time after kim jong-un. the summit's goal right now unclear. the president described it as a getting to know you pleating plus. lately his advisers have been aiming higher. the president tweeted a number of tweets early in the morning. the fact that i'm having a meeting is a major loss for the u.s. we have our hostages, testing, research and all missile launches have stopped. and these pundits who have called me wrong from the beginning have nothing else they can say, we will be fine. the president a few misspellings in the word missile and others. over the weekend he said he'll know in the first minute by feel and touch if kim is serious about denuclearization. although, the definition may be different for north korea than it is for the u.s. he left the meeting having just dismissed some of our oldest and closest allies. jeff zeleny joins us with a quick rundown on how this is expected to play out. >> we have not seen this ever before. a sitting president sitting down, shaking hands with the leader of north korea. it's the one on one meeting that has led them to this point.

courageous can make peace. >> president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un signing a historic agreement, promising the world will see major change. the u.s. offering protection for north korea, kim jong-un committing to denuclearization. >> we both want to do something, we both are going to do something. we have developed a very special bond. people are going to be very impressed. >> he even showed him the inside of the presidential limo, saying he will invite him to the white house. he referenced a science fiction movie describing the summit. >> what's next for the two nations and what it all means for the korean peninsula. >>> worldwide reaction coming in at this hour. trump and kim face to face. the historic summit. continuing coverage right now on "america this morning." >>> good tuesday morning. we're going to start with the scene that unfolded in singapore. president trump and kim jong-un exchange warm greetings, kind words in the quest for a nuclear free north korea. >> the two leaders signed a letter that included a commitment from the u.s. to provide what's called uni

morning kim jong-un arrived in singapore. here is his motorcade as he makes his way to the singapore area prime minister. in minutes he is going to sit down with him. >> these are live pictures he is en route to meet with singapore's prime minister. we know president trump and his team are a few hours behind fresh off the trip to the g7 where president trump met with other world leaders and went against some of america's closest allies. >> leagues to the meeting that seems impossible. a face-to-face sit-down between the leader of the free world and one of the most notorious dictators in the world. our team of reporters are arounded world here covering this event. nibertson is live in south korea. we start with kaitlyn collins who is live on the ground in singapore. what do you know about the bilateral meeting we are just learning about now? is this something that was planned? >> reporter: kim jong-un got here not long ago and came through city wasn't to the hotel where he is staying and now he is scheduled to meet with the prime minister from singapore. not a surprise exactly since that i

leader signed does not include, verify. over night we've seen kim jong-un safe vorg the spot lite getting that perch. he's wanted the world stage promising to least past behind but we nont know when and how he'll step into the future. cae i did will of all of this, tens of thousands of troops, president trump brushing off the idea of cutting back the number of forces on the korean peninsula, but calling off joint military exercises in the region. >> can you be specific about what assurances you are willing to give to kim jong-un? does that include r milita capabilities? >> we're not reducing anything. i want to get our soldiers out. i want to bring our soldiers we will be stopping the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of money. we have right now 32,000 soldiers in south korea. and i'd like to beaible able tg them back home. i haven't slept in 25 hours. it does take a long stime to pull off complete denuclearization. it takes a long time. we will do it as fast as it can mechanically and physically be done. means it's pretty much over. we'll be verifying. the sanction

hours with a handshake between president trump and kim jong-un. it will be interesting to add to the suspense. this will be a one-on-one meeting between trump and kim. who knows how this will play out once the leaders are put in a room alone together. 9:15, local time, they are supposed to speak one-on-one just with their translators. a few hours later, if they can get to it, donald trump says he will size up kim jong-un in the first minute or so. they will have a working lunch at 11:30 local time to hash out the details. possibly denuclearization. before all that, let's get a quick check of where the markets close in the united states because we have to check that as well. taking a look at that, the dow was flat. s&p 500 up by .1%. the nasdaq up by .2%. really pushing a little bit higher as we look to an abatement of the tensions of the trade drama as well. but take a look at what is happening in terms of asia-pacificutures. for the most part, those are looking positive. nearly .5 percent. the nikkei flat right now. kospi futures up a fraction. the new zealand and that 50 down nzx 5

