world history in the making as we get closer to the historic one-on-one
meeting with President Trump and kim jungeun just a few hours president Trump
will land in Singapore I feel that Kim Jungman
wants to do something great for his people he won't have that opportunity
again so one-time shot and the left finally
admit that the anti Trump hysteria has gone too far North Korea on the other
hand understands that you want to manipulate Donald Trump you give Donald
Trump something for his ego from says its attitude not so much preparation
that matters Canadians did not take it like that the United States has moved
forward with significant tariffs polite were reasonable but we also will not be
pushed to them tariffs are going to come way down because we people cannot
continue to do that we're like the piggy bank that everybody's robbing and that
ends
it's June 10th and we begin with a Fox News Alert all eyes are on Singapore as
we get closer to the highly anticipated meeting between President Trump and Kim
Jong hoon the North Korean leader arriving overnight in meeting with
Singaporean leaders Kim jong-un has reportedly only left his country three
times since taking power in 2011 in less than two hours president Trump will land
as well in Singapore no sitting president has ever met or spoken on the
phone with a North Korean leader that just gives you a sense of how historic
this all is no matter what happens in the summit where we are at this point we
have come such a long way we have in the pictures we've seen already this morning
and we will continue to bring you get a cup of coffee in stick tune because
you're seeing history unfold in a very unlikely but important place Singapore
all morning we've got live we'll bring live footage to you as soon as we have
it right now we're looking at moments ago Kim Jong un meeting with the prime
minister of Singapore it looks like introducing part of his traveling
element to the prime minister of Singapore all these meeting president
Trump will also be meeting with the Prime Minister before he meets with Kim
Jong un events unfolding in real time as we heard from ed Henry we don't know
exactly what the itinerary will be that's being helped you help very
closely as soon as we know it you're gonna know it so let's go live to John
Roberts who is in Singapore ahead of the president's arrival John this is all
happening we just showed live footage there Kim jong-un on the ground and just
a matter of hours president Trump will also be there
yeah good morning to you Abby Pete and Griff as you as you know well Abby from
spending a lot of time when you were a child here in Singapore this is a big
big deal kim jeong-hoon touching down a few hours ago meeting with the
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien moon he arrived aboard an Air China
flight which is interesting because we have heard that North Korea doesn't have
aircraft that could carry him this far and while air China is the flag carrier
of China he was flying aboard an american-made 747 so an interesting
combination of nationalities there this is going to be the very first time as
you mentioned that an American president has met with a leader of North Korea
North Korea wasn't created until after the Korean War the closest that an
American president ever came to meet him with the North Korean president was
President Clinton back in 2000 but at the last minute he pulled back he sent
Madeleine Albright the Secretary of State instead so when the two leaders
sit down Tuesday morning line o'clock Singapore time it truly will be a
historic moment President Trump has said that he likely will get a chance to suss
out Kim jong-un in the first minute of their meeting he says you know how it
takes five seconds before you know whether you're going to like a person or
not president thinks you'll be able to get an early read on him and the
president is really pushing this idea that this is a one-time shot this is an
opportunity for Kim jong-un that will never come around again here's
the president from yesterday he can take that nation with those great people and
truly make it great so it's a one time it's a one time shot and I think it's
going to work out very well that's why I feel positive because it makes so much
sense
President Trump really believes that Kim jong-un wants to do the right thing some
US diplomats who have negotiated with North Korea in the past believed that
Kim jong-un was actually even as he was building up his nuclear arsenal looking
for an off-ramp looking for a way into the global community you can see
pictures here of the st. Regis Hotel where Kim jong-un is staying very very
heavy security there President Trump will be staying at another hotel the two
of them are going to be meeting at the capela resort which is on an island just
off the shores of downtown Singapore it's connected by a causeway there's one
way in one way out so it's the perfect place to hold a summit the president
believing that he could make progress here in the next 48 hours but at the
same time saying you know things may not work out coming into this with a very
realistic attitude listen here we're going in with a very positive attitude
and I think we're going to come out fine but I've said it many times who knows
who knows may not may not work out it's a good chance it won't work out it's
probably an even better chance that it will take a period of time it'll be a
process
the president thinking that this will be the first of a few meetings between the
two leaders of course it would be the first of many meetings between US and
North Korean officials the president telling me in answer to a question I
posed to him at a press conference on Thursday in the Rose Garden that he
would like to see the normalization of relations between the United States and
North Korea which of course would mean putting a US Embassy right in the heart
of Pyongyang a b8 press John great reporting there on the ground in
Singapore thank you John thanks John stuff yeah and it almost seems like
endless possibilities not endless but you could you could start with a that is
the Prime Minister's palace there in Singapore walked by that so many times
growing up as a young girl so that I imagine it's Kim jong-un in his
entourage leaving the palace we don't as we've mentioned earlier don't have the
exact itinerary for this trip or for Kim Jong Un's whereabouts but we will keep a
close eye on that and bring you any footage as we get it also mentioned
Singapore is perfectly 12 hours ahead of the United States so when it's 7 o'clock
oh 6 here in the morning it's 706 p.m. there so their evening wrapping up as as
president Trump's about to arrive there in Singapore all right let's now bring
in Cory Lewandowski former Trump campaign manager and of course co-anchor
of let Trump be Trump and the perfect person to get a perspective this morning
a good morning Cory good to have you on good morning happy Sunday happy Sunday
so this is all happening you are watching it unfold live here give us a
sense you know the president better than than all of us here what is going
through his mind is he is walking into this meeting on Tuesday he says
ultimately it all comes down to attitude I will know within the minute of what
his intentions are well you know I've seen the president so many times in
meetings whether it is with elected officials in the US he's met for the
first time with business leaders that he's trying to do a deal with he
understands a person's energy he understands what it's like and that
first interaction with the person if it's someone he's going to be able to
work with if it's someone that he's going to be able to negotiate with and
the art of the negotiation that this president has perfected is making sure
that both sides walk away feeling that they get a good deal but don't forget
the United States holds all the chips right now