President. it's not clear to me that he will have achieved anything really beyond that. >> can you elaborate on what does it mean that kim has responded in some way? >> reporter: from the sounds of it, president trump says that kim is following him on twitter, so it seems that the north koreans have acknowledged that there has -- that president trump made this invitation, but they haven't confirmed that he's actually going to be there, so there's been some kind of official acknowledgment to the u.s. side saying we heard this message, but it's not clear, at least from what we know, if that has ...

Talk to us about the potential logistics that would be involved. >> reporter: there's certainly a lot, fred, that has to go into this. even if it is just as simple as a two-minute meeting, a handshake, perhaps president trump making history by being the first sitting u.s. president to step across the military demarcation line onto north korean territory. just to do that, there are going to have to be hours of meetings going very late into the night here on the korean peninsula, and in fact, we got a bit of a hint perhaps when the u.s. special represent ittiative forh korea was not seen at the ...