-- out a difference universe. to see president trump and kim jong un together at this historic summit. it was a scene to see the two leader together. the question is in the end as you know is exactly what the leader accomplished here. as you saw during the signing ceremony. in the last hour. i tried to ask the president what exactly was accomplished here. did kim jong un agree to denuclearization. that process is beginning and quickly. if you look at the agreement that both leader signed, it does appear this is just the beginning of the process. certainly not the end of the process. and nothing binding at this point. of course we'll hear the president come out and talk about this. all day long, it was a bizarre surreal scene. we have only scene pictures of kim jong un on tv. and tv images provided by north korea state tvr. and there he was within a few feet of me. as he was walking by. the president in the long walk after the working lunch he was pointing to the grass. to the landscape. i wasn't sure what they were talking about. it was as if trump was leading kim jong un through one

north korean leader, kim jong—un. this is the scene at the hotel where the north korean delegation is staying. when president trump arrives the two men will hold talks on denuclearisation. companies are to be forced to justify the pay gap between their highest and lowest earners. also this hour — 100 years since some women won the right to vote, processions are taking place all over the uk. women will don the colours of the suffragette movement — green, white and purple. and in a moment... dateline takes a look at how the issues of the week are being tackled around the world. hello, a very good morning, and welcome to bbc news. the g7 summit has ended in disarray, with a war of words between president trump and the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. mr trudeau said canada would not be pushed around on trade tariffs. mr trump then accused him of being "dishonest and weak". the president has withdrawn his endorsement of a joint communique on the importance of free trade. from quebec, our correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. scarcely 2a hours after the president arrived at a su

since president trump and chairman kim jong-un met in singapore. it is a welcome improvement to see the two of them having a dialogue rather than engaging in rattlinging and saber which, given north korea's capabilities, is truly dangerous for every american. although we are all rooting for diplomacy to succeed, we have to be clear eyed about what a diplomatic success looks like. please, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula, nothing less. when a country like north korea, with a leader who is as ruthless as kim jong-un is, has nuclear weapons and icbms that can threaten the u.s., photo ops will not do. we need followthrough. we need to see that that danger is removed. and yet, president trump seems to have given away two or three of the major things that kim jong-un wanted. a meeting, flags next to each other, no delay of exercises with south korea, without getting anything in return. a danger to america is ever present. what do we believe? first, this is democrats. korea musth dismantle and remove every single one of its nuclear, chemical, and biological wea

north korean leader, kim jong-un next week. this took place at the heritage foundation in washington. >> welcome. first an admin thing if you have a phone turned off or turn it to vibrate. the event today is the u.s. and north korea summit that was canceled or postponed so i guess we got it right. all they over the weekend one of the panelists tongue-tied said now that trump officially said we are back on, should we change the title? can we said well, it will probably change two or three times before the event or our event even. but actually, there's a bit of a story behind the event. when i lined up the six panelists, the first three and that we have a second panel focused particularly on japan. i had not got around to sending the notification flyer. i came in one morning and i said, i'm going to do nothing else this morning but get the flyer out. just the slum it and was going to happen in one of the implications. and i was interrupted by a phone call. i said i just want to get the flyer out. i said okay, cnn, i can do an interview. 20 minutes? sure. i'm on the way. canc

paths past. but kim jong-un, he wanted the photos. the seat at the table. he wanted the legitimacy that came with the event. the handshake with america's president. he wanted those military exercises with the americans and the south koreans that happened every year to stop. kim jong-un got it all for actually doing nothing. plus, he got a promise. lacking specifics granted of security for the north korean regime. a regime that has an estimated 120,000 political prisoners across the nation. a regime that tortures and murders its own citizens, impresons children for the actions of parents and grandparents and a leader that has committed crimes against humanity. president trump insisted the people of the most entrenched land in all the world, north korea, love their leader. president trump says he trusts chairman kim. and that he's ready to start a new chapter with north korea. what will the president's special bond with kim jong-un mean for the u.s. and its allies? no specifics. president trump and kim signed a joint statement after almost five hours of talks. in the document, the no

