North korea s kim jong-un and just days before the summit between north and south korea. let s bring in dennis wilder former assistant to the president and senior director for east asian affairs at the national security council. ahead of these meetings, everyone starts to position themselves for what they want to get out of it. from your perspective, what does abe want out of this meeting? hi, dana. this is a very, very important meeting to prime minister abe. he wants to make sure he and the president of the united states are operating from the same play book on north korea. one of the things that he s most concerned about is that the united states not cut a deal with the north koreans on intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear weapons on them, without cutting a similar deal on shorter range missiles on nuclear weapons that can strike japan. he s also concerned that the subject of abductees from japan ....
