Meanwhile, the U.S. Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, is in the

North Korean capital for working-level talks with his North Korean counterpart.

It's expected the two sides will discuss some steps Pyeongyang should take to denuclearize...

and what Washington is willing to offer in return.

Oh Jung-hee reports.

The U.S. Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, arrived in North Korea

on Wednesday... to iron out the details ahead of the upcoming second summit between Kim

Jong-un and President Trump.

According to the U.S. State Department, Biegun will be meeting with his new North Korean

counterpart, Kim Hyok-chol, the North's former ambassador to Spain.

And a South Korean official says there's a high chance that Biegun will spend the night

in North Korea.

These working-level talks are to prepare for the second Kim-Trump summit.

The two sides will be discussing what North Korea should do next and what the U.S. can

give in return.

Last week, speaking at Stanford University, Biegun said... when Secretary Pompeo visited

Pyeongyang in October last year, Kim Jong-un promised to dismantle his regime's plutonium

and uranium enrichment facilities "beyond" those in Yongbyon.

Also, Kim agreed to invite American experts to verify the destruction of the Punggye-ri

nuclear test site.

Biegun also stressed that the U.S. needs to have a full understanding of the North's nuclear

program and ultimately ensure that the relevant materials and weapons are moved out of the

country.

So those are expected to be the U.S. demands to the North.

And in return, it's likely that Washington will offer economic benefits including sanctions

relief.

The Washington Post has previously reported that the U.S. is quietly preparing a special

"economic package" to draw Pyeongyang into denuclearization.

Trump also recently stressed that Kim Jong-un has an opportunity to make North Korea a "tremendous

economic behemoth" if he denuclearizes.

Also on the list could be establishing a joint liaison office, declaring an end to the Korean

War and providing humanitarian aid.

Trump says 2nd N. Korea-U.S. summit to be held Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam - Duration: 2:45.

U.S. President Donald Trump gave his highly anticipated State of the Union speech Tuesday

night to a joint session of Congress.

In it, he announced the date and country where he'll next be meeting North Korean leader

Kim Jong-un... just three weeks from now.

South Korea has welcomed the setting of a date, as our Yoon Jung-min reports.

In his State of Union address Tuesday night, local time, President Trump said the second

North Korea-U.S. summit will be held, as widely expected, in Vietnam at the end of this month.

"Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong-un is a good one.

Chairman Kim and I will meet again on February 27th and 28th in Vietnam."

Trump will be meeting Chairman Kim for the second time.

Their first summit was last June in Singapore, but for several months now, progress on denuclearization

seems to have stalled.

In his speech, Trump said he would continue working for peace on the Korean Peninsula,...

and touted his accomplishments in America's relationship with the North.

"As part of a bold diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean

Peninsula.

Our hostages have come home.

Nuclear testing has stopped.

And there has not been a missile launch in more than last 15 months.

If I had not been elected president of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion,

be in a major war with North Korea."

Though he didn't name a specific city or venue for the next summit, many observers think

it'll be either Hanoi or Danang.

The announcement came as talks were underway in Pyeongyang on Wednesday, Korea time, between

high-level officials from the U.S. and North Korea to fine-tune the summit agenda.

After Trump's speech, South Korea's Presidential Office of Cheong Wa Dae welcomed the announcement

of the dates, and said it hopes an improving U.S. relationship with Vietnam will help create

a new path for the U.S. and North Korea as well.

Trump said he will also meet Chinese president Xi Jinping around the end of February to discuss

broader issues including denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula and U.S.-China

trade.

As for America domestically, in his speech, Trump praised his administration's stewardship

of the economy.

He called for stronger border security, including a wall, to stop drugs and illegal immigration,

and he appealed for unity in a divided Congress.

U.S Customs and Border Protection Provides Support for Super Bowl LIII - Duration: 3:26.

>> So here at Super Bowl LIII, CBP

is really bringing to bear the unique capabilities

that we have with respect to our resourcing and our mission set.