meeting at the white house, as we could see and witness the warming of relations between the united states into north korea. we are watching the scene that you see before us. "outnumbered overtime." i'm harris faulkner. a top aide it to kim jong un, due to arrive at the white hous. possibly minutes away to hand-deliver a letter. kim young chol, considered kim jong un's right-hand man. he is visiting washington. he has been here this week after two days of talks with secretary of state mike pompeo. america's top diplomats is real progress has been made toward the summit, which increasingly looks like it is back on after the president canceled that sit down last week. watch. speak always made real progress in the last 72 hours. at the conditions are putting them in a place where we think that there can be real progress made by the two of the meeting. it does no good if we don't think that there is a real opportunity to put them together. but we have made real progress toward that. >> harris: kevin has more from the north lawn. the opposite of the picture that you are seeing right now. we are hearing details about who will be greeting the north korean official. >> it is a very interesting opportunity for this white house, harris, not just for people like john bolton. team each with their counterparts, this is really a chance to once again, solidify this idea that relationships can be built today can have a lasting impact not just on the united states and on north korea, but on the entire globe. as you pointed out, the north koreans are expected to arrive within minutes. certainly could be within minutes, if it takes longer than that, it certainly could be within the hour. looking just beyond the camera there, i am seeing a number of things here. if that happens, we will break away. it is also fair to say that we have seen a great deal of advancement for this idea of the summit, harris, over the last couple of days as you point out, they have been up there in the city. mike pompeo, meeting with kim young chol, talking about the idea of the summit. what can they do, what can they agree upon? it is also important to point out here -- i think we have to be fair and honest about this, we have seen them make promises, dating back back to the bill cn era. and then they go back on those promises, so i think it is fair to say that the white house is looking at this soberly but optimistically. >> harris: you know, what is interesting, if this turns out to be something from another meeting that was already going to be happening between mike pompeo and the president today, this turned out to be that opportunity. we believe this, and that is what we are being told, a letter being carried from kim jong un. we have not been given any details, but we know the letters have played an important role of and all of this, or at least a significant point to talk about. the president wrote a letter when it looks like the summit was off, and now we have a letter being delivered from kim jong un. >> very interesting. and anytime you're talking about and written correspondence, there is the idea that this is something very important. this direct line of communication. i think you hit the nail on the head and describing the present reaching out to kim jong un after he canceled the previous meeting. he said right to me if you want to keep open the dialogue, and in fact, kim jong un has written him that letter that will be brought here by kim young chol. i want to play to you a quick sound bite. talking about this idea that we have worked to gather, this is a long process, harris, but he is very optimistic about what could be a historic meeting yet to come. take a look. >> if the north koreans are prepared in fact it to denuclearize, this includes all elements of their nuclear plan, if we can convince them that their security is greater, that it is if they continue to hold onto their program, -- the secretary of state who also took to twitter. he said something really interesting. i want to emphasize one word. he said the president has made it clear that if kim jong un denuclearize is, there is a brighter path, and then he said this. a strong, connected, secure, and prosperous north korea. that is really what is at the heart of the american offer to pyongyang. do you want to be secure? we can offer you that. would you like to be prosperous? we can help you do that too. >> harris: we know that it is a regime that has a history of knocking off its own people. so when you're talking about security, not just keeping the regime together with kim jong un at the top of. potentially, that is keeping him alive as well. i want to get this information. so we know with our john roberts inside the oval office, they were just called to the south lawn. and there was a microphone pop up at the bottom of our screen. we are watching that door. we are anticipating the arrival to be much by national security advisor john bolton. a chief of staff john kelly as well. so what you mentions the black suv, you can see it falling into place now. security and others off to the rights of the screen. so this could potentially be imminent. the arrival of kim young chol. kevin. >> and i believe that that is what you are noticing there. you will see the enhanced security sort of throughout the hour. we had an idea based on the previously scheduled meeting between the president and of mike pompeo. that was set for 1:00 p.m. that would certainly make sense to kind of dovetail from this meeting, and then will come in the north koreans, as we continue to watch. i noticed that they are beginning to push people back. that usually is a clear indication that something, perhaps the vip, in this case, is on their way. >> harris: he is inside. he said that we now can confirm, we now can report that kim young chol will meet briefly with the president of the united states donald trump inside the oval office. should start shortly. that is what we are now able to say. we knew that he would be carrying a letter. and now the right hand person for kim jong un. we knew that he was carrying a letter, and now, we can officially report that the two men will be meeting. this is huge history that is being made right now. high officials for the first time in decades our meeting with top officials and our government. we are covering it all coming forward. it will come back to you outside the white house as well. i want to bring in my first guest, republican congressman joe wilkinson. he sits on the armed services committee. and mr. wilson is one of the few members of congress who have been to north korea. great to have your perspective today. i just want to let you know we are going to keep up the life picture, congressman. and we could be breaking news together. first of