homeland Security adviser to president george w. Bush. Good morning. The testing of the ic b m if successful is a critical Decision Point for the president. Thats right. Look the good news is the most recent missile test failed. But they made significant progress. So when the president says others have been outplayed i think what hes talking about is both the development that weve seen in the missile program, and the nuclear test, the underground nuclear test weve seen and hes right. Its very concerning the amount of progress weve seen over the last 12 years in the north korean program. Is this thing ratcheting up so intensely somebody could make a mistake and were all at war . I dont worry about the u. S. Miscalculating. I do worry about miscalculating the rhetoric. Look, i dont think anybody wants to see that sort of an escalation and i think mike pences statements this morning in japan signal were not looking to make a first strike. But we also wont sit idly by. China has got this huge trade relationship. China has real ability to sort of impede the supply chain into north korea. There are banks, there are businesses. So china really does have tremendous leverage. Can we grinning pyongyang to where they will use it. The chinese still pose the Defense System in south korea. Lets remember what chinas strategic isnt it here. They dont want to see chaos in north korea but they also are not fans of a unified Korean Peninsula because what they dont want to see is u. S. Military force on their border. So we have to understand what each countrys stric interest is and try to pray that to our best advantage. For someone who knows these type of conversation, theres a lot of tough talk on both sides. What do you think is going on behind the scene . No question. You see the diplomatic effort playing out between the president , President Trump and president xi. We ought to expect theres clandestine activity on both sides. North korea has cyber ability and the United States does as well as Electronic Warfare capability. While we dont understand the details of that, behindthescenes those sorts of plays are being made to try to influence. Any evidence that chinese are changing just a bit . We saw them turn back the cold, but, you know, as we heard from margaret, trade supis up 4. The president said maybe they cant do much. I dont buy that. I think the chinese have tremendous leverage on trade, all sorts of things they can do. We better start to see that happen quickly. The president said he will soften up on trade if they do something with north korea. We need to see definite signs of chinese activity before he does that. Always good to have you here.
