analysts point out that since that first trump/kim summit in singapore in june of last year, the u.s. and its allies in the region have canceled at least 12 sets of military exercises and scaled back many others while at the same time kim jong-un hasn t scaled back any of north korea s military exercises one bit. brian todd, cnn, washington. greenland has a message for u.s. president trump. the island is open for business, but it is not for sale. the government is responding to reports that mr. trump has talked about buying the danish territory and that it s not the first time the united states has expressed interest in greenland. the u.s. has tried to buy it before. that s mostly because it is believed to be rich in natural resources and with most of the island situated in the arctic circle, it is an ideal location to monitor russia. cnn s frederik pleitgen is in greenland to find out what people there are saying.
conveniently for getting all of that for his own game. kim jong-un is trying to delegitimize moon jae-in and undercut his power in south korea and more importantly trying to drive a wedge in the south korean and u.s. alliance. tonight the diplomats are warning in investing too much in the personal one-on-one relationship with the dictator who they believe want to keep their nuclear weapons. indeed, he does not intend to denuclearize. the danger is self-delusion, that the president may convince himself that something is happening that is not really happening. and to give an idea of just how much the u.s. and south korea have bent over backwards to tolerate kim s provocations and to work towards peace, analysts point out that since that first trump/kim summit in singapore in june of last year the u.s. and its allies in the region have canceled at least 12 sets of military exercises and
jong un has not reciprocated, he s been producing missile material. yes, kim will smile and not taking steps that we require. we can assume or presume that kim will do the least amount possible. what is it that he can, should do to at least show president trump, hey, look, i m doing something? well, two things that we really need, we need that declaration of missile and nuke facilities an we also need a timetable for disarmament, preconditions for further progress. and i would have thought we should have gotten them by now because it s been more than a year since historic kim summit in singapore. so if you think that was a good idea, did you say it was a good idea for the president to take the step, 20 steps literally, if you said that,
i have felt this coming from a long, long time from certain kalers in kal callers in this demographic, how it is laid bare, let s discuss it. thank you for coaching in this morning, we appreciate it. you can hear from van tomorrow when he talks to leslie jones when she talks about the silencing of comedians. north korea claims the united states is failing to adhere to the spirit of the trump-kim summit in singapore, and the u.s. made special proposals to move the process forward but they were all rejected by the kim regime. we learned this meeting in
with chairman kim during the course of ours negotiations as well. we had productive good faith negotiations. now, it seems to be the big source of disagreement here is what exactly complete denuclearization means. state department officials have long-said that that would include verification, language that they continued to use, while the north korean statement said the talks really one of the issues they had with the talks was pompeo s focus on issues like verification, irreversible denuclearization, as opposed to focus on other steps that north korea wanted to highlight, which is what they said is the dismantling of a recent test facility for icbms and the repatriation of remains of u.s. service members who died during the korean war. so still seems to be an increasingly widening gulf between the two sides as they attempt to negotiate denuclearization of the korean peninsula and pursue the results from the trump/kim summit in singapore. in addition, ryan, to the agreed upon def