all, what do you think of the letter? >> well, i think it is very significant because we are waiting on the delivery of the letter today. it was only a year ago that north korea threatened a delivery of a nuclear weapon to vaporize the people of guam. the american citizens represented out there. you imagine how far we have come? >> harris: you know, also, you talk about the difference a year can make. the difference a week in may. we have another letter to talk about here. and all of the conversations that have gone on, and what has been written in recent days and weeks. fico rights. it was just a week ago last night that the president issued his famous letter. sadly, democrats dismissed this as being infantile. but it has proven to be very visionary. and again, living up to his promises for the american people. >> harris: as we watched this to you from the south lawn right now, we see a little bit of activity there. what is the preparation with suddenly a north korean official headed to the white house? >> well, it has never occurred. because in fact, the presence of north and south korea have only met four times in 65 years. this is so unprecedented. putting things in perspective, having three hostages released, but it was only a year ago, junr was killed by the same regime. >> harris: no, you're absolutely right. and of course, all of the back and forth. and those families now are with their loved ones. came home anja died a few days later. not part of the situation, but while this president has been an office. so the difference, when you talk about the difference between what it looks like and feels like now, that is one thing that we can point to. so grateful to have them home. you may have noticed that you have to chief of staff john kelly walkout for just a moment. that could mean that we are just seconds are moments away from some sort of an arrival. we know that they will be meeting. could be more than one, but we are expecting kim young chol. what can you tell me at this time about the conversations we've heard from secretary of state mike pompeo about where the conversations need to be ahead of potentially june 12? >> you put it in perspective. extraordinary individual. and then they are people that the president knows he can count on. and we appreciate nikki haley. begins with the vice president of mike pence. he has surrounded himself with extraordinary people who know how to provide peace through strength. that is what we're seeing today. and as the response i north korea now comes to the white house. >> harris: all right, we are told that we may be seconds away from this, so we are going to keep it full screen. i'm so glad you are with us you break it down. from the perspective of having -- >> it is historic. >> harris: it is historic. and you talk about what could be on committees, did you think this could be? at the white house? >> i wish i could tell you yes, i did. no, they put together a delegation. and it to see how far this has come, that's where the sanctions would be released. this would be a normal relationship. one of the wealthiest countries on earth. the consequences of doing business with the united states of america. >> harris: and wasn't it interesting the way that this administration -- you hear the description of how different the country's or at. no light. and then you hear the president saying that the north could be as vibrant. i am going to break enough. we are not sure who is in the vehicle, but what we do know, congressman wilson, is that north korea is a kim young chol is expected to be here. we do see john kelly now. we see the delegation coming out to greet among them, national security advisor john bolton as well. so more than one north korean official arriving at the white house. we understand former top five right-hand man of kim jong un carrying an important letter for the present of the united states. north korea's leadership inside the white house. you are washing history being made right now. and representative wilson, you were putting in the high-stakes picture together. please bring this into focus because they have just walked into the doors of the white house. we expect the president moments from now to meet in the oval office with kim young chol. >> and understand, he is the head of intelligence. he is the right him for some the dictator. you are dealing with the number two person of a dictatorship. he has total authority. >> harris: number two person of a dictatorship that we have not been this close to. what you said, ever. and what does this mean to have these men shake hands. that's all live camera, we can't control that. as there is more action, we will take you there live. the presence of the united states and kim young chol our meeting. >> and indeed, we have an armistice with north korea. it is not a peace treaty. we technically could be considered still at work. so i am so proud of president trump and his leadership. >> harris: what do you see to the critics? they are spies, high until, we shouldn't be negotiating. it's that relationship that our former head of the cia mike pompeo may have ushered this in in a way that negotiations could be happening. we are live outside the white house. they are walking to the oval office. you see at the top of the screen there that is chief of staff john kelly. and you see this delegation from our side and their side. and kim young chol's they are talking with, walking with the president's chief of staff. you are watching this live as they had to the oval office. your thoughts? >> that was considered hopeless too. now we see the transformation of china and emerging hopefully -- good news for the people of that country. >> harris: you know, as you look at this, and that june 12 states comes ahead, the committees that you serve on, concentrating on foreign policy end. it is this the sort of timetable that you expected? >> it is going to be much quicker. and i want to give credit to the chairman of the foreign affairs committee. we have worked together to promote better relationships and to provide for what is occurring today. >> harris: representative wilson from the great state of south carolina, so glad to have you on for this breaking news. >> what a historic time. >> harris: historic moment. >> and it was great. thanks. >> harris: he served as a foreign policy advisor to president obama's campaign in 2008 and is a former state department official under president george w. bush. so for many years, talked about and strategized about how to reach out to north korea and make something like this happen today. wiping away the politics, i would imagine, and what are your thoughts? >> well, it is an extraordinary moment. you saw kim young chol walking shoulder to shoulder with john kelly into the