Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Fredricka Whitfield 20180610

The historic meeting with kim jongun and President Trump, were about 30 hours away. But it is the meeting with the si canadian Prime Minister that is getting so much attention, so well come back to you to delve into that. The white house is in a huge shoving match with one of its closest allies. The president s advisers hitting hard this morning using extremely combative language about canada. The president backed out of signing the joint g7 statement, and is personally slamming canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just hours after saying all his relationships were a 10 out of 10 pertaining to the g7 community. White house people blame betrayal by Justin Trudeau. Lets go to jeff zeleny in singapore. How is this potentially setting the stage there . Reporter well, fredricka, it certainly sets the tab and gives a sense of the president s mindset as hes entering this historic summit here with north Korean Leader kim jongun. You get a sense internally what the president and his advisers were thinking and talking about as they flew here to singapore, the long flight from the g7 in canada, trying to enter this historic meeting in a position of strength, still talking about the g7, still talking about the u. S. Allies as they turn their attention toward an old u. S. Foe here. But take a listen to the president s chief economic adviser larry kudlow who was on cnn early this morning, what he had to say about the president s state of mind. Potus is not going to let a canadian Prime Minister push him around, push him, potus, around, President Trump, on the eve of this. He is not going to permit any show of weakness on the trip to negotiate with north korea, nor should he so this was about north korea . Of course it was in large part. So because trudeau said that as trump was going to singapore you know, one thing leads to another oh, i see. Okay. They are all related. Kim must not see american weakness. There is a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with president donald j. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door. Reporter so very curious to see the president s top economic adviser. Theyre linking what happened back in canada to the president s frame of mind here in singapore as he does get ready for that meeting. But certainly it does give a sense of what the president is thinking. Now, extraordinarily, fredricka, this is going to be the first meeting between an american president and north Korean Leader. They are, in fact, right here in singapore. Its the overnight time now. They are staying in hotels some half mile or so from each other. They are going to meet in about 30 hours or so. But all day monday here there are going to be top meetings with the president and his advisers getting ready for that historic meeting. The question, of course, is north korea ready to denuclearize . The president says hell stand for nothing less. The question, what will the u. S. Give up in these negotiations. Fred . Jeff zeleny, thank you so much. Well check back with you. I want to bring in senior Diplomatic Correspondent Michelle Krasinski in washington. Earlier, Prime Minister trudeau says russia should not be added back into the g7. Could that perhaps be adding to the animosity between trump and trudeau since trump said russia should be let back in . Its possible, but i dont see how trump or his advisers could think any of these allies, save for italy, who just elected a right wing government, could support that idea. Talking to u. S. Allies since then, they felt like this was just an impossible dream or some kind of idea out of left field. So was it over russia . Its possible, but i think its remarkable that, you know, in one breath the president is saying that these relationships are fine, that theyre a 10, accusing the American Press of putting out fake news by even asking the question about anger and frustration. It doesnt really seem like fake news anymore. I dont know how he could possibly think that now that this has happened. Something obviously went on in those meetings where its possible that President Trump felt like they had reached some understanding, at least thats what he was saying on his way out of those meetings. And then, you know, there was some element of that that prompted the canadian Prime Minister to then say, well, were not going to be pushed around. You know, what they were saying what the u. S. Side was saying is just not right. Were not going to be dealing with this. Were going to have our tariffs at the u. S. Its not really different than what we heard from the canadians before, but something in that meeting went wrong enough for the canadian Prime Minister to want to say those things publicly, and then for the president and his advisers to react the way they did. So was there some shred of an understanding that, you know, both sides ended up not really seeing eye to eye on . Its really hard to say what the details are, of course, without being knowing what will come out over the next few days. The fact there wasnt even enough unity in this summit for them to all sign the same declaration, to be on the same page enough to even say, heres our joint statement after they had supposedly negotiated that. The u. S. Abstaining from that signature, trump saying he refuses to sign that communique, Michelle Krasinski. Right. Thank you so much. Well check back with you. Joining me right now, max booth, Senior Leader at the foreign relations, and an anchor at bloomberg and an anchor at cnn toronto. Max, very strong language. From advisers saying there is a special place in hell for trudeau to saying that was a