with what the u.s. offers. regional neighbors are hoping these discussions will to forward an important step in pushing for the denuclearization of the peninsula and establishing the peace mechanism on the peninsul peninsula. president trump praised the economic success of vietnam and i said, he hopes the one-time american folk and serve as a role model for north korea that agrees to denuclearize. president trump keeps hammering away on this issue of the economy and i think is absolutely right. i think a key feature of kim jong un, what makes them different from his father is that he is serious about economic development. that is the strategic driver here. there s something more important to kim jong un than his nukes, and that s his economy. president trump heads home after thursday s meeting. kim jong un will stick around for another two days have a further look at what vietnam has become and maybe take some notes. shannon. shannon: greg palkot and soul, thank you very mu
time where an self-described fixer vowing to tell the truth. this time. michael cohen telling a house committee that the president is a racist, calm man and a cheat. republicans say cohen, was about to go to prison for lying to congress as a fraudster, a cheat, and a felon. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has been tracking all of it for us. catherine. shannon, today s testimony indicates that president trump s greatest legal exposure may be in the southern district of new york and not russian collusion. cohen specifically testified that he was instructed not to talk about conversations that took place after an april 2018 fbi raid on his business and apartment. unfortunately, this topic is actually something that s being investigated right now by the southern district of new york and i ve been asked by them not to discuss and not to talk about these issues. michael cohen, the president s long serving and now disgraced attorney went before a top congressional co
signing? president trump certainly seem to be lowering expectations when he first sat down with a kim jong-un this morning. listen to this. i can t speak necessarily for today but i can say that it is a little bit longer term and over a period of time i know we will have a fantastic success with respect to chairman kim and north korea. i ve been saying from the beginning that speed is not that important to me. i very appreciate testing nuclear rocket missiles, any of it. very much appreciated. though two leaders then took a walk around the pool at the historic hotel, but in order for the summit to be more than just photo ops, president trump is going to need some concrete concessions from the north koreans. administration officials are pushing back on nbc report that they are no longer demanding that north korea agreed to
and the other day i saw a host on another channel, they played a clip just off of the singapore summit for president trump was talking about the possibilities for the development of north korea, he was talking about the beaches and hotels and all the rest of it like a property developer and they were mocking him for that, laughing at him, but actually, that could be the key to progress and when we elected a businessperson to be president, we thought that that would really be applied to the economy and jobs and of course you are seeing that but it s fascinating to see it applied to foreign policy too with great success so far. shannon: there are a lot of economic interest in that area. china a big player. there s this question of labor, there s a question of trade between south korea and north korea and china, others in the region. it s a very complex equation when we know that we need china to be a partner when it comes to sanctions, but the countries there in that region also need t
case. heading into this summit, the one thing that everybody has been consistent about on capitol hill from both republicans and democrats has been, we want to see some concrete, specific steps toward the denuclearization. the singapore summit was all about these photo ops, but this time in hanoi, in order for this to be deemed a success, there has to be some concrete, deliverables. we don t know what those deliverables are, or if there are even going to be any. we are a few hours away, perhaps an hour away from this signing ceremony, some kind of an agreement, but we don t know what the details of this agreement are. we certainly need more insight as to what those details might be, what we just heard from president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un. some ideas that have been talked about as a possible formal and to the korean war, although that would require congressional approval.
