Summit diplomacy seems to be heating up... as North Korea's former intel chief is in

New York City for talks with the U.S. Secretary of State.

The visit comes... as multiple meetings are taking place in different locations to set

the agenda for the summit and the regime's denuclearization.

Oh Jung-hee has our top story.

The right-hand men of Kim Jong-un and President Trump will be meeting soon in New York.

North Korea's Kim Yong-chol -- the regime's former spy chief and the current director

of its department for inter-Korean relations -- was spotted taking a flight bound for New

York on Tuesday afternoon in Beijing.

Trump confirmed on Twitter that Kim is coming.

And Washington's State Department says...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will head over to New York on Wednesday to meet him.

"The Secretary will be heading up to New York tomorrow and I believe returning sometime

on Thursday."

Kim and Pompeo's talking points have not been specified.

But it's widely believed that their meeting is for the final coordination of the agenda

for the Pyongyang-Washington summit -- how North Korea will denuclearize... and how the

U.S. will guarantee the Kim Jong-un regime's security.

This... as an extension of the North Korea-U.S. working-level talks that took place twice

this week at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom.

The delegations at Panmunjom -- led respectively by Washington's former negotiator on North

Korea, Sung Kim, and Pyongyang's Vice Foreign Minister, Choe Son-hui -- met on Sunday and

Wednesday.

"Well, this will be the Secretary's third meeting with Kim Yong-chol.

They've had, obviously, very deep conversations where they've talked about a lot of detail

about what the United States' expectations are."

"If Kim Yong-chol and Mike Pompeo settleD on a basic draft of their agreement and President

Trump accepts it, then that will lead to a confirmation that the summit will take place

for sure.

The fact that Kim Yong-chol is visiting the U.S. -- that in itself means that coordination

between the two is almost over,... with only a few factors left to be resolved."

Kim Yong-chol is the first high-level North Korean official to step foot on U.S. soil

in 18 years.

Attention is on whether he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump... and deliver

a letter from Kim Jong-un -- much like when Pompeo twice met with the North Korean leader

in Pyongyang.

Senior North Korean official arrives in U.S. for pre-summit talks with Pompeo - Duration: 2:40.

Our top story this monring...

Kim Yong-chol,... one of the most trusted members of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's

inner circle is now in New York City for talks with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Whether or not the summit goes ahead on June 12th in Singapore could well hinge on how

that meeting goes.

It's thought their talks will be used to see if they are on the same page so they can forge

a lasting agreement going forward.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

Hoping to salvage a highly-anticipated summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and

U.S. President Donald Trump,... Kim Yong-chol, a vice chairman of North Korea's

ruling Workers' Party's Central Committee arrived at JFK International Airport on Wednesday

local time,... becoming the highest-ranking North Korean official to visit the U.S. since

2000.

Kim,... a former military intelligence chief and one of the North Korean leader's most

trusted aides was escorted out of the airport by State Department officials,... as he prepared

for his meeting in New York City with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Kim and Pompeo's talking points have not been made public.

But it's widely believed their meeting is for the final coordination of the agenda for

the Pyongyang-Washington summit -- how North Korea will denuclearize... and how the U.S.

will guarantee the regime's security.

This... as an extension of the North Korea-U.S. working-level talks that took place twice

this week at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom.

The delegations at Panmunjom -- led respectively by Washington's former negotiator on North

Korea, Sung Kim, and Pyongyang's Vice Foreign Minister, Choe Son-hui -- met on Sunday and

Wednesday.

"Well, this will be the Secretary's third meeting with Kim Yong-chol.

They've had, obviously, very deep conversations where they've talked about a lot of detail

about what the United States' expectations are."

"If Kim Yong-chol and Mike Pompeo settled on a basic draft of their agreement and President

Trump accepts it, then that will lead to a confirmation that the summit will take place

for sure.

The fact that Kim Yong-chol is visiting the U.S. -- that in itself means that coordination

between the two is almost over,... with only a few factors left to be resolved."

There's also speculation Kim Yong-chol could visit Washington and meet with President Trump.

But Kim is under U.S. sanctions for his role in North Korea's nuclear program and other

illicit activities,... and may need further approval should he travel to the U.S. capital.

U.S. Pacific Command Changes Leadership - Duration: 2:30.