sophomoric move and it was backstabbing. What does this mean for relations Going Forward for the u. S. And canada . This is shocking to me. Ive never heard another u. S. Official talk about an ally in those terms. The way the adviser was talking about canada, thats even harsher than ive heard before. This is completely unprecedented. They are escalating this war because they think there is some gain to be had to be at lagerheads with canada. This is inexplicable to me, and this is really doing vladimirs work for us. He is getting the full benefit from trump, because donald trump is just destroying the western alliance. He is burning our ties with canada, with the europeans. This is just a heartbreaking thing for me to see. And john, we just heard from our Michelle Krasinski who said its not unusual to have heard trudeau saying, you know, they will not be pushed around. But how is this translating in canada to see now this open spat, this war of words, very insulting language between two very close allies or historically would have been very close allies . Well, there is no doubt, fredricka, there is a lot of uncertainty right now. Obviously were getting close to a year since the nafta talks got started. Along the way there was some hope and optimism that things would get done. Certainly not too long ago, the Prime Minister had suggested he felt like they were getting pretty close, and then they were obviously not. And then its within the last couple of weeks that we know we saw the white house impose those tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum. As a result we saw a change in the tone from the Prime Minister. Very quickly the canadian government retaliated, announcing their tariffs, which have not taken effect yet. They are still hoping if they find some Common Ground with the u. S. Before the beginning of july that those tariffs are not implemented, but if not, they will be implemented. And to your earlier point, the comments that we heard, including the Prime Minister talking about canadians feeling insulted by these tariffs, is not necessarily new language. Over the last couple of weeks, weve heard that from the Prime Minister, we heard that from the Foreign Affairs minister. Obviously larry kudlow speaking today saying it was the timing of those comments coming after the president had left, and they seemed to have an agreement on this g7 communique. But the question is where would we be even with the communique signed, because there is still uncertainty about tariffs, the president talking about his concerns with dairy here in canada and almost foreshadowing, potentially, more tariffs. Max, is that the issue . Is it about timing on the eve of this historic summit with north korea . I suppose there is some connection, although i dont really see it. But if you listen to larry kudlow, he seemed to be suggesting that by beating up on Justin Trudeau, somehow donald trump is going to enhance his negotiating position with kim jongun. I really fail to see the logic of that. And all along he was inferring it was intentional, that this was terrible timing, that this undermines the president of the United States at a time when he needs to be showing strength, but this kind of c coming from the canadian Prime Minister would mean it puts trump in a weak position. I mean, this has just unhinged. The whole trump explanation here doesnt make any sense, because if anything, i would think if donald trump cant even get along with americas closest friend and ally in the world, canada, how in the world can kim jongun possibly trust any reassurances that donald trump makes to him . Because donald trump has said a lot of things about how hes friendly with canada. He claimed the summit meeting was a 10 out of 10 and clearly that was not the case. You know, the summit aftermath quickly degenerated into these unprecedented insults among the closest of allies, so how does that give kim jongun any kind of confidence in negotiating with donald trump to see how he behaves with canada, of all countries . And john, is there a feeling in canada that perhaps people feel that the Prime Minister was mindful of the president on the eve of the north korean summit and thats why he would say that . Think a lot of people are just trying to figure out where this whole story goes, fredricka, here in canada. Because were starting to see evidence that businesses, and ive been a business journalist on both sides of the border, and there obviously is this very strong relationship between the two nations. That businesses in canada are being reluctant when it comes to making big investment plans because of the trade uncertainty. Weve already seen tax reform in the u. S. For some canadian businesses thats actually opened the door to do more business in the u. S. So the Prime Minister, a couple years into his tenure, obviously dealing with some economic challenges here. Whether its the nafta uncertainty, whether its the competitiveness with the United States on issues like taxes, whether its some of the issues around regulation in this country. There is big conversations around issues like pipe linline right now. So the Prime Minister is trying to battle all of this and try to avoid getting into a situation where the canadian economy simply slows down with all the trade uncertainty. There is already issues on the imf with thatissue. Thanks to you both. I appreciate it. John in singapore . Thank you so much, fred. Next, the meeting that is being watched all around the world. Less than 30 hours from now, we ll begin right here in singapore. President trump says kim jongun has a onetime shot to get this historic summit right. Well talk about the mistakes, straight ahead.

