warning to the united states, is kim jong-un s regime about to start testing nukes again? going to the shawn mendes verizon up concert was like an out of body experience. we were right in front of him. dead center. front row. cause actually, zarmina, you touched shawn mendes. yeah, i touched him! she touched shawn mendes! he like held my hand for a while. and then we got to meet him after, which was like. another surprise. yeah. we love verizon even more now. i ll never forget that day. ever.

other won t speak up or only speak in support of president. where will republicans stand when the vote is called? and testing nukes again? last month s historic handshake between president trump and kim jong-un seems like a fading memory. as north korea issues a veiled threat to the united states. it kim s regime about to start testing nukes again? i m wolf blitzer and you re in the situation room. announcer: this is cnn breaking news. breaking news, amid stunning displays of anger and frustration, the house of representatives is preparing to vote on a democratic resolution condemning the president s, quote, racist comments that have legitimized an increased fear and hatred of new americans and people of color. and while some republican lawmakers have now criticized the president s tweets, their leaders have not and the president is calling on the gop not to show weakness by joining
to any kind of promise he might have made about testing nukes. and so i think what the president is trying to do is play the good guy here to kim jong-un. so, look, this is the way spy craft works if. you ask me and i don t work for the cia but if you ask anybody who does, the fact that you could recruit kim jong-un s half brother is a big deal. as an asset. and for a president of the united states so say, no, i would never do that and i m that would never happen under me is kind of stunning. because one wishes it could. so i think today was confusing. and he didn t want to go into it. it is clear. he just said we re doing very well and he kind of smoothed that one right over, or tried to. right. waiting to see maybe perhaps what was in the letter and if there are guarantees for a third summit or not. dana bash, bringing you in in washington there to join this conversation. another piece of what he was asked about or he brought up,
we haven t heard this acronym, cbid, that the used in the first summit. i think trump divert some credit reducing tensions with north korea. no longer testing nukes, no longer flinging missiles over japan. we are no longer at the brink of war, which it seemed like at points during president trump s first year. arms control experts would say that it s time to show concrete and verifiable progress on the north or inside so we have some assurance that this is leading toward denuclearization and not an acknowledgment of north korea as a nuclear power. bret: i mentioned this last night with another panel, but the hunger for north korea to be an economic powerhouse. the president reference it in his tweet, he s referenced it a lot. second summit in singapore, economically blooming. summit here, doing great. do we have a thought on what kim s thought process on economics is? i would be surprised if kim
set the first time around and that s why i think president trump is at risk of making concession because he wants a victory that s not a photo op. realistically speaking, what would a win for the united states look like coming out of this a week from now? we re not go having to a win because what we eneed is north korea showing they re really interested in denucleerization by giving osinventory of their missile and nuclear program. agree on a road map and a timeline. which they re not going to do. they ll say we ll continue halt on testing nukes and missiles and they ll maybe put a cap on their nuclear program and dismantle a missile facility they already agreed to. the problem is there was no agreement. there was this aspirational statement from the singapore summit. north korea, they re talking about south korea too.