[James N.Mattis] Our 2018 national defense strategy is the first of its kind in a decade and it

acknowledges the Pacific challenges and signals

America's resolve and lasting commitment to the Indo-Pacific.

Americans vision is shared by most nations in the region.

For every state, sovereignty is respected no matter its size

and it's a region open to investment and free, fair, and reciprocal trade not bound by any

nation's predatory economics or threat of coercion.

[Adm. Harry Harris] This is hard work for sure but it's not aspiration; it's in our DNA.

This is what we live for. Our nation deserves

no less and our President and Secretary of Defense expect no less.

If called upon, I'm confident that Admiral Davison will lead Indo-PACOM to fight tonight to

defend America's interests and the vast Indo-Pacific.

[Adm. Phil Davidson] Admiral Harry Harris and miss Bruni Bradley, United States Navy, retired, departing.

For more than 70 years, the Indo-Pacific has been largely peaceful in most ways

this was made possible by two things:the commitment of free nations to the free

and open international order and it was underwritten by the combat

credibility within U.S.Pacific Command.

Land value of Korea's easternmost Dokdo Island estimated at US $5.5 mil. - Duration: 0:38.

To Koreans it's priceless and most certainly NOT for sale,... but officials have put a

monetary value on the country's easternmost Dokdo Island.

In its latest assessment,... the Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government has estimated Dokdo's

land value at five-point-five million U.S. dollars.

That's roughly nine percent higher than last year.

Since the local government began estimating Dokdo's land value in 2000,... it has risen

every year.

An official attributed the rise in value to the uptick in public interest in Dokdo as

well as the economic value of submarine resources surrounding the East Sea island.

North Korea's Kim Yong-chol, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hold working dinner in NYC PART2 - Duration: 2:22.

North Korean leader Kim Kong-un's most-trusted aide Kim Yong-chol has had his first meeting

with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in New York... sitting down for dinner together.

It's unclear how much of the summit agenda was addressed, but its thought to be an informal

meeting to continue building trust, before more serious negotations take place on Thursday,

local time.

Lee Ji-won reports.

In New York late Wednesday, local time, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that

he had a "good" working dinner with the vice chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers'

Party's Central Committee, Kim Yong-chol.

Pompeo said the menu included steak, corn and cheese,... and posted two pictures from

the dinner.

One showed the two shaking hands, and the other was of them at the table.

Seated there also was Andrew Kim, chief of the Korean Mission Center at the CIA, a project

Pompeo set up when he was the spy agency's chief.

They met at 7 o'clock that evening at the Manhattan residence of the deputy ambassador

to the UN... and spent 90 minutes together.

Afterwards, Kim headed straight back to the Hilton hotel at One UN Plaza where he will

be staying for two days.

U.S. State Department said Kim and Pompeo will have all of Thursday, local time, for

their official meeting, starting at 9 a.m., but the venue has not been disclosed.

After the meeting, the State Department says, Pompeo is scheduled to hold a press briefing

at 15 past 2 in the afternoon, local time, at the Palace Hotel.

Kim and Pompeo's talking points have not been made public.

But it's widely believed they are putting the final touches on the agenda for the Pyongyang-Washington

summit -- how North Korea will denuclearize... and how the U.S. will guarantee the regime's

security.

Kim Yong-chol, who arrived at JFK International Airport earlier on Wednesday, is the most

senior North Korean official to step foot on U.S. soil in nearly 20 years.

To make his trip happen, he was granted a "sanctions travel waiver," as he's under U.S.

sanctions for his role in North Korea's nuclear program and other illicit activities.

While Kim Yong-chol and Pompeo are meeting for the third time,... watchers are keen to

find out if Kim Jong-un's right-hand man will visit Washington and meet with President Trump.

U.S.-China trade war back on - Duration: 2:04.

The U.S. shift towards protectionism doesn't seem to be going away, with Washington looking

to place tariffs on imports from China and the EU.

Kim Hyesung reports.

Trade tensions are back on again.

"When it comes to international relations, each and every flip-flop will only lead to

further depletion and squandering of the country's credibility and reputation."

That's China's response to renewed threats from the U.S. on trade, with Beijing warning

that it is ready to fight back if Washington is looking for a trade war.

