his word. what about you? my opinion doesn t matter. my opinion is that i you re national security adviser to the president. your opinion matters. i m not the national security decisionmaker. that s his view. we saw otto warmbier in north korean custody after his arrest. at a press conference, february 29th, 2016. there he is. he was alert. he was talking. he was physically okay. so whatever happened to otto warmbier clearly happened after he entered north korean custody, after kim jong-un knew he was in north korean custody. do you believe that somebody in the prison system in north korea just went rogue and did something to otto warmbier or do your years of knowing north korea, and knowing the politics there tell you that whatever happened to otto warmbier, kim jong-un had to have known about it because that s how that country is run. nothing that happens in north korea surprises me. but i do think what north korea would benefit from most is a full description of what h
could walk through that open door, we ll wait and see what his decision is. i want to play what president trump said about kim jong-un and the brutal mistreatment of otto warmbier who was arrested in north korea and returned to the u.s. in a coma and subsequently died. take a listen. i don t believe he would have allowed that to happen. he tells me he didn t know about it, and i ll take him at his word. he s going to take kim jong-un at his word he didn t know about it. the warmbier family put out a statement saying kim jong-un is responsible. the president made it very clear he considers what happened to otto warmbier an act of brutality that s completely unacceptable to the american side. i have heard him before the summit itself, before the press conference talk about how deeply he cared about otto warmbier and his family. the fact is, the best thing north korea could do right now would be to give us a full accounting of what happened and who was responsible for it. do you

he, obviously, thinks it s worth trying. we ll see now what comes next. i agree, obviously, that a bad deal is worse than no deal. not everybody agrees with that proposition, by the way. but the north koreans got something out of this. they got a big international propaganda victory, and i don t see anything that the united states achieved, and i wonder, without a concrete demonstration that something would be able to be achieved, would you recommend to the president a third summit? the president simply doesn t agree with the idea that kim get something out of these meetings. others disagree with that. that s not the president s view. now would he want a third summit? he said in his press conference in hanoi, none has been scheduled. would he want another one without some manifestation the north was going to move? that will remain to be seen. the key decisionmaker is kim jong-un. he s heard it directly from the president. the big deal he could accept, he
