A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world. The admission for wikileaks has long been clear after revealing the clinton campaigns hacked emails. Wikileaks, i love wikileaks. This wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. This wikileaks is like a
nuclear bombs. the pressure on trump and pom ao stems from the bruising. mike pompeo was embarrassed in pyongyang when he showed up for a rocket man cd for kim and didn t get a meeting with him. and he got nothing and what he did get was insulted. this is not a good visit at all. reporter: and then the hammering he got from democratic senators. they ve agreed to denuclearize. it certainly includes the i would love for you to come to a classified setting and tell all members what transpired because we don t know. reporter: experts giver the president and his team credit for ramping down military tensions with kim. but they say the current pressure on the president could stem from his own bravado. he has promised too much, that he perhaps could not deliver. he has promised there would be a different relationship, that their security issues would be
around and weighting time, while the united states falls behind security wise. we stopped the joint military exercises and have not levied sanctions. the north korean mission is advancing. steve, this is the question. pompeo came back with the rocket man cd, people laugh and say whatever. but he brought it because he thought it would be a light moment, and expected to see kim personally, he didn t get to, instead, kim was, i don t know if there were pictures of him coming out in khakis, maybe he was on a potato farm. did the administration get played? aaro erin, they did not get played. there s a lot of unknowns, we don t know if they are serious about denuclearizing the peninsula. but, what is known, since the maximum pressure has been exerted, he has stopped lobbying

of eggs in the personal diplomacy basket. and to wit, they are saying that secretary pompeo brought with him a cd of rocket man. he didn t know what the insult was when he was calling him little rocket man, are so showing up with a little rocket man cd. personal diplomacy, what are the limits when you re dealing with north korea? it is a start. if you don t have personal diplomacy with the north korean leader and trust built in then the rest of this is not going to happen, we know that north korea is a very top down society. we also know that it does not rule out personal lists. i made the point that if john f. kennedy emerged from his first