The tit-for-tat comes after the two sides had agreed less than two weeks ago to put

the tariffs on hold and... just days ahead of a planned visit by U.S. Commerce Secretary

Wilbur Ross for trade talks.

On Tuesday, the White House said it will press ahead with a 25 percent tariff on 50 billion

U.S. dollars of Chinese technology imports and will restrict Chinese investment in the

U.S. Washington added that it will announce the

final list of imports covered by the measures by June 15th, and that the tariffs will be

imposed shortly thereafter.

At the same time, trade tensions between the U.S. and the EU are also brewing.

According to the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, Washington could announce plans to impose

tariffs on steel and aluminium from the EU on Thursday.

In March, President Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10

percent tariff on aluminium, but granted temporary exemptions to several countries, including

the EU, whose exemption is set to expire this Friday.

"Europe is united and firm.

We have worked in an extremely intensive manner in recent weeks to avoid the increase in tariffs,

to allow for an evolution towards freer markets.

But we are also prepared to react."

Top European officials met with U.S. trade officials in Paris on Wednesday in a last-ditch

effort to avoid the tariffs.

But a solution appears far from reach, with both sides vowing not to back down in the

trade spat.

N. Korea, U.S. officials holding second round of working-level talks in Singapore - Duration: 1:45.

Officials from North Korea and the United States are not only meeting in New York City

and on the inter-Korean border to make sure this summit goes ahead.

They've also been huddling together behind closed doors in Singapore, where the historic

event would be held.

Oh Soo-young reports.

Top North Korean and U.S. officials appear to be working on the more technical aspects

of the historic summit slated for June 12th.

Kim Jong-un's de facto chief of staff Kim Chang-son was seen Wednesday leaving his hotel

in downtown Singapore at around 9:45 a.m.

A team of U.S. officials were also spotted leaving their hotel in the island of Sentosa

around the same time.

The two parties are believed to have met at Singapore's foreign ministry, with local officials

also in attendance.

The U.S. delegation is led by White House deputy chief of staff for operations, Joe

Hagin.

He reportedly met with Kim Chang-son the day before as well... for the first round of working-level

talks to iron out the practical details of the summit.

These include the specific venue and timetable, as well as the protocol and security measures.

Possible venues include the Shangri-La Hotel, and the resort island of Sentosa, but it's

seems unlikely to be at Singapore's presidential office.

Local media on Wednesday quoted Singaporean diplomat Ong Keng Yong who said the presidential

palace of Istana was not appropriate for the summit, suggesting that foreign officials

should not intrude in the working space of the country's leaders.

With less than two weeks to go until the envisioned meeting, experts say the summit will practically

be set in stone once practical arrangements are made,... and once the North and the U.S.

have agreed on the key topics of discussion -- primarily the terms of denuclearization.

Jud. Napolitano-"Secretary of State POMPEO expected NOKO meeting TRUMP" - Duration: 13:48.

we begin with a Fox News Alert we are awaiting the arrival of a top North

Korean official at New York's John F Kennedy Airport North Korea vice

chairman kim yeongcheol is then expected to meet with Secretary of State Mike

Pompeo the White House continues to lay the groundwork now to revive a potential

summit on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula we are watching all of

it as it makes news and it's live we'll bring it to you

this is outnumbered i'm harris faulkner here today Sandra Smith town hall editor

and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich host of kennedy on fox business kennedy

and in the center seat today Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew

Napolitano outnumbered and ready to go so some of my closest friends

yes well North Korea's vice chairman kim yeongcheol as I just mentioned is on his

way to New York City expected to arrive within a couple of hours this afternoon

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is also expected in New York after the secretary

meets with President Trump at the White House this afternoon the latest moves as

the Trump administration works to hold that summit in Singapore with North

Korean dictator Kim Jong hoon as of now the date still on the calendar June 12th

the president canceled that meeting last week after hostile rhetoric from the

north but has since reopened the door to having it a short time ago we heard from

former US ambassador to the UN Governor Bill Richardson who is one of few

Americans to have direct negotiations with the north here he is you have to

set an agenda for the meeting and we have to narrow the gap between what we

consider a denuclearization and what the North Koreans considered

denuclearization let's be completely prepared because the North Koreans I've

negotiated with them they're relentless they're very focused and we have to be

focused too chief White House correspondent John Roberts at the White

House now John Harris good afternoon to you no meetings

like this are never a sure thing right up until the moment that the

cheerleaders get into the same room together but the thinking around the

White House here today is that the June 12th date for this summit really looks

like it could be on track the press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders

