the third summit before they left there. bill: there was a strong hunch that we would get some of that. maybe in coming days. right before that happened, sandra, the president sat on was sean hannity. they stood one on one here in hanoi. this is how they framed the decision. we are working toward something. we didn t sign anything today. didn t quite work out. i would say that i wasn t satisfied, and perhaps he wasn t satisfied. get a relationship, but i decided this wasn t the right time to sign something. we will see what happens. bill: to very specific questions. first you morgan, then to marie harf. when the president talks about their relationship, it is clear to us that the relationship is building. i don t know how much further you need to go, but these men are least comfortable around each other.
doing this because it takes tim time. bill: not to exclude james. [laughs] the president flew halfway around the world again. twice in eight months. my hunch is chairman kim thought he was going to get something from this. if they pull the rug out from under him and they turned tail and fly back to washington, d.c., it was almost as if it was out here. if you talk about diplomacy, i think it has to be a bit of a stunner for them. probably because donald trump was setting expectations pretty high in terms of what he could accomplish in his own personal relationship. it actually puts another element into the negotiation, but what comes next? how that is used.
at that time. sandra: catherine, what else did we learn yesterday? i think if the president has any ongoing legal jeopardy, it is in the southern district of new york. there was a key piece of testimony where he told lawmakers that he was directed by the southern district of new york not to talk about conversations that happened after an fbi raid of his apartment in his business in april 2016. unfortunately, this topic is something that is being investigated right now by the southern district of new york, and i ve been asked by them not to discuss it and not to talk about these issues. i just want to correct that. it was actually april of 2018. so it was last year. sandra, that s where we leave i it. the closure for the president and the southern district of new york, or jeopardy if you re not on this issue of russian collusion feuds we do a lot more on all of this coming up. catherine herridge, thank you.
and the next press availability, they actually started firing questions at kim, one about denuclearization. listen here. chairman kim if i m not willing to do that, i want to be here right now. good answer. that might be the best answer you ve ever heard. but then when the conversation turned to human rights abuses and whether or not i was going to come up in the conversation, president trump ran a little interference for kim. listen here. the human rights? we are discussing everything. so the bottom line here is they ve still got a long way to go here, bill, but there was some incremental progress. just from the fact that kim jong un, i believe for the very first time was taking questions from a free media in a foreign country. it really was quite something to see. bill: it was a big, big day. john, thank you.
increased. the president has said before, all options are on the table. we will not allow north korea to have a nuclear weapon. bill: senator, thank you for answering this. sandra has marked in new york, new york. the speech you have got to ask you about trade. we were just talking about maria bartiromo here about the growing optimism that a deal will get done. the president has been working with trent on this. the market seem to be predicting something will get done. sounding like this. listen to this first. we are making real progress. if we can complete this effort, and again, i say if. if we can reach a satisfactory solution to the issue of enforceability as well as some other concerns, we might be able to have an agreement that helps us turn the corner in our economic relationship with chin