But why go back there, when you can stay home, with Neulasta Onpro . Strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. In a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17 to 1 , a 94 decrease. Applied the day of chemo, Neulasta Onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. Neulasta is for certain Cancer Patients receiving strong chemotherapy. Do not take neulasta if youre allergic to neulasta or Neupogen Filgrastim . Ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. Report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. In patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. The most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. So why go back there . If youd rather be home, ask your doctor about Neulasta Onpro. Welcome back. Im john berman live in singapore. The historic sitdown between two nations. On one side, President Donald Trump, ruffling the feathers at the g7 summit. Will these two World Leaders be able to find some Common Ground during their summit here in singapore . Lets bring in cnn Senior Correspondent ivan watson here with me in singapore. Ivan, what have we heard so far from President Donald Trump . President trump landed here fresh offer the g7 summit meeting. He told reporters what he thought about the upcoming meeting, and he just said very good before heading to his hotel. Right before that, the north Korean Leader arrived fron a borrowed plane from china, and since then we saw him go through the streets of singapore in his limousine flanked by those jogging north korean bodyguards in suits that weve seen before in a previous interkorean summit. He thanked the Prime Minister here for helping with this meeting. He said, if this is a successful meeting, then the help from singapore will be registered forever. The two leaders will not be meeting until Tuesday Morning local time here. On monday there will be a meeting between u. S. And north korean working groups, presumably to hash out more details until the two top leaders meet. A little bit of context here, john, north korea, its population dwarvfdwarfs singapo many times. But its economy is drfed with less than 6 million inhabitants. Its a sign of where north korea fits in the world. A huge difference, of course, t its nuclear arsenal, and thats what these two leaders are meeting to talk about. John . That crucial difference at stake here. Ivan watson in singapore with me. Ivan, thank you so much. Joining me now, National Security analyst jim walsh. Jim, thanks so much for being with us. You were involved in negotiations with north korea back in 2005, the sixparty talks. That was one of the four Nuclear Agreements that north korea made and then broke at various stages. What will make this sitdown different . Well, i do think the agreed framework, it lasted for eight years. We had eight years without a longrange missile test or a nuclear test. That sounds pretty good to my ears these days. But i wasnt in 2005, we werent really having negotiations when i was in north korea. When i was in north korea, i was there in the capacity of a private citizen, and we used to do that back then because there werent diplomatic relations and sometimes the north koreans would tell you stuff and you would take that back to your government. I remember sitting across the table from the head of the sixparty delegation and is now foreign minister. Its me on one side and a bunch of north korean officials on the other side. I had come here by myself and i was a little worried about my security. They said, mr. Walsh, were glad youre here. I hope when you return, youll say positive things about us on cnn. When they said that, i knew i was good for the trip, that i didnt have to worry. What are your expectations here, jim . If it is just a meet and greet, is that progress . Obviously you would hope for more than that, given that its the top two leaders. And the idea between the two leaders getting together is by starting at the top down, you can force the bureaucracy to move forward on some of these tough issues, that if you wait for it to bubble up from the bottom, it never quite gets there. So they better come out with some momentum. I think if you look at what President Trump has said and if you look at what north korea has done, releasing detainees, blowing up one of the tunnels for their nuclear testing, the moratorium on testing that weve enjoyed the last couple weeks, that all signals to me they want this meeting to work. I think the president wants it to work. So i think well get something more than just words, maybe something around a peace treaty, a continuation of the moratorium on nuclear or longrange missile tests. But in this respect, i think President Trump is correct. They need to take advantage of this opportunity. Theyre not going to get a lot of them. The initials that youre going to hear a lot over the next 48 hours are cvid, complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization, right . Is that an achievable goal here, jim, given that, look, north korea has sacrificed so much of its treasure over the last 20 years to build this arsenal. Is it reasonable to think they would want to give it up after one day of meetings here in singapore . Well, thats a good point, john, and certainly many of my colleagues in Security Studies are deeply skeptical that theyll giveuptheir nuclear weapons. Ive been saying yes, but you never say never with north korea. And they do have a conventional deterrent right from 1953 after the correspokorean war up until tested, they relied on their artillery for their national defense. When you have a country like north korea, its a oneperson dictatorship. If the one person changes their mind, then you can get a very, very different outcome. Well just have to test that, and the only way you test that is in a negotiation. So im glad to see them talking. But on cvid, the infamous cvid, that was a concept borne out of changed. S, but things have the i in cvid is for irreversible. North korea is more like south africa than the libya case, right, they got nuclear weapons. If they ever really wanted to do it again, having done it once, i dont know that we could ever