So from enforcing the temporary flight restrictions

and providing air support for the entirety of the state

and local law enforcement here and the NFL during the event,

to also screening all the trucks and deliveries and merchandise

that's coming into the venues,

as well as manning the operation command centers,

working alongside our HSI partners to enforce the trade laws

and the intellectual property right enforcement work

that we're doing with them.

It is a wide variety of the diverse and unique mission

set that we have that we're bringing to bear here at Super Bowl LIII.

>> We're here in Atlanta, Georgia, to support Super Bowl LIII.

Our primary objective is to serve as the quick-reaction force

at some of the events throughout the city.

Tonight, the concert that we're working at,

it's headlining the Foo Fighters.

Ourselves, along with Fulton County SWAT

and FBI PMOs, are going to be serving as the quick-reaction force.

This venue holds around 8,000 people, and there's roughly 3,000 VIPs

that are going to be at the event today.

>> Hi, I'm Joe Cardona,

long snapper for the New England Patriots.

I just want to give a shout out to the men and women

of the, of Customs and Border Protection.

All you guys do to help keep our country safe,

can't appreciate it enough and make these,

make this opportunity for us to play

in the Super Bowl really happen and really special.

>> Air and Marine partners every year with DOD

to enforce the no-fly zone. The no-fly zone is officially known

as the temporary flight-restricted zone.

It's a 30-mile ring around the center of the stadium in two increments,

a 10-mile inner ring and a 30-mile outer ring.

So our mission is the "low and slow" mission,

where we try to deter people from flying in the 30-mile ring

and definitely keep them out of the 10-mile ring.

The 10-mile ring is absolutely a no-fly zone.

>> So the main challenge has been manpower.

We're manning command centers all over Atlanta.

We're working with other parts of CBP, notably Air and Marine,

as well as the FBI,

the Atlanta police department, ICE, Secret Service,

and we're having to get our manpower out

while still maintaining the regular security

and processing that we do here at the airport every day.

And we're doing that frankly by just working long and hard hours

and getting dedication from the troops

and to make the job happen and get it done.

How Trump's remarks on Iran strain U.S.'s welcome in Iraq - Duration: 5:18.

JUDY WOODRUFF: As we reported, the top U.S. military commander for the Middle East was

on Capitol Hill today.

In addition to the fight against ISIS, he was asked about recent comments by President

Trump suggesting American troops in Iraq could shift their mission.

And, as Nick Schifrin reports, those comments about U.S. troops watching Iran have sparked

deep concern in Iraq.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Near the Iraqi-Syrian border, an Iraqi soldier and his American adviser

line up artillery to strike ISIS.

Outside Baghdad, U.S. special operations forces train Iraq's elite counterterrorism service.

And Iraqi soldiers learn to fire American rifles from anti-ISIS coalition troops.

These scenes of partnership, filmed by the U.S. military over the past year, show what

Iraq has invited the U.S. to do; 5,200 U.S. troops train Iraqi security forces, and target

ISIS fighters who lost territory, but resumed insurgent tactics.

But, this weekend, President Trump told CBS' Margaret Brennan the mission should expand.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: And one of the reasons I want to keep it is

because I want to be looking a little bit at Iran, because Iran is a real problem.

MARGARET BRENNAN, Host, "Face the Nation": whoa.

That's news.

You're keeping troops in Iraq because you want to be able to strike in Iran?

DONALD TRUMP: No, because I want to be able to watch Iran.

All I want to do is be able to watch.

NICK SCHIFRIN: But even watching Iran exceeds the tasks Iraq has approved.

Today, Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, who has been working with the United States,

criticized President Trump.

ADIL ABDUL-MAHDI, Iraqi Prime Minister (through translator): I don't think that such statements

are useful.

In fact, they won't help much.

And I hope that he would back down from them.

NICK SCHIFRIN: In a statement, First Deputy Speaker Hassan al-Kaabi repeated a vow that

Parliament would pass a law terminating the security agreement with America, in addition

to ending the presence of American military trainers and advisers and foreigners on Iraqi

soil.

