Import tariffs. How are the markets reacting this morning . Good morning. On a monumental day perhaps, welcome to early start. Im dave biggs. Im christine romans. 4 00 a. M. In the east, 5 30 p. M. In pyongyang. Up first, trump accept agoffer to meet kim jongun setting up what could be the diplomatic summit of the century expected to happen by may. Kim extending the invitation through a delegation that visited the white house on thursday. President confirming in a tweet the meeting is in the, would saying a commitment by north korea to discuss denuclearization was the catalyst to move forward. The announcement took everyone by surprise including the pentagon. If it materializes, mr. Trump would become the first sitting u. S. President to ever meet with his north korean counterpart. There has never been a phone call between the two. Historic. Andrew stevens tracking the latest for us live from seoul. Good morning. What is the reaction in the region . Reporter well, the reaction in the region as christine just said was absolutely miraculous. Near miraculous according to the south korean president moon jaein. It really is. Here in seoul this is this palpable relief that the south korean government managed to get this over line. Its always been about a meeting between the u. S. And north korea. Theres also going to be a summit between the two Korean Leaders. This is the really big one. There is relief here but also tempered with realism. Interestingly, we had japan, the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe was speaking. Abe says weve got to continue to put this maximum pressure on. This had economic noose around north korea stays while we lead up to and during these negotiations till we see some concrete movement about that plan agreed also by the u. S. , also by south korea. The sanctions all stay in place. The australians are saying we hope that theres good faith in these negotiations but we have been down this path before. North korea has spoken, has tried to speak, tried to do deals. They ended in failure. North korea didnt get further towards denuclearization. Its going to take something extraordinary to push it beyond that into when you consider in recent weeks, there was talk of a military strike on the north. There was talks of the north selling chemical weapons to syria to finance their nuclear program. Then consider the history of statements between these two world leaders. Take a listen. Theres a 10 or a 20 chance that i can talk him out of those damn nukes because who the hell wants him to have nukes. North korea, best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself. And for his regime. Are you willing to engage in phone talks with kim jongun right now . Sure. Of course, kim jongun had his insults for president , dotard among the many things. Can these two erratic leaders put aside hair differences . When you see those clips there, it makes you realize what a monumental move in this is what, a complete flip this is on both sides. Trump prides himself on the art of the deal. This is not personal, this is business. This is the way hes seen his dealing with kim jongun. Kim jongun its been said the reason is that these sanctions are hurting. Hes looking at his own legacy. He wants to be seen as a statesman, as a world leader who can meet donald trump on the world stage. Remember, his father and his grandfather wanted to meet u. S. President s. It never happened. This time it is going to happen. But there is an ocean between them when it comes to what theyre going to actually agree to because is the u. S. Really going to give up its alliance with south korea . Is it going to move troops off the south Korean Peninsula . Is it going to withdraw its nuclear shield of this region . This is what the north koreans have always wanted. To get some sort of deal is kim jongun prepared to take unilateral steps to actually start dismantling something seen to be the core of the jooim survival. So massive gulf between the two. But there is talks. Yeah, one of the reasons weve never done this is because it would legitimize the north Korean Leader by being in the room with the president of the United States. Like you said, many questions. Well check with you again next half hour. Andrew stevens, thanks. President trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum imparts are now reality. A 25 tariff on steel, 10 on aluminum in two weeks. Canada and mexico are exempt for now. The move is rattling u. S. Allies and laying bare fault lines within the gop.

This is gary cohns last meeting in the cabinet and of the cabinet and hes been terrific. He may be a globalist but i still like him. He is seriously a globalist. Theres mo question. In his own way, hes a nationalist because he loves our country. And where is gary . You love our country. I do. Hes going to maybe come back. He might come back, right . Absolutely. Well be here another seven years hopefully. Thats a long time. I have a feeling youll be back. Trump says if cohn does po come back, he would not return to the same position because hes not strong on tariffs. That doesnt bode well for larry cud well and other traders being considered to replace cohn. The white house has faced to provide details about rob porter security clearance fiasco.

Andrew stevens live for us in seoul this morning. Astounding day. Good morning, andrew. Reporter yeah, good morning. Astounding day indeed. Heres an interesting point for you. This is the, as you say, the first time there would be a summit between these two. Kims father and grandfather were both pushing hard for a meeting with respect to u. S.

Theres been nothing where it would be held. Suggests it might be in the dmz. Some suggest it may be in a completely neutral country, switzerland. Kim jongun was in boarding school in switzerland. Its been used for these sorts of meetings before, the u. S. And ussr, for example. We dont know and maybe the u. S. Might put the conditions on where they meet as a way of starting to get om action from the kim regime, dave, about denuclearization and verifiable stuff north korea needs to do. To your point, we dont know the where or who. Who could do this negotiation . We have no real diplomat in the region capable and familiar with the north. Whats the reaction in the region this morning. Reporter the reaction has been positive. Positive but also some karld with that. Almost miraclerous was the description used by the president of south korea. President moon has been instrumental in pushing this process forward to this sage stage. He is saying this is a step one step in a long process. The meeting is a good start. Japanese are much more basically weve got to keep maximum pressure, economic pressure on north korea. That is the point the u. S. And south korea both agree on, as well. The japanese saying weve been down this path before. We know from history north korea has not been a reliable negotiating barnett. Thats see what he they do rather than what they say. Australians saying pretty much the same thing although calling for the negotiations to be held in good faith. Cheyne happy its happening and warning it will be a very long path. Several administrations have been fooled before. Thank you. President trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are reality.