stop that if they put their mind to it, but we can put them on the track so they never reach that politically and diplomatically. Jim walsh, its great to have you with us. Thanks so much. Thank you. I want to bring in cnn chief National Correspondent jim sciutto here with me in singapore. Jim, its interesting. I read a few minutes ago that the north korean press is barely covering this at all. There are very low expectations, if any expectations at all, for what kim does here in singapore. In fact, i think the one thing they covered is him visiting a fish restaurant in north korea yesterday. Yeah, its interesting. Hes got a domestic political audience as much as President Trump does, right . Its an interesting tactic on his part because he may want to be minimizing the chances of failure here, right . If nothing comes out of it, they dont want to be advertising in singapore, here i am meeting with the american president , et cetera. Its different on trumps side because he has a different approach, and obviously downg downgrading expectations. Up until a week ago, there was talk about raising expectations on the progress you might make towards that goal in this meeting. Then it was trump himself who walked that back to say, this really is a meet and greet. Just the relationship enough is good. Then he ratcheted it up a little bit to raise this prospect of ending the war officially, the korean war officially with some sort of 60 years too late, but Peace Agreement on the korean war. Then they raised it a little bit again as to what they might walk away with here. The president said this is kim jonguns one shot to make this happen. The president said he will know within the first minute. Hell know right away when he walks in if this will work out, just by touch and by feel here. President trump does things differently, as we know. Normally thats not the way diplomacy works here. This is so unusual. Its also not based on reality, right . He may have a sense in the first minute. Look back to george w. Bush. He looked into putins eye and he saw a friend. The success of this deal will be what happens in the months and years to follow. Do you get a verifiable denuclearization . You can have a gut feeling as to whether thats going to work out. Mr. Trump is a businessman. Hes always operated based on instinct. But u. S. Intelligence cant know what and if north korea is going to follow through on any agreement you make. Its only going to be known over many years, right . And thats going to be the real test. It will, and of course there is a meeting tomorrow of aides and whatnot before the big meeting on tuesday. Well watch that very caref to see what comes of it. Jim, thank you for with me right now. Fred, lets go back to you. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate it. President trump extending another hand to russia but could it be a slap in the face to key allies . We discuss that next. With expedia you could book a flight, hotel, car and activity all in one place.

Comcast, building americas largest gigspeed network. So jim, you first. How serious is trump about russia being reinstated . Will he continue to push for allies . Spite pushback from well, we dont know, honestly. We dont know if this was peak trump upset about how the g7 summit went and sending something of a message there. The president has made similar points before, saying he seeks a better relationship with russia, he thinks it would be valuable for the u. S. , it would be valuable for the world, better for world peace, prospects for world peace, et cetera. The idea of g7 entry, first of all, its not entirely the u. S. Choice, thawould have to be a group choice, and theres a tremendous amount of pushback from g7 partners on this, and there is obviously pushback from the president s own party. You heard that from senator Lindsey Graham today. You heard similar reaffirmation of warnings about what russias intentions are, for instance, from the director of National Intelligence dan coats that russias very intention is to divide the alliance, and by making a comment like this, particularly at the g7, President Trump seems to be on point on that issue with russia. And thats worrisome. Ill tell you this. I cover the intelligence agencies, i speak to intelligence officials frequently about this, and this is not a classified assessment, its a very public assessment. They say that russia is a threat to u. S. National security. Its a growing threat. And their push is for tougher sanctions on russia, whether they be economic, a tougher response to russia rather than welcoming it into a group of americas closest allies, like g7. And kevin, the continuing question. Why is this happening . Why is the president bringing up russia . Former obama National Security spokesman said that trumps statement, and im quoting now, crystallizes precisely why putin was so eager to see trump elected. For putin this is a return on his investment and its safe to say that his investment has paid off beyond even his wildest dreams. Whats your thought on that . Fred, i have no problem sitting here and defending the president s actions when i think theyre just. I think this one is crazy. In many ways it emboldens russia. Its not smart for the president , it feels like it implicates him. Certainly russia is a big nuclear power. Theyre a major force in that region. But economically theyre not a big force. If were talking about adding to the g7, its not russia, theres plenty other countries that are ahead of him on that list. He brought it up before he went to canada and then he brought it it up again, that russia needs to be reinstated. Theres something that happened. Its stunning that an american president under investigation for potentially kohl le colluding with the foreign power would take to the world stage and his first request, publicly or otherwise, would be to reinstate that very same foreign power to the g7 or the g8. There is no reason why he would be reaching for this. Senator Lindsey Graham had this to say earlier. I agree that expanding the g7 to the g8 now would be a mistake. You have to deal with russia. Theyre out there, theyre in syria, but theres