yesterday aboard Air Force One on the president's weights Tennessee said quote

the president's letter specifically said that we were open to the meeting at the

time and again we expect it to take place but we'll see what happens we are

going to be prepared if it takes place June 12th will certainly be prepared if

it for some reason takes place at a later date we'll be prepared for that as

well a lot of people think June 12th could happen

some people think might need to be delayed by a couple of days maybe a week

a lot of whether or not this goes forward will depend on meetings that

Mike Pompeo the Secretary of State is having with the man that you see right

there kim yong-chul he's going to be meeting with him in New

York City likely later on today tomorrow morning as well

he is the highest-ranking North Korean official to come to the United States in

18 years and likely that a person of his rank wouldn't come all the way here

unless there was a good chance of putting something together listen to

what the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said yesterday this will

be the Secretary's third meeting with kim gyeong-cheol they've had obviously

very deep conversations where they've talked about a lot of detail about what

the United States expectations are I think it's important that we're going up

to New York I know the secretary looks forward to engaging engaging him in New

York pointed out as well that the rhetoric out of North Korea since the

president sent that letter last Thursday has been remarkably restrained and

Harris the one person that we have not heard from is the Deputy Foreign

Minister who really got things going when she said those intemperate things

about the vice president and then threatened a nuclear to nuclear

confrontation with the United States if these negotiations didn't bear fruit so

everyone playing nice at the moment and again

the the Secretary of State has met with kim yong-chul three times previously so

they know something of each other and we'll find out likely by this time

tomorrow whether they can get something done john roberts thank you very much so

john sets up the conversation for us Judge Andrew Napolitano with the facts

on the ground that things are moving well this general with whom secretary

Pompeo Pompeo is meeting is also the head of their intelligence services so

here's the equivalent of what Mike Pompeo was when he ran the CIA so when

having our it said this is the third time they're meeting this is the third

time they're meeting while Mike Pompeo is Secretary of State but it's not the

third time they've ever met because they met in the connection with their work as

