seattle facing a nuclear strike. a ppt cannot wait. >> the trick trump may have pulled off is to draw the chinese into recognition that it's better to deal with this now than later, and the chinese would be helpful to us as opposed to obstructing us as they have in the past. if trump has done that in this very early summit meeting with xi, if he's done that process, i would say of all the achievements, that's the one that actually matters. >> what are your sources telling you about that? do they feel like they're moving china in that direction? >> yes, i think the white house feels that the xi meeting was precisely what they wanted which is a real chance for these two people to get to know each other, to talk. the fact that since the meeting they talked twice on the phone and trump clearly said there's a big un vote coming up on syria.