no way i would ever agree to give them that legitimacy. The soviet union may have fallen, but the evil it represents is alive and well in putins russia. He is no friend of the United States. He is dismembering democracies everywhere and trying to do so in our own ba so there is no way i would legitimize him. I would stay tough on putin. It would be a mistake to try to get him back into the g8. So, jim, this particularly piques your curiosity and interest of what Lindsey Graham had to say. Hes been relatively consistent about the ongoing threat of vladimir putin. He has. And remember, he speaks to the president. He has something of a relationship with him. So to hear Lindsey Graham being so publicly critical of the president s comments is significant. Just a reminder, why was russia expelled from the g7, then the g8 . This is because in 2014 russia invaded an annexed crimea illegally. That still stands today. It invaded eastern ukraine. That still stands today. You have Russian Forces relative to the change. Russia has gotten worse. It has solidified its grip on north korea, its solidified eastern action in ukraine. It just depends on what the president is basing that statement on. What does russia have to think about all this based on all this conversation . Take a listen. Translator i believe its necessary to stop this creative babbling and stick to creative issues relating to the real population. The Global Economy in terms of volume and combined purchasing power countries of the advantsh violation has really surpassed many countries. What does he mean by babbling. By calling it babbling, its the rhetoric that russia tried to project, even though its not economically strong. Theres a lot of noise here, and most of it is coming from President Trump. I think the reality is how do we view russia. I think russia is somebody who is propping up a regime in syria, thats attacking american troops. There are so many things going on that russia is bad for. I think we need a president that has a stronger stance against russia. I think most people in the Republican Party believe that, most americans believe it. The bigger enemy is russia, not canada on this one. President trump thought this was advantageous as hes about to embark on this north korea meeting to involve the thought of russia in all of this as potential leverage . Its tough to imagine that. Im sure he has a reason. He obviously believes that theyre strong. We talked about they have the nuclear power. But ultimately we need a stronger position against russia. I think Lindsey Graham is right, and its tough to imagine what the president is thinking on this one. Im not as certain the president has a reason per se, but i do think just seeing how eyes tried out issues day to day. Two days from now well be talking about the next comment hes made on the world stage of north korea. Im not sure there is necessarily any thinking behind it. Kevin, howard, jim. Thanks to all. I appreciate it. Rap per eminem coming under criticism for his use of realistic gunshot sound effect at a concert last night. The moment caused panic and fear among some in the crowd.

You are looking at a stunning scene of destruction, a house explosion in cleveland, ohio and its left one person dead and another critically injured. A few neighboring houses were also damaged, as you can see right there. Emergency crews and the Fire Department were originally called to the scene for wires down. But the cause is is still under investigation. In the meantime, hiphop music star eminem is getting backlash from some festival goers who were scared and upset over the rappers use of realistic gunshot sound effects during a concert in tennessee last night. Here is how the moment played out during eminems bonaru performance. So concert goers are understandably on edge following a mass shooting at a Country Music festival in las vegas where 58 people were killed and more than 800 injured when a gunman opened fire on the crowd back in october. For more on the controversy surrounding eminems use of this sound, lets bring in cnns diane gallagher. Its drawing a lot of criticism and then some support who are making reference to what they recall hearing in previous concerts with him. Thats right, fred. A source close to eminem said they want to make one thing clear, that this actually wasnt an imitation gun firing sound in that particular song you were hearing. They call this a pyrotechnic effect. Hes been using it for more than a decade in his shows and his music. Its not something thats new, but it obviously was received differently at bonaru this time around. There were a lot of tweets from people who said it triggered feelings and fear in them. They thought perhaps there was actually a shooting in bonaru. It caused them to run for cover. I spoke to a student who went to Stoneman Douglas high school. She said she went to the eminem show. She wanted to see him. He is a legend and she was really excited about it. She sent me a long text explaining it. She said, after the fourth really loud pop, i started to cry and had to leave. It was so bad i nearly threw up. I asked what she thought could be done differently. She said she would like to see it eliminated altogether. She doesnt think there is a need for it ownie we were skrus ta just talking, fred. Theyve used imitation gunfire even since the 1970s. It was popular in the 1970s. Madonna used it a lot. The mia got in controversy over her use of it in 2007. So do a lot of hiphop artists. But times change and social environments change so much. In england, someone said she thought it sounded like a bomb. You think of what happened in manchester, england, in paris in 2015. So it is a trigger for people and it has opened up a discussion because i lot of defenders of eminem say, what do you expect . The song is called kill you. This is not necessarily if you are suffering about feelings from gun violence, this is not perhaps the best place to be given the context of his songs. There is a debate going on right now about artistry and whether or not gun violence and those songs belong in it. And the awareness of those songs being heined in the view of current events.
