June 13th. Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside Yasmine Vossoughian and lewisbu an active night on social media, the president tweeted about meeting with kim jongun. Twice thanking him for taking the first bold step to meet and suspend nuclear tests. He took aim at domestic critics said a ago that said the job couldnt be done begging for conciliation and peace. Now that we met and have a great relationship with kim jongun, same haters shoutout you shouldnt meet, do not meet. He said more in an interview on fox news. Other administrations, i don a policy of silence. If you said something bad and threatening and horrible, dont answer. Thats not the answer. Thats not what you have to do. I think the rhetoric, i hated to do it. Sometimes i felt foolish doing strategically you do it. Yeah, and you gain respect. He is a strong guy. People say whats he like. He has a very good personality, he is funny and very, very smart, hes a great negotiator. Hes a very strategic kind of guy. Talk about the difference between past administrations. Yes, but i cant say that, i dont want to be the one saying it. At some point im sure hell say it. What would he have to do to get sanctions lifted to get the Economic Opportunity opened up for the people. He wants security. I understand that, and hell get that. He wants to see if they can make that incredible location, it is incredible, between china and south korea. Think of it. Im in the real estate business, think of that. How good a location is that. You have china and south korea in the middle of both of them surrounded by water. Thats called hard to do anything better than that. It is beautiful land, incredibl land. I think he understands that. I told him about that today. Meanwhile, reuters reports north korean state media told its audience that President Trump agreed to lift sanctions against north korea in addition to providing security guarantees, and that state run media quoted two top leaders gladly accepted each others invitation to visit the others nation, yet specifics of the agreement seem to be ahead, lack of detail leads to caution from capitol hill, Mitch Mcconnell suggesting eventual deal must be submitted to congress, something the president said himself last night. I think it would be widespread interest in congress for having involvement in this. If the president can reach a significant agreement with the north koreans, i hope it takes the form of a treaty. I think it is important to say we dont yet have a deal with north korea. Jonguto denuclearize. Om kim whatever happens, it will be a durable agreement and long he have tee if the Senate Ratifies it as treaty. Otherwise it doesnt mean much. I would think anybody would want it approved by congress. Lots to breakdown. Joining us, Nbc International news correspondent cal perry. It has begin to sink in a little bit. What are the big take aways besides the president emphasizing north korea is a great piece of real estate between china and south korea. And he understands how planes work. And it is a long flight from guam to north korea. You said it yesterday, military exercises, that was the big thing given to north korea. The thing thats unclear, who knew the president would make that announcement. According to u. S. Forces in south korea telling New York Times we received no updated guidance on execution or cessation of training exercises to include this clause. Exercises they add. We will with current military posture until we receive updated guidance. Theyre not even saying theyre cancelling the exercises. Waiting to hear from jim mattis. We heard from the pentagon on a background briefing he was consulted and theres no drama there. All of this is born out of a system where a president is not communicating with department of defense. He is waiting to feel, he may have not decided to make that concession until then and there. Do you think we are expecting too much to expect more than the joint declaration, do you think we were expecting too much and not getting a drawn out plan as to what happened. We were expecting a show man, a show. Th. Feels like they went into the room, we dont know what was said in that room, on the call between trump and the president of south korea. There we dont know what was said. We got this big show. Kim got a big show. I dont know who benefitted from it more. I am interested if the president was surprised by the have we heard from north koan state news . Theyre super happy about this. Saw papers with full, colorful pictures of the president walking with kim jongun. A lot of talk abo what the s. Gave up, not a lot of talk from north korea about denuclearization. Interesting to hear members of congress say they have been blien blindsided by the issue of exercises. Theres a push to get it ratified. What do u think congress appetite is for this . I get a sense congress is not happy th werent consulted, ment of defense is not happy they werent consulted, this is on the heels of everybody criticizing president obama for taking everything to congress. Did they expect to be consulted in the 24 hour period . Thats a high expectation to have. You look at the state department, we talked about this a lot yesterday, there were no prep meetino level meetings. Working groups in vienna until this was so tedious, it was none of that. It was led by the two leaders. All right. Theres developing news overnight on immigration reform. Moderate and conservative House Republicans have reached a deal to vote on two competing immigration measures next week, according to paul ryans office. His spokeswomanidore details. Said loirepublicans would discu it later this morning. They sought to force votes on broader range of immigration proposals.

He added that republicans could not have asked for a better partner on the specific matters comes to core republican issues. Mcconnell tells nbc indistinguishable from what we would have expected from marco rubio or jeb bush as president. Kansas senator bob dole served the leadership position over 11 years.

All i can say is people at the chris wray was there and did not see it in the faion. So as a factual matter, you dont think that happened.

He worked for doj more than 20 years. His resignation hights growing frustration within the department. The Washington Post reports citing people familiar with the matter as a decision made by Jeff Sessions with white house approval is a bold swipe against the aca which survived this by republicans last year.
