If he doesnt, people will say, he was stood up by chairman im. Reportethe two meet it would be the first times. U. And north korean leaders would come face to face at the dmz and mark the third meeting between the two me their last summit ended abruptly with no deal. We wont call it eye summit, well call it a handshake if it does happen. Eporter it all caps the high stakes Foreign Policy talks at the g20 summit where President Trump announced overnight that talks have resumed between the u. S. And china hitting the pause button on ade war that had Global Markets on edge.

It seemed like maybe you didnt really meanhe it wyou said yesterday, dont medal in our elections, mr. President ,d an then you guys both started laughing. Youre going to have to take a lookt the words, i did say it. Rorter but offered this explanation. He denies it totally. How many times can you get somebody to deny something . P has in thet denied it. Hes denied it also publicly. Reporter and the president weighing in on the battle to reace him after senator Kamala Harris sparred with joe biden about his record on race.

Troops that are stationeds there before heading home on sunday. Peter andhanel. Kristin welker traveling with President Trump. Thank you. Lets turn to jeremy bash ing was in the obama p de trumpt inviting kim jongun to the Demilitarized Zone. Put this into perspective for us. The last talks broke down. Since then north korea has started missile tests. Whats the risk reward . My possible thought is, hey, i happen to be in the neighborhood, can we get together . It looks a littleit sad, adespe. North korea has not dismantled its Nuclear Program in violation of u. N. Security council resolutions. I think this is a hug concession if it happens and we get very little for it. Lets talk about Vladimir Putin if we can for a second. The president and pineeting during the course of this summit. The first time they were thgether since Robert Mueller determined that russian government was responsible for interfering in the 2016 election in a sweeping andystematic fashion. The president seemed to brush off the russians not interfering and on fake news even though they are said to kill 25 journalists since putin came to power. Now hes inviting putin to commemorate the end of . World wr yeah, peter, i think the president is giving a green light to russia to medal again in our 2020on elec and in effect what weve gone with through the president , first he said no collusion, then he said collusion isnt a crime and recently he said collusion is good, i welcome it and i wouldnt tell the fbi. So when he sits next to Vladimir Putin and the head of ssia, in a sense he says, we welcome your involvement. He sends the wrong signal. The president does often seem tre at ease when hes with strong menn when hes with americas own allies. Let me put up a picture from ou couple of h ago. 24 this i the g20 picture. Thats mohamed bin salman. The two engaged in a good conversation thioere. The president said he was very angry with the saudis and the fact that theyre responsible for the death a of Washington Post columnist but he also praised the crown prince there even though the u. N. Determined it was the crown prince and the royal fily that were behind this. Does this give more ammunition to the president s critics . Theres a littl for every autocrat. We talked about north korea, we talked about russia. Hes made a huge concession to china, to xi shipping ping on the issue of trade and were going to hold off on tariffs and sell to awei. Nows he needs our gulf arab partners to confront iran, which is very much still a tinder box in the northeast. Can i ask you one c na question . Yes. You brought up huawei. The president banned American Companies fm providing products tohueive tol py n in the u. S. But around the globe. Th president seems toave backed off. He has gotten criticism. The message there . From e National Security perspective, its very concerning. What the president may be saying, we me hav security concerns, but you may buy your way out. If you pay us enough, well relax our policies.
