we go again. my heart goes out to the warmbier family. don t forget what happened to him when they detained him. kim is a tyrant, a thug, a murderer and we have to remember that. and i negotiated one of the largest sanctions in a generation against north korea when i was on the security council at the united nations. and what i will say to biden, if you go talk to him, i can tell you what kim will want. he will want sanctions lifted. we cannot do it. you cannot lift sanctions. what has kept kim jong unin line is because we put pressure on him. he needs to know there will be hell to pay if he hurts that soldier. it is troubling and concerning. you can t trust kim or north korea and let china know we re watching you. china is the one that can make a difference in this. we ll see what they do in that process. bill: beijing pulls all the cards in that country.

as they had determined that this was something that wasn t reversible. he would have known immediately. reporter: why would president trump have said he believed kim? analysts say it could have been for political expediency. human rights groups have not been given access to the administration which is pry prioritizing denuclearization. reporter: analyst the warmbiy was awarded $500 million in a wrongful death lawsuit. experts say it s unlikely the family will collect much, if any, of that. what could happen is the americans could use the warmbier case as possible leverage in negotiating any sanctions relief for north korea. brian todd, cnn, washington. the ceo of the san francisco giep
