i ve always said the road to pyongyang does not lay through beijing. how about from russia,ed a tsunami russia has been an an ally of north korea and now we hear from putin they had a very positive meeting, putin and trump, that is. might the u.s. be able to leverage its new or budding relationship with russia to get to north korea? i would hope so, but i don t see much indication of it. in the last couple years, china has been on a gradual trend toward putting more pressure on north korea. russia has been moving in the other direction. russia has been very gradually been more lenient with north korea. and you saw this past week on the u.n. security council both russia and china said they are going to resist a new resolution on sanctions to tighten sanctions on north korea. it s imperative that mr. trump get in the game and convince russia and china that it s not time and it s not acceptable to
usually during the daytime it was quite peaceful but last night really things descended into chaos in large parts of hamburg. there were barricades being set on fire, protesters lobbing things like bottles and rocks at the police officers and the police officers responding with things like tear gas. there has been some violence. more than 200 cops have been hurt so far in these clashes, fredricka. frederik pleitgen, a volatile situation. thank you so much. meantime, we re getting mixed messages on russia s involvement in the u.s. election. russian president vladimir putin doubling down on hi stance that russia had no involvement and that the president of the united states agreed. this morning putin created even more confusion by again kind of summarizing how that meeting went with trump.
well, the point is i don t think focusing on russia and china is the way to convince north korea to engage with the united states and south korea. the focus should be on us, our actions as well as on our allies. and the allied actions that we take. adam? i agree. mr. tillerson said yesterday that he s not interested in pursuing a free on north korea s nuclear program. this is tantamount to saying that we re going to acquiesce for the ability to strike at the continental united states, a freeze and a negotiation is the last chance and it s the only chance in restricting north korea s nuclear program. but i agree completely. this is the first priority has to be to act with our allies and mr. trump has taken sort of a transactional approach to how it approaches this south korean relationship. he s been more interested in extracting trade concessions from president moon than he has in standing shoulder to shoulder. it s imperative he stands up
russian president across. and he also said i don t know how this will sound, but donald trump answers questions adequately in person as oppose odd the way he is on tv. this is the russian president eating the american president s lunch for him. again, keep in mind, donald trump ran some of the criticisms trump leveled against barack obama i felt were quite well-founded ran a campaign saying the former administration, the obama white house, was completely hopeless when it came to negotiating, they inaugurated terrible deals on behalf of the united states, and they were adrift, out to lunch when it came to dealing with strong men and other governments. here you have an example of putin coming away from this meeting saying i ve essentially gotten everything i wanted and now it s on the president to tell me what he s prepared to do for russia, whether it s a cease-fire in southwest syria or him denying, repudiating allegations by his own intelligence services that i had anything to do
