A number of assessments. are they complying? are they doing what they said they would do? i bet the assessments are saying mr. president, they have not been complying. and that's undercuts the president's core thesis about what's at stake here coming up. >> >> on that subject he was asked about last week and how hard it would be to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. >> i don't think this will be the last meeting by any chance but i think the relationship is very strong. i don't think they're luctant. >> i haven't taken sanctions off, but to do that we have tee do something meaning...

Their nuclear missile program even though they should be the starting point. i think we have a long road ahead of us. when you look at secretary pompeo's recent videos, he's been focussed on north korea threat to mainland united states. that micks akes me wonder if ou focus is on intercontinental ballistic missile rather than the nuclear program, and he has also hinted he might ease sanctions. that's where north korea is looking for. they want easing of sanctions, peace declaration. they want end of u.s. south korea exercises. i think there's going to be concessions given to north korea in ret...