being the head of intelligence agencies so they know each other here's the issue

what does Dee and John Robert spin this what does denuclearization mean there's

a an American expert this morning who said it will take 15 years for a total

denuclearization what will denuclearization whatever it

is satisfied Donald Trump that the American public can no longer be

threatened but give Kim some ability to say I can still defend ourselves well

what's interesting about that Katie is that it buys the time for North Korea to

figure out what that defense is going to look like that's not nuclear and you

know if this is the beginning of the conversation that's just it so maybe it

just buys time for both sides and that's why you've seen President Trump

repeatedly say don't worry Kim jong-un we will protect you you will be safe

because the North Korean regimes entire premise for having nuclear weapons is to

preserve the regime it's not to preserve the people of the country it's not to

protect the citizens is to protect the regime of Kim jong-un and his long

seated family in that position and so for a long time there's been this

enormous gap between what the United States wants which is complete

denuclearization what China wants we're just saying look you can push them to

get rid of nuclear weapons for bad purposes and threatening the rest of the

world but we don't actually think that you can ask them to completely

denuclearize and there are more of the same page with North Korea in that sense

where they're saying well we're willing to blow up a tunnel here a tunnel there

they've done in the past but when it comes to preserving the regime

it's gonna be a very tough sell to the North Koreans about how the United

States an adversary to them is going to protect them from getting slaughtered in

the streets like Gaddafi was yeah and a broader issue Kennedy for all this too

is we don't want them to be in a position to be able to sell those

weapons to others who would want them yeah like his friends in Iran they've

already been making transactions with Iran and with Pakistan unfortunately

that horse has already left the barn and they're really comfortable with the

international black-market when it comes to buying whatever it is they need

whether it's fissile material or you know other aides to emboldening their

nuclear program or you know oil and coal which they have gotten from China China

and some of their shrinking pool of allies but you know back to what Katie

was talking about this is a really specific dance because it's like when

someone is trapped in the wilderness for days and is starving but they can't eat

because they'll actually get very sick and could die and you know it's likely

that North Korea will want to gorge on you know the free market but the problem

is if that doesn't go as well as they want and if they want this deal set up

in stages and the beginning stages don't go to their liking and they're not

making as much money as they thought they could and they don't have as much

control over their society as they would like they are much more likely to back

out of future stages of the deal and you know that's one when people talk about

preparations they have to make sure there are stop gaps in place for the

United States so we don't get stuck in another phase or they'll produce civil

liberties yes they don't that's that's what unifies them the most precisely yes

some of the things we're watching for we know that there is that delegation from

the United States and the DMZ zone I mean they they they have put or DMZ I

should say put things in place now that are tangible for us to watch I think we

have to also take it to the right now because we've been talking so big

picture about this for so long and now we're coming down to minutes and hours

here we don't even know the exact timing of the meeting that's going to take

place behind between the North Korean dictator's right-hand man as he's known

as and and Mike Pompeo but when I was talking to Governor Richardson earlier

today who has a lot of background knowledge on dealing with North Koreans

he suggested it's time to let Mike Pompeo just take the lead here the

president and his team should just kind of sit back

well that's Mike Pompeo do his thing as you had just stated when we let off the

hour here this is he's done multiple meetings now listen he is a once spent

three days with him where we were doing seminars together he has a very very

savvy experienced guard speaking of Bill Richardson who I think gives in this

respect not democrat advice a Republican advice but good sound patriotic advice

the president the United States needs to know in advance what the agreements are

going to be and if they can't get agreements done by July 12th or June

12th there's no magic to that date and I agree with you that Mike Pompeo has to

have a long leash so to speak yeah you know the one thing I would wonder about

too you talk about that relationship based on three meetings but it's it's

more than what we know to have happened in recent years with with North Korean

leadership how important is it to have that relationship between our now

Secretary of State and the foreign official who's coming well remember that

foreign official could be changed like that

just that this this is a dictator who not only slaughtered the boy from the

University of Virginia I don't wanna get graphic he slaughtered his own uncle

missing as well correct but right now the leader that's in New York is a

four-star general is that I'm a two ranking person in all of North Korea

it's very important that Mike Pompeo has a great personality bonds with this I

would add to that that Mike Pompeo is experienced at the CIA is not just about

these three meetings he's had it's about the overall intelligence that he has

gathered as his position in the CIA which we saw when he met with kim

jeong-hoon before he was in confirmed as i kotnis have been here guys cuz i want

to set something up that's about to happen we've got the right subscribe

bill that's a controversial bill that lets terminally ill people be able to

have access and to utilize experimental drugs that are out there that perhaps

have not been looked at or approved by the FDA this is something that the White

House announced last Friday and it has been something that the president has

held as a priority and for the vice president as well

you know also what's interesting about this is that today as the president

we're anticipating to walk up in the in the White House and step up to that

lectern and and then to the table to the side they're in sinus bill today follows

that rally that the president just had in Nashville Tennessee where he talked

about taking a fresh look at health care issues so as that happens live we will

take you there let's come back though to the to the issue at hand and talk a

little bit more about what we think needs to be done before July 12th Katie

why the June 12 June 12 which is 13 days away it takes a day and a half to get

there so really we're looking at ten days that we have Matt between now and

then but it's important to go back to the beginning of this when the president

agreed to meet with kim jeong-hoon at the summit they actually said at the

beginning we are not putting any agreements on the table this is simply a

first step so there can be conditions that are put down on the table for

discussion but in terms of getting some kind of deal before that deadline I

think is ambitious and something in the White House hasn't actually talked about

whether they're gonna get there in ten days I don't know clearly people on the

date and said it's gonna either be June 12th or it could be delayed all right

some day I see no no downside to President Trump to delay this for two

weeks if Mike Pompeo in this North Korean general are sort of on a roll but

just need a little bit more well it's interesting because the president seems

to be married to dates and markers oh absolutely I think he's like that's also

because you've seen a Congress that when you wipe away a date they get nothing

done for of a wedding date and you know something that nigga now resonates in in

people's minds and it's very difficult to postpone a wedding you know when you

book the caterer and the band and you've already paid for the cake and there's

still some some love in the air even if one partner has pushed the other ends

around they're sold out surround they're out they're sold out I think this is it

just thinking that but we're gonna move on married to this date and it will

happen on June 12 or will not happen my president rusting slamming Democrats

over immigration ahead of the midterm elections is this

oh gee that could work for Republicans also the president is not backing down

on his attacks on the Russia investigation his latest accusations is

Rudy Giuliani his top attorney now sets a big condition for any sit down with

Robert Muller stay close

North Korea's Kim Yong-chol, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hold working dinner in NYC - Duration: 2:18.

