it absolutely helps us with north korea. states was the only country worried about security, the security issue of the iran deal. military in it for contracts and the oil deal. president macri said, if there were no changes, they would be north korea. requires russia and china to agree to that and they were not going to. host: do you see oil prices rising? guest: yes. host: what are the politics of oil prices rising, given the you just said that russia is in this for oil? plans toudi arabia compensate. of up is good for a a lot economies, including russia's, to include other countries that are not in the u.s. orbit. it is an opportunity to see what the next two weeks to 30 days looks like as oil starts to go down because saudi arabia is compensating for the loss of iranian exports. and also iraq will do the same thing. iraq will push out. one of the major concerns i have is that iran starts using iraq as a shell company to offset u.s. sanctions. against him of the reason you are -- european countries won't with them, the rgc

they're not doing us any favor helping us with north korea. they're closer to that crazy guy than we are. they should be worried about it. number three, what kind of deal is it where they say we'll buy more agriculture from america, and in return we're going to keep stealing your stuff. in about five or eight years, they'll dominate biotech, aerospace, be able to listen in to our military secrets, use those. i mean, they are building airplanes -- our airplanes that took us 20 years to innovate, these guys are coming up with these things in two years. they're either that brilliant, which they're not, or they're stealing it from us. >> here's my question for you. is china just an enemy? is there anything we can deal with them on? when you look at what's happening on disputed island, their economic growth, their growth rate, they want to surpass us by 2028. >> right. >> are there deals that could be done or should we treat them in a completely different way and say obviously you guys are out for yourselves, we're out for ourselves, and that's it?

he said he would be better if we did not have to deal with iran. it would help us with north korea. it seems disturbing to me. the deal has already been made. as far as the deal with north korea, i think china should be getting the credit. china is the one negotiating with north korea. i am sorry, but i cannot give -- everythingthis going with the negotiations. i'm interested in how the president thinks in going away withthe iran deal helping north korea with their negotiations. thank you. and itgood question shines a problem donald trump has. it is better if we did not have the deal with iran. there are arguments to be made about it. part of the problem is the deal is you can have your cake and eat it, too. it says you do not have to completely abolish your nuclear weapons program. it is not speak to iran's other activities -- terrorism, human rights violations, oppressions of its own people, and it's concerning ballistic missile program. the message it sends to broke state is you can file in the terms of your international obligations under the treaty -- under a treaty and we will

the other question is this hurts us with north korea. walking away from the iran deal and how n can we trust the unitd states because they won't keep their word. this was a treaty we never would have been able to walk away. it would've been ratified by congress and had 50 votes in the senate and we would not be able to do what were doing. i say we those of us who are [inaudible] -- it helps is not great. he kept up his rocket attacks in his blissett missile launches in his nuclear program under the last year of the obama administration hoping to get in iran like deal with one heavily laden withth the senate and weak enforcement. he now knows he will not get that in one of the key things that have happened in the last 24 hours undermines that whole argument.cl secretary of state pompeo returned with three americans from north korea before sitting down with kim jung-un and his nuclear program and if you contrast that with secretary carrie and president obama saying that we cannot get jason out of prison because it was not part of a nuclear

with north korea. he wants to be able to make a deal. now, you've had some very hardline administrations, and you have president moon, and you've had others before president moon, who also had more or less this attitude. i think he's a very capable person. i think he's an extremely competent man. i think he's a very good person. and i think he wants to have what's good for the korean peninsula, not just north or south, for the entire korean peninsula. so i have tremendous confidence in president moon. and i think that his way, the way he is, really is helping us to potentially make a deal. whether the deal gets made or not, who knows. it's a deal. who knows. you never know about deals. if you go into deals that are 100% certain, it doesn't happen. if you go into deals that have no chance, and it happens, and sometimes happens easily. i've made a lot of deals. i know deals, i think, better than anybody knows deals. you never really know. and that's why i say to you. but i will tell you, this is a good m

now historic summit with north korea which was scheduled to take place in singapore next month could be gone u.s. leader has said that washington and pyongyang have been having positive talks and discussing the possibility the u. turn comes after the white house called off the meeting on thursday morning. we'll see what happens with. regard to that now they very much want to do it which i just want to see what. everybody plays you know that you know that better than anybody. well the world continues to come to terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just a day after he announced of the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off well now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again what appears to have been a statement made by north korea in which they said they were still open to meeting and sitting down with the united states at any time now seems particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous decision to cancel the summit was also based on a statement from north

