gathering. it is the first time we will hear from him since the summit with kim jong-un. it ended abruptly without the two sides reaching a deal. kim jong-un is back to pyongyang. north korea is portraying the summit as a success that deepened the trust between the two leaders. it's a different story for mr. trump. he left without a deal and upset the parents of otto warmbier. here is mr. trump's response when asked by supporters whether he raised the issue with the north korean leader, kim jong-un. >> he felt badly. he knew the case very well. he tells me he didn't know about it. i will take him at his word. >> that provoked this angry response from warmbier's family. >> kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of otto. they are responsible for cruelty and inhumanity. no excuses or lavish praise can change that. president trump says he was misinterpreted. he says he was the one that got their son out of north korea and he holds north korea responsible. an adviser to president trump, kelli kellyanne conway had this to say. >> the president is saying that there's no in

president trump's decision to walk ouulk that meeting with kim jong-un. he insists despite both men leaving without a deal, the second summit was not a failure. and the possibility of a third summit could be on the table. depending on kim jong-un's next move, he also said the president laid out a clear offer, and now they will wait and see. >> i think it was unquestionably a success for the united states, because the president protected, defended american interest. the possibility was there for north korea to make a big deal with us, to do complete denuclearization in exchange for the potential for a very bright economic future. the president wanted to make that big deal. he pushed very hard for it. the north koreans were not willing to walk through the door that he opened for them. so now we'll see what happens. if you can't get a good deal and the president offered north korea the best deal it could possibly get, no deal is better than a bad deal. >> joining me now, contributing editor to the atlantic and cnn political commentator, peter binart and former analyst for policy, josep