And on a Lebanon-based TV network on Sunday, Iranian-backed militia spokesman Jaafar Al-Husseini

hinted militias had the capacity to evict the U.S.

JAAFAR AL-HUSSEINI, Hezbollah Brigades (through translator): All of our options are open in

front of us.

We have the ability and resources to execute them.

FEISAL ISTRABADI, Former Deputy Iraqi Ambassador to United Nations: What the president's remarks

have done is make it more difficult for even America's closest allies in the Iraqi political

class to continue to advocate for the American presence in Iraq.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Feisal Istrabadi is a former Iraqi diplomat and directs Indiana University's

Center for the Study of the Middle East.

The Iraqi Parliament was already debating a bill that would evict the U.S.

That momentum will increase and put pressure on Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, who leads

a government considered technically capable, but has no natural constituency.

FEISAL ISTRABADI: He was turned to by the political parties in Parliament and asked

to form a government.

He is in that sense a relatively weak prime minister.

And you don't want the prime minister in a political battle with Parliament, because,

in the Iraqi system, the prime minister will always lose.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Today, the top commander in the Middle East, General Joseph Votel, tried

to reassure that the U.S. respected Iraqi wishes.

GEN.

JOSEPH VOTEL, Commander, U.S. Central Command: Our military mission on the ground remains

very focused on the reason that the government of Iraq asked us to come there.

NICK SCHIFRIN: And he suggested the president's comments had not become a military order.

Virginia Democrat Senator Tim Kaine:

SEN.

TIM KAINE (D), Virginia: And ,as far as you know, there's not a change in the definition

of the mission, at least as far as the Pentagon is concerned?

GEN.

JOSEPH VOTEL: I have no additional tasks that have been given to me with regard to that.

SEN.

TIM KAINE: If the U.S. were to change its definition of the mission in Iraq to be a

mission about watching Iran, wouldn't it be pretty important to have Iraq agree that that

would be the focus of the mission, if we were to be having troops in their country to carry

out such a mission?

GEN.

JOSEPH VOTEL: Senator, we are in Iraq at the invitation of the government, so, yes, I agree.

ABBAS KADHIM, Atlantic Council: I think that this statement is not enough.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Abbas Kadhim leads the Atlantic Council's Iraq Initiative and recently met

with President Salih.

Kadhim says, thanks to President Trump's statement, Iran's powerful allies can now use the Iraqi

constitution to argue against a U.S. presence, because it requires Iraq to adhere to the

principle of noninterference in the internal affairs of other states.

ABBAS KADHIM: Iran has more friends inside Iraqi Parliament and also inside the government

and inside even the public.

And these friends are willing to indulge Iran.

Before Sunday, they didn't have the votes.

Now I am told by some Parliament members that they have the votes at least to have it pass

through the first reading.

That is a major shift.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Iraqi leaders admit they knew all along U.S. troops in Iraq were likely

conducting extra missions, even watching Iran.

But until Sunday, that was never made public.

FEISAL ISTRABADI: That veil of plausible deniability, or willful ignorance, whatever you want to

call it, that's been lifted.

The president of the United States has blatantly announced what his agenda actually is.

NICK SCHIFRIN: And that means, for the U.S. and Iraqi officials whose agenda is to improve

Iraq, their mission became much harder.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Nick Schifrin.

U.S. must put 'maximum pressure' on N. Korea until CVID: Senator - Duration: 0:50.

U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, chairman of the foreign relations subcommittee on East Asia

and the Pacific, says the goal of talks with North Korea needs to be the complete, verifiable

and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula -- the policy known as CVID.

That was in an opinion piece by Gardner, a Republican from Colorado, published just hours

ago by Fox News.

Gardner notes that the Trump administration's 2019 Missile Defense Review says North Korea

continues to pose an "extraordinary threat."

He says that there has been no concrete action towards CVID, and without such action, Kim

Jong-un will pursue a strategy of delay and non-compliance.

Gardner goes on to advocate "maximum pressure" on North Korea... and not letting up until

its weapons programs are completely gone.
