hour. but i want to begin with the big picture here. joining me now the frank bruni, katherine rampell, max booth, author of conservatism: why i left the right. wow, it s a big table. hello, everyone. frank, i m going to start with you. the president said today, this is what he said about cancelling the taliban can you call it summit or negotiations at camp david. here it is. no, actually, in terms of advisers, i took my own advice. i like the idea of meeting. i ve met with a lot of bad people and a loft good people during the course of the last almost three years. it was my idea, and it was my idea to terminate it. i didn t discuss it with anybody else. his idea, his idea to terminate it. it doesn t seem like he has any advisers that he take nice stock in. is he his own administration? is there anyone there that can influence him? i think there are a couple of people that can influence.
trump s family to meet him, i think is a level of intimacy that certainly kim jong-un was probably not expecting and not representative of normal diplomacy in any way, shape or form. are they sitting together with rolled out maps, discussing details, broken off discussions? it s possible. but more likely the kind of meetings they had in the u.k. where they were royal family to royal family. they re walking out. reporter: and now walking out. richard engel, we watch them walk towards the line of demarcation, all three leaders, president trump, kim jong-un, president moon jae-in. see if they repeat what they did before, photo op, handshake, greeting, then pleasantries.
there for entire event before, during and after. what stood out to you as we reset bottom of the hour. reporter: it s not after yet. still going on. supposed to be a quick handshake, donald trump said should be a quick hello. now in this meeting quite a bit of time. will be a subjectivity call. do you call it summit, extended greeting? will this lead to more meetings? if you looked at body language and listened, seems like will lead to more meetings. watching this unfold on live television, it was difficult to understand what was going on and what was being said. a small traveling pool, moved around by security, north korean cameramen there, communications
this year ? it might happen tomorrow. we won t call it summit, we might call it handshake. i wouldn t mind doing it at all. i m literally visiting the dmz and so but i will for your question about president xi, he s a brilliant leader and brilliant man. you know better than i he s probably considered to be one of the great leaders in 200 years in china, and we just have a very he s strong, he s tough, but he s good we have a very good relationship. and i said, you know, we can t have it where the united states loses this kind of money for the privilege of building up china. it has to be a fair deal. and he understands that. but as you said nobody ever came to us. it s true, no other president came to him. m presidency could be a lot easier not only for that but many other reasons.