We begin this afternoon with the latest on the rapid-fire diplomatic developments between

North Korea and the U.S. North Korean leader Kim Kong-un's most-trusted

aide Kim Yong-chol has been sitting down in New York City with U.S. Secretary of State

Mike Pompeo to thrash out the terms of a planned summit.

The White House says they'll meet again on Thursday, local time.

Lee Ji-won reports.

Kim Yong-chol, a vice chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party's Central Committee,

and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo began their meeting with a working dinner in New

York City at 7 p.m., Wednesday, local time.

Pompeo arrived at the Manhattan residence of the deputy representative of the U.S. to

the UN 15 minutes ahead of their scheduled meeting time, and Kim arrived on time, but

neither spoke to reporters as they entered the building.

The dinner lasted for 90 minutes,... and Kim headed straight back to the Hilton New York

One UN Plaza hotel where he will be staying for two days.

Kim Yong-chol, who arrived at JFK International Airport earlier in the day, is the most senior

North Korean official to step foot on U.S. soil in nearly 20 years.

To make his trip happen, he was granted a "sanctions travel waiver," as he's under U.S.

sanctions for his role in North Korea's nuclear program and other illicit activities.

Kim and Pompeo's talking points have not been made public.

But it's widely believed they are putting the final touches on the agenda for the Pyongyang-Washington

summit -- how North Korea will denuclearize... and how the U.S. will guarantee the regime's

security.

The White House says the two will hold their official high-level meeting throughout the

whole day on Thursday, local time.

Ahead of the dinner, Pompeo set out the U.S. position on his official Twitter page.

He said he was looking forward to discussing a potential summit with North Korean leader

Kim Jong-un,... and once again reiterated that the U.S. is committed to the complete,

verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

While Kim Yong-chol and Pompeo are meeting for the third time,... watchers are keen to

find out if Kim Jong-un's right-hand man will visit Washington and meet with President Trump.

U.S. to impose 25% tariff on US$50 bil. worth of Chinese goods - Duration: 1:49.

Just 10 days after Washington and Beijing agreed not to impose new duties on each other,....

the White House says it will press ahead with tariffs against Chinese technology goods.

Cha Sang-mi zooms in on how the Trump administration is trying to gain leverage in its talks with

Beijing.

The U.S.-China trade war appeared to have died down.

Until on Tuesday, when the White House announced that it is moving ahead with plans to impose

a hefty 25-percent tariff on 50-billion U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese goods containing

"industrially significant" technology.

The White House says the final list of imports covered by the measures will be announced

by June 15th,... and the tariffs will be imposed "shortly thereafter".

It added the products included on the list are related to the "Made in China 2025" program,...

a 2015 initiative promoting China's tech industries, including the information technology, robotics,

and bio-medical sectors.

A representative for China's Ministry of Commerce said Beijing was surprised by the White House

statement.

In a statement released by the commerce ministry, Beijing stressed its confidence and capability

to defend its own national interests, regardless of what measures the U.S. will take, and urged

Washington to act according to their joint statement.

This comes after a second round of talks in Washington earlier this month,... where the

two sides issued a joint statement vowing not to launch a trade war against each other,...

as Beijing agreed to "significantly increase" its purchases of American goods and services

to help the U.S. reduce its $375-billion-dollar trade deficit with China.

The trade tensions began earlier this year with President Trump imposing tariffs on steel

and aluminum imports into the U.S.,... with China striking back with additional tariffs

on 128 U.S. products.

N. Korea, U.S. still have wide gap in views on denuclearization of Peninsula: Unification Minister - Duration: 0:41.

North Korea and the U.S. still have a wide difference in views on the denuclearization

of the Korean Peninsula,... but it's possible to narrow that gap.

That's according to Seoul's unification minister who shared his views during a meeting with

EU ambassadors to the nation.