oval office. there hasn't been a meeting like this at the end of it president clinton's term. it is also fraught with problem problems. he had to get a special waiver just to come from new york to d.c. normally, you would not let a person like this who is sanctio sanction, who has engaged in acts of war against south korea, who has engaged in sabotage, peer at the white house. i think it is appropriate under these extraordinary circumstances because kim jong un wanted him to be the adversary to president trump. he has a right to choose his emissary. it is very odd for it to happen in this way. we have to look at what is going to happen in this way. we have to hope that kim young chol isn't going to try to exploit the opportunity to meet with president trump. will he try to find a way to make distinctions with president trump and his staff? we have seen that before were president trump has contradicted his previous secretary of state when he was on his way to meet with north korea, president trump said it was a waste of time. so i hope -- >> harris: could i throw something in right there? because i hear your criticism there, and i have heard others say this, but this is the president who has talked about getting to the negotiating table maybe or maybe not. sitting down, they'd be getting out. is it possible -- and i'm just asking, but some of what you're talking about is the kind of back and forth that happens when you have two very strong personalities making words and tweets and everything for the world to see? i mean, you're not leaving the possibility that, if i may say so, david, that this is kind of big dan. and what you can't argue about is the success of what is happening right now. the last and only time that we have seen a north korean official visit the white house is happening right now. everybody, i want you to kind of peak where there the window. you may have to lean in, that is what everyone is doing right there. you saw them scurrying around trying to get a shot. that is history behind such a glass. that is history with our president of the united states meeting with the second most powerful person inside it north korea. dictator kim jong un's right-hand man, kim young chol. and we would have to be a fly on the wall to know exactly what they are saying right now, but we will know because john roberts is here. and inside the oval office right now, we expect to learn what they're talking about through that full reporting. so we have a silent picture. but we will have video and words, we are anticipating, moments from now. we have been told this will be a short meeting. we will know the history that is being made. across two different political administrations joining me now. i asked you a question about success and what it took to get here, and honestly looking at the back and forth and may be seeing a different way, and you say what? >> i think it's a fair point. we have gotten to this point, this is extraordinary. i agree that no one would have predicted that we would be at this point. but there are sort of but sam starts to this process. just last week, it was canceled. somehow, we are back on track. that is due to mike pompeo, who has worked very hard, very determined to keep these discussions on point. he has no broker this discussion between kim jong un -- it is a very careful, sensitive conversation. we have to hope that it goes well. moving towards a potential so much. and the key question what is going to come out of the summit? they have been right to push for the full denuclearization by north korea, but it is not entirely clear whether north korea and its leaders are going to agree to that. >> harris: you are looking at hand, and i am looking at this picture. and i don't know if you can see it from where you are, but president trump is meeting with the topic north korean official, kim young chol, second in command under kim jong un in north korea. and they are inside the oval office, and my first question would be what is in the letter? you know. you have termed what you thought of what president trump wrote, but quite frankly, they are meeting now. so whatever was in the president's letter that's made him hit on target did so. i wonder what is in this next letter. and then my other question would be what the relationship is like. remember, this is not just a person who is meeting the president right now. this is a person who has had a couple of meetings just of this it, more meetings and a fuller history, this north korean official, and are now secretary of state mike pompeo. they have the previous relationship. this is a person who he met with. first the president heard about that, we all did yesterday from pompeo. and so this is a person who was brought to the oval office, if you will, through the journey of someone the president has appointed antitrust data. your thoughts? >> well, i think that's absolutely right. again, the secretary of state deserves a lot of credit for this, mike pompeo, for pushing this forward. again, this is also the person who is sanctioned by the united states because of his conduct. killed a number of south korean soldiers because he sponsored these cyber attacks on sony here in the united states. this is not a person that we should consider hero. he is simply an emissary. >> harris: no one is calling him heroic. >> we need to be realistic about what is happening here. the white house is putting its credibility on the line, even having someone like this in the white house. i agree it should happen but only because this is the chosen emissary of the north korean leader, and we are trying to make some concessions. it is appropriate, but this is not a person that anyone in the united states would ever want to seen with under ordinary circumstances. he is sanctioned for good reason, and he probably should be in jail rather than in the white house. see when you know what is interesting about what you are saying. we saw a sanctioned person come with the delegation as well there. and that's may have been for all we know the beginning of a warming of possibility here. because that was also -- remember how closely seated she was to a member of the trump family who was also at the olympics. i want to tell everybody what you're looking at. thank you for joining me, i appreciate your perspective across to different administrations. on the left side of your screen, through that window, some movements that you see. that is the oval office. that is where the presence of the united states is meeting for the first time in nearly 20 years with a top korean official, kim young chol. for the first time in nearly 20 years, to go to the white house. on the right side, you get to see from moment to go -- we watched it live, we are not bringing you that m

