You come back on a very busy day. Theres a lot to get to. Just as President Trump departs on his second foreign trip since taking office, he is facing the biggest test of his presidency so far. Its the growing crisis with north korea. This morning, theres new launches, new video from that rogue state. All of this ahead of his meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin. Weve got it all covered, beginning with Kristen Welker at the white house. Kristen, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning to you. President trump is moments away from departing for poland and the stakes couldnt be higher, after north korea launched its most advanced weapons test yet. Nikki haley has requested a National Security council meeting. Now, the white house is asking for the Global Community the take action. Overnight, a show of force. The pentagon releasing these images, showing the u. S. And south Korean Military firing missiles into the water off south korea. This, after pentagon officials confirmed that north korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. Rex tillerson said the u. S. Condemns the launch, calling it a new global threat. The North Koreans releasing new video of the launch overnight, along with pictures of kim jongun celebrating its success. The leader urging the nations i scientists to send gifts to the yankees in an effort to taunt the u. S. In the fourth of july remarks, President Trump not mentioning the threat. May god bless our military. May god bless, forever, the United States of america. Reporter but behind the scenes, crisis meetings under way, with an eye towards china. Mr. Trump has tried to foster a strong relationship with president xi. Even hosting president xi at his resort at maralago in november. The relationship between president xi and myself is outstanding. Reporter but weeks ago, the president seemed to lose hope, tweeting, chinas efforts to pressure north korea have not worked out. Now, the president renewing his call to action. Saying that china should put a heavy move on its north korean ally. The year of strategic patience with the north korean regime has failed. Reporter all this, before taking office, dutrump in janua, saying north korea just stated that it is in the final stages of development of a Nuclear Weapon that can reach the u. S. It wont happen. Now, the president will urge partners and allies, including china and japan and south korea to stand up against north korea. The administration signaling military action is still a last resort. The bottom line is, it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into combat. Reporter the president s first stop overseas will be warsaw, where leaders will look for mr. Trump to reaffirm his commitment to nato. Thats something he didnt do in his first european trip. His first stop will be hamburg, germany, where he will be able the press chinas president and the leers of japan and south korea, facetoface, to get tougher on north korea. Kristen welker at the white house. A lot at stake here. Lets bring in former security analyst jeremy bash. Americans have become accustomed to hearing about missile tests from north korea. Why is this different . It flew for 40 minutes. But its 1,700 miles into space. That means they could put a missile on americas doorstep, putting it in range of alaska and potentially hawaii. With a country that has 20 Nuclear Weapons worth of material, this indicates a significant prove vags, savannah. Its the techt missile test this year. By far, the most successful. Does it appear theyre making rapid progress . Or does it seem like that from the casual observers point of view . No, extraordinary success in the last six months. Theyve had failures but they learn from their failures as much as successes. The last big test was midmay. They flew the missile a similar distance. Once they cross 3,000 miles, they can range the United States. The president had tweeted back in january, it wont happen. The north isnt going to test a missile that can reach the u. S. And yet, it has happened. What are the potential responses here . One thing they havent done yet, is they havent miniaturi e miniaturized a Nuclear Weapon and put it on top of an icbm. That would cause the International Community and the United States to think about preemptive military actions. Well try forceful diplomacy. Well try to rally ill lie ra europe. When the president tweets he want china and others to end this nonsense, i think kim jongun sees that as a threat. Hes going to try to advance his Capabilities Even more. This would have to be the most significant and severe International Crisis this administration has faced. Absolutely because theres no good options. If we take preemptive military action, as we said many times before, we have 30,000 troops on the korean peninsula, it would be a deaf stating military conflict. Jeremy bash, appreciate it. Along with north korea, President Trumps meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin will also dominate headlines this week, as the two get set to shake hands for the first time this friday. Nbcs keir simmons is in hamburg, germany, where the g20 summit will take place. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. President trump faces a tough trip here with uncomfortable conversations. As jeremy and kristen mentioned, north korea will come up when he meets with the chinese leader here. He does not see eyetoeye with the german chancellor who is hosting the g20. But all eyes will be on the meeting with president putin. The details of that meeting on friday are up in the air. The most anticipated meeting of two World Leaders in years. On the agenda, the russians say, terrorism, ukraine, and one kremlin leader emphasizing, breaking the impasse in u. S. Russian relations. President trump and president putin have spoken by phone. And the men talk about each other often. President putin hailing mr. Trump outstanding before the election. And mr. Trump, saying puting was a better leader than obama. The allegations of russian intervention in the election, have locked the leaders early romance. Trump accusing president obama of doing nothing about russian meddling. Last month, the russian president spoke with megyn kelly and had this to say abhis relationship with President Trump. We didnt have any relationship at all. There was a time when he came to mosc moscow. But i never met with him. Reporter adding to the tension, hamburg is preparing for thousands of demonstrators. Overnight, protests were met with riot police and water ca n canon. President putin will be prepared. President trump, the selfstyled negotiator. I know how to negotiate things. I do it really well. But its possible i wont be able to get along with putin. Reporter the Power Dynamics as they shake hands for the first time, will be analyzed around the world. President trump will be hoping for cheering crowds when he touches down in poland late tonight. The poles and many european leaders will be pushing him to be tough on russia.
