PASSING
PASSING THOUSANDS OF ONLOOKERS WHO LINE THE STREETS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN VIETNAM
FOR THE SECO4@ND ROUND OF TALKS
WITH 4@NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM
JONG-UN.
JONG-UN.
JONG-UN. THEY WILL TALK ABOUT NORTH KOREA
ENDING ITS 4@NUCLEAR WEAPONS
PROGRAM AND RELIEF TO THE
SANCTIONS AGAINST HIM.
FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT, DR. WANG, I
HAVE TO ASK YOU WHAT ARE YOU
EXPECTING TO COME OUT OF THIS?
>> UNFORTUNATELY, NOT VERY
MUCH, SINCE WE HAVE
DENUCLEARIZATION IS THE GOAL.
IT HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR
NORTH
NORTH KOREA IS NOT QUITE READY TO GIVE THE UNITED STATES WHAT
THEY WANT VERY SPECIFIC DETA4@I
ABOUT HOW IT IS GOING TO BE.
>> THE QUESTION BECOMES THE
PRESIDENT WAS KNOW THIS GOING
IN SO WHY GO, WHY BOTHER?
SPENT QUITE A NUMBER OF REASONS
I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
DOING THIS VERY MUCH ALSO FOR
HIS DOMESTIC AUDIENCE. HE NEEDS
ANOTHER WIN IN FOREIGN POLICY. @
CERTAINLY ALSO HIS LEGACY.
IT'S VERY HISTORIC AND HE NEEDS
TO BREATHE BUILD ON THE
PREVIOUS SUMMIT.
PREVIOUS SUMMIT. THE MEANING OF THE SUMMIT LAST
YEAR.
YEAR.
YEAR. >>
YEAR. >> KIM JONG-UN WILL LOOK4@ THE
PRESIDENT IN THE FACE IN MY.
YOU HAVE TO VERIFY, RIGHT?
WOULD BE TOO MUCH TO EXPECT HIM
TO AGREE TO SOMETHING.
>> THIS IS WHAT IS SO
INTERESTING IT'S ABSOLUTELY
MUCH HARDER FOR KIM JONG-UN TO
LOOK THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES IN THE EYE, I TO
I AND ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP, SOMEBODY THAT THEY HAVE
FALLEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER,
SO IT IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT
TO LOOK THE PRESIDENT OF NINE
STATES IN THE EYE AND BALD-
FACED LIE LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF
A GLOBAL AUDIENCE.
ACTUALLY KNOW I THINK THIS ONE-
ON-ONE MEETING IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. AND IF YOU CAN GET KIM JONG-UN
TO PERSONALLY MAKE THAT KIND OF
COMMITMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
A COMPLETELY AUTHORITARIAN
REGIME WHERE ALL THE DECISIONS
ARE MADE BY HIM, THE SUPREME
LEADER.
LEADER.
LEADER. I
LEADER. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.
>> THE SECOND PART OF MY
QUESTION IS THIS, HE NEEDS TO
GET THESE ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
REMOVE.
REMOVE.
REMOVE. >> WILL THAT IS EXACTLY THE
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM. THE QUESTION BECOMES WHAT IS THE
UNITED STATES WILLING TO GIVE UP
IN ORDER FOR THAT PRIZE OF
DENUCLEARIZATION.
DENUCLEARIZATION. NORTH KOREA HAS MADE VERY CLEAR
ONCE THE EASEMENT OR LIFTING OR
COMPLETE LIFTING OF4@ U.S.
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS, WHICH IS THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE PORTION4@ OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POLICY THUS
FAR.
FAR.
FAR. THIS
FAR. THIS IS ACTUALLY WHY WE HAVE
THIS COMING DOWN AND NO MORE
PROVOCATION.
PROVOCATION. >> BUT ALSO HE CAN'T GIVE US
ALL WHAT WE WANT WE CAN GIVE
HIM ALL OF WHAT HE WANTS.
>> THAT IS THE STALEMATE.
THAT IS WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
SAYING I AM GOING TO MEET HIM
EYEBALL TO EYEBALL AND TALK TO
HIM IN GET THIS KIND OF
AGREEMENT.
AGREEMENT. THE QUESTION THOUGH, AND I THINK
IT WILL MAKE MANY PEOPLE UNHAPPY
HERE ESPECIALLY4@, IS IF THE U.
GIVES UP 4@EASING ECONOMIC
SANCTIONS AND WE DON'T GET THAT
PROMISE OR DECLARATION 4@OF
DENUCLEARIZATION4@.
DENUCLEARIZATION4@. >> EVEN IF HE GETS THE
DECLARATION YOU HAVE TO GO IN
AND VERIFY AND HAVE INSPECTORS
ON THE GROUND.
>> IT WILL TAKE YEARS 4@AND YEA
AND YEARS TO EVEN DO IT.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OPTICS
HERE. 4@
HERE. 4@
HERE. 4@ A LOT OF PRESIDENTS WHEN THEY
HAVE PROBLEMS, DIFFICULTY HOME,
THEY GET ON AIR FORCE ONE AND
GO OVERSEAS AND ACT VERY
PRESIDENTIAL. 4@
PRESIDENTIAL. 4@ IS THIS LIKELY TO HAVE THAT
KIND OF IMPACT FOR THE
PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENT? HE IS HEADED FOR VERY SHAKY
DAYS IF NOT WEEKS WITH THE
DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED HOUSE,4@ SE
TO INVESTIGATE, 4@HE COMES OUT
WINNER REGARDLESS OR DOES HE
HAVE TO REALLY4@ HAVE SOMETHING
HE CAN SINK HIS TEETH INTO?
>> I THINK IN TERMS OF NORTH
KOREA POLICY, IN TERMS OF
SECURITY, IN TERMS OF STABILITY
AND ACHIEVING REAL, HISTORIC
MO4@VEMENT AND MOMENTUM, AND
NORTHEAST ASIA YES W4@E
ABSOLUTELY NEED TO GET SOMETHING
SUBSTANTIVE.
SUBSTANTIVE. BUT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO
DE4@CLARE THIS TO WIN FOR
HIMSELF, THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO
TURNS EVERYTHING INTO A WIN AND
AC4@TUALLY THOSE WHO SUPPORT HI
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM
REGARDLESS.