and potentially ground breaking face-to-face meeting with kim jong-un. >> the president calls an unknown territory in the truest sense. both sides say the goal is de-nuclearization. most likely the term means different things to both men. the secretary of state reaffirmed that president trump is fully prepared for an engagement that we will begin one-on-one, the president and kim jong-un meeting alone except for translator before a larger session with aides. our coverage begins with caitlyn collins. what is the expectation now? >> reporter: well, anderson, we are 12 hours out from the first handshake between president trump and kim jong-un. when secretary of state mike pompeo briefed reporters not long ago he made clear that the any firm commitment about de-nuclearization. while he sounded optimistic about what is going to happen tomorrow he did say the united states will not be deceived as they believe past administrations who have dealt with north korea have. >> the united states has been fooled before. there is no doubt about it. many presidents previously have signed off on p

strong basis. >>> and on tour, kim jong-un has been taking in the sites of singapore, even posing for a selfie, as he projects a different image to the world. >>> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in singapore, where it is midnight. midnight monday night. kim jong-un is just back from touring the night life here in this remarkable city. president trump has not been seen since arriving, but the white house is telling reporters that talks today between diplomats from both sides are going so well, that president trump plans to leave ahead of schedule tomorrow night, right after the summit sessions, which start with the two leaders meeting one on one. with only translators in the room. >> i'm very optimistic we'll have a successful outcome between these two leaders. it's the case in each of those two countries, there are only two people that can make decisions of this magnitude. and those two people are going to be sitting in a room together tomorrow. >> this all comes after the president's unprecedented attack on a key ally. canada's prime minister trudeau, sending off shockwaves t