let's start with the complications of north korea, china, the use the, iran all coming around one entity called zte. one of the largest phone makers in china. the reversal was stunning as the president talked about saving jobs in china. >> it was stunning. i think the criticism is a little premature. i believe what's happening here. the president has thrown this into the negotiations in what we consider is you be fair trade practices by china, and we know they have been stealing our intellectual property. the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the planet. tomorrow coming to the united states in d.c. will be the vice premiere of china to be principally involved with secretary mnuchin and others involved in negotiations they were degree last week in china and will be doing now in the united states. we should wait to get the final outcome of what's going to happen here. lou: i have been waiting for an outcome for some time with the election of donald trump. the what it is over. this is a deeply disturbing reversal and quick one. in the relationship between xi and the president, p

exercises with the us. 0ur north america editor jon sopel has more details. it is an annual event, and each year it upsets the north. a military training manoeuvre involving 100 warplanes from the us and south korea. and last night, pyongyang engaged in their own live—fire exercise, with a threat to shoot down next month's planned summit. but, if this was provocation, donald trump was doing his best not to react. his comments in the oval office were conspicuously muted. we haven't seen anything, we haven't heard anything, we will see what happens. though, in the hubbub, he was asked whether he was still insisting on north korea getting rid of its nuclear programme. yes, he says, but this is the thorniest issue. denuclearisation means one thing to the us, and something completely different to the north. the us national security adviser has said disarmament must be complete, verifiable and irreversible. he says it should be what colonel gaddafi did in libya. i think we're looking at the libyan model of 2003—200a. we're also looking at what north korea itsel

now north korea has canceled wednesday's high level talks with the south in response to seoul's joint military drills with the united states has more. this definitely comes as a blow considering the storage developments we've seen recently but in addition to canceling tomorrow's summit north korea is reported to have threatened to cancel its highly anticipated meeting with trump that's scheduled for june twelfth in singapore now this is all due to washington's military drills with soul which is always been a topic of discussion but it seems that the d.p. r. k. has finally decided to put its foot down. i. i. know the d.p. r. k. has made it clear that these joint drills there and it's security describing it as a rehearsal for invasion and many view these fears as legitimate given the history of countries that have willingly surrendered their w m d's but this was in fact one of the points agreed upon back in january when the north agreed to stop its nuclear tests in the south agreed to stop its drills with the u.s. and it was considered a confirmed once again when kim and moon met last m

in a way, china is north korea's nuclear umbrella. would they go to wore with us over north korea? probably not. north korea has had china's okay to pursue nuclear weapons for years. china could have stopped that. they did not. so when you read that china is dismayed about their nuclear weapons, no. the real nuclear power is china, and russian, by the way, that is buddies with north korea. there's bigger threats further out but much bigger. china i think uses north korea as a test case, that's how you can push the envelope. north korea has gone too far for many years to demonstrate to the world that if you play chicken with the united states, we will back down. that's the difficult game that president trump has to play. we can't let north korea keep nuclear weapons. i doubt he can solve this diplomatically. it may come to military action. >> neil: we'll see what happens. i hope not either. thank you. good read of things how they stand right now. you know what happens with the nfl talk on those that want to kneel to the national anthem. what if the players join arms or race a fist?

let's say we'll have conversations about whether china is helping us or not helping us with north korea. conversations that the president leads about whether russia is intervening in the midterm elections. what are we supposed to believe? here's my bottom line. it's a bottom line you would not have said two years ago, six years ago, ten years ago. when we go into these key questions, the president is not the arbiter of truth. that will be the members of his cabinet. that will be the congress. and that will be the media. in the past we've been able to look at the president and say what's happening around the world, you give us the truth and then you help us understand what to do in the future. i don't think we can trust the president to do that. >> so to phil's point, kevin, the president has a long history of spreading conspiracy theories and lies to great success. pretending at one point that he was his own pr person, right? remember that? saying president obama wasn't born here, that thousands celebrated 9/11 on rooftops. millions voted illegally. president obama wiretapped him. he ha
