Meeting at the Border Crossing really does feel like the end of the earth. I mean, its very lightly populated, the whole dmz area is big. And is so in the end, our president met with the north Korean Leader basically with very, relatively few people watching. They kind of almost, almost from a movie scene met after walking toward one another, you know, actually to board, they shook hands. I think its all on tape. And then kim said, trump, no american president has ever stepped over, and both of them came back, kind of stood there about 3 feet away from us, and talked. Kim struck me as, hes a hard character, theres no question about that. Maybe a little, a little off his game. I dont think hes surrounded by people he doesnt control very often. Wheezing like an emphysema patient, not a healthy guy. But basically he struck me as kind of selfcontained. Trump was about as happy as ive ever seen him, i mean, because it, you know, it really is something that hasnt been done before and probabl
Himself in Public Comments that the meeting is in the final stages of preparation. In fact, just moments ago he said he was positive or at least hopeful the meeting would take place. Have a listen. Ive been told that kim jong un would like to meet and looks like theyre in final stages of working out a quick meeting because ill be at the dmz anyway, the border. Ill be at the dmz. And i look forward to saying hello to him if that all works out. I guess theres always a chance it might not. But it sounds like the teams would like to have that work out. U. S. President s have come to the Demilitarized Zone before. President obama did. President george w. Bush. Clinton. Reagan before him. But they have never come to this border here and met directly face to face with the north Korean Leader. Before that President Trump met with the south Korean Leader. President moon jaein. Theyve been meeting in south korea discussing among other things possible south korean payments for u. S. Troops based
Kim there would have been howls from republicans particularly in congress. Even the negotiation of the nuclear deal with iran was incredibly negatively received here in washington. President obama spoke with the iranian president by phone, and that was seen as going too far. Im not sure why President Trump feels the need to talk about that in that way and compare what hes doing. You can talk about the policy. But the idea that didnt happen but it would have been completely rejected. Jon what can this president achieve by shaking hand with kim jongun at the border . Its an historic moment to meet. A breaking that mental block, going and reaching out. That is a significant step. This president , he is not always on top of his game when it comes to diplomacy. Iran is a juxtaposition. But with north korea, by showing hes leaning in very far, that will build him equity internationally for his approach. And it puts his team on notice. In the last summit john bolton essentially undercut the p
[speaking in koreakorean want to thank you chairman you hear the power of the voice nobody heard that voice before in case you havent heard this was a special moment, and this is i think really as president moon said historic moment the fact that we are meeting i want to thank chairman kim for Something Else when i put out the social media notification if he didnt show up the press was going to make me look very bad but you made us both look good and i appreciate it. But we have developed a great relationship, i really think that if you go back two and a half years and you look at what was going on prior to my becoming president it was a very, very bad situation. A very dangerous situation for south korea for north korea for the world. I think the relationship that we developed has been so much, to so many people it is an honor to be with you an honor you asked to stoefrp that line i was proud to step over the line i thought you might do that ifrs sure but i was ready to do it i want t