Cho Myoung-gyon believes... even after Pyongyang and Washington agreed to hold a summit,...

they weren't well aware of each other's stances, and therefore had some temporary ups-and-downs.

But he pointed out, both leaders taking part in the ongoing discussions with a top-down

approach,... raises the possibility of finding some middle ground.

The minister added... his government feel it's best to strike the deal at once... to

sort out the North Korea's denuclearization and America's guarantee of regime security.

N. Korea, U.S. likely to be holding secret meetings to arrange summit: Experts - Duration: 1:52.

Officials from Pyongyang and Washington are not only rushing to work out the details and

make sure the summit happen in New York and Korea.

Apparently, they've met behind closed doors in Singapore, where the historic event would

be held.

Oh Soo-young highlight the significance of this gathering.

Top North Korean and the U.S. envoys seem to be holding working-level talks behind closed

doors to prepare for the historic North Korea-U.S. summit slated for June 12th in Singapore.

Media reports earlier this week said Kim Jong-un's de facto chief of staff Kim Chang-son had

flown into the city state on Monday night.

His visit coincided with the arrival of a team of U.S. officials, including White House

deputy chief of staff for operations Joe Hagin.

Experts say their overlapping schedules are unlikely to be a coincidence.

"There's a high chance that a working-level meeting took place somewhere in Singapore.

Given the seniority of the two officials, their meeting could indicate the summit has

now been fixed."

There's speculation that Pyongyang and Washington are working to iron out the practical details

of the summit, beginning with the specific venue and timetable, as well as the protocol

and security measures.

Possible venues include the Singaporean presidential palace, the Shangri-La Hotel, and the resort

Island of Sentosa, according to observers.

Officials will also have to decide whether President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will

hold a joint media conference or take part in additional activities.

Other matters concerning logistics or transportation will have to be discussed with the Singaporean

authorities.

With less than two weeks to go until the envisioned meeting, experts say the summit would soon

be set in stone once practical arrangements are made,... and if the North and the U.S.

can agree on the key topics of discussion -- primarily the terms of denuclearization.

Devin Nunes Uttered The Nine Words That Ended Obama's Deep State - Duration: 11:46.

Devin Nunes Uttered The Nine Words That Ended Obama's Deep State

Devin Nunes has been locked in combat with Barack Obama's Deep State.

But that fight is heading toward the end game.

That's because Nunes appeared on Fox News and uttered the nine words that destroyed

Obama's Deep State.

Nunes was being interviewed on Fox and Friends about the latest developments in the Russia

investigation.

The House Intelligence Committee Chairman discussed the latest bombshell about the FBI

having planted a spy in the Trump campaign.

But that wasn't all.

Nunes unleashed a political earthquake when he tied it together with how the Russia investigation

began.

During the interview, Nunes stunned viewers when he discussed the intelligence he reviewed

and declared that "…because we have yet to see any credible evidence," it should

have caused the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation.

The Daily Caller reports:

"LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW DID THIS GET STARTED?

YOU HAD FUSION GPS THAT WAS HIRED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN TO DRAW UP

A DOSSIER ON THE PRESIDENT — OR AS THE PRESIDENT WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT," NUNES SAID TUESDAY

ON "FOX & FRIENDS."

"WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT IS THAT IN [GLEN SIMPSON'S] TESTIMONY HE MENTIONED THAT THERE

WAS A SOURCE WITHIN THE CAMPAIGN.

NUNES SAID GLENN SIMPSON, THE HEAD OF FUSION GPS, TOLD CONGRESS HE WAS BEING TRUTHFUL ABOUT

A MOLE WITHIN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND PREDICTED THE FALLOUT WOULD TARNISH THE FBI AND DOJ.

"GLENN SIMPSON SAID THAT IN WHAT WAS CLOSED TESTIMONY.

THEN IT BECAME PUBLIC.

NOW HE'S CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS TELLING CONGRESS THE TRUTH, WHICH IS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA,"

NUNES CONTINUED.

"WE BELIEVE HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.

AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS GET THE DOCUMENTS TO FIGURE OUT — DID THEY ACTUALLY HAVE,

WHAT METHODS WERE USED TO OPEN THIS COUNTER INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION?"

"I THINK WHAT IT REALLY MEANS, I THINK IT WILL LOOK BADLY ON THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

AND THE FBI ON HOW THEY CONDUCTED THIS INVESTIGATION," NUNES SAID.

HE ALSO SAID THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION INTO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LACKED CREDIBILITY

FROM THE START.

"I THINK IF THE CAMPAIGN WAS SOMEHOW SET UP, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM.

RIGHT?

IF THEY WERE SOMEHOW MEETINGS THAT OCCURRED AND ALL OF THIS WAS A SETUP," NUNES SAID.

"BECAUSE WE HAVE YET TO SEE ANY CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OR INTELLIGENCE THAT LED TO THE OPENING

OF THIS INVESTIGATION."

As this investigation drags on towards its conclusion, Americans are wondering why it's

not the FBI and Mueller under investigation.

This whole Russia probe was a pretense to frame Trump for collusion in order to destroy

him politically and legally.

We will keep you up to date on any new developments

in

this story.

Should national service be mandatory in the US? - Duration: 3:37.

Military conscription is mandatory

enlistment in the armed forces.

It's perhaps more popularly known as the draft.

A National service commitment isn't a unique idea.

Conscription dates back to antiquity and today

many European and Asian nations

currently employ such policies.

Israel and Switzerland are two of the most notable examples.

Even Denmark requires four months of service from adult men.

All three countries demanding by law that youth

of a certain age are required to register with the

military or with a civil service body

for a certain amount of time.

Many US veterans have gone on the record to discuss

the merits of a year of service.

But let's remember that the Pentagon recently

reported that only 29% of young people

are even eligible for the military.

In Switzerland, anyone unfit for service

whether physically or mentally is exempt.

But they much pay an additional income tax

until the age of 30 unless they're affected by a disability.

I don't think it'd go over well if the US told 71%

of it's 20 somethings they owed a hike in their taxes

unless they joined the military.

But conscription remains an idle debate

in the United States nonetheless.

Former Joint Special Operations Command Chief

Stanley McCrystal has stated that

all young Americans should serve for a year.

And there are many people who agree.

The retired General said on multiple occasions

the time is right for our country to institute

a mandatory year of paid National Service

for young Americans ages 18 to 28 years old.

He argued that a year long commitment would not only

instill the values of accountability, responsibility

towards citizenship but would also develop

character and leadership traits.

Now he's not saying that every American

needs to serve in the military per se.

He argued for an open choice between different service

organizations, allowing young Americans

to work within their communities.

He referenced the infrastructure of Americorp,

Youth Build and the Peace Corp to suggest that

our young country men and women help perform

a variety of tasks such as tutoring and mentoring students,

supporting the elderly, helping communities respond

to disasters and assisting veterans

reintegrate to civilian life.

By the way, McCrystal isn't alone

in mulling over this concept.

Vietnam war vet and music legend Kris Kristofferson once

suggested all politicians serve in the military for a year.

Make sure you check out our video of the time he stole

a helicopter and landed it on Johnny Cash's lawn.

Now countering that idea, Conor Friedersdorf

wrote an Op Ed for the Atlantic in 2013 where

he suggested that while citizens do have an obligation

to give back, a one size fits all program

could never be implemented justly.

Pro conscription support is controversial

because conscientious objectors might not want to serve

in the military or participate

in a particular conflict for ideological reasons.

The argument could also be made that it violates

the rights of the individual.

We're a nation based on the merits of freedom after all.

There's also a lingering fear of the draft.

The US military has been sustained by volunteers since

the post Vietnam era but conscription laws

do still exist in the event that we do not have

enough service members to meet the needs

of the Department of Defense.

Currently by law all male persons must register

with the selective service system

within 30 days of their 18th birthday.

This opens up a completely different argument

which is whether the draft should include women

especially after a 2016 vote in the Senate

approved a military policy bill that

would require women to register.

The bill was later restructured to remove this policy

but it became a heated topic for a while.

Currently the National year of service topic

has yet to be brought up by the White House or Congress

though it still remains a talking point for many.

Until then, leadership like McCrystal continues

to sponsor efforts to afford both military veterans

and civilian volunteers more opportunities

to voluntarily serve our country in various organizations.

So what do you guys think?

Should the year of service, military or otherwise

be required for Americans, leave a comment.

Let me know. (marching band music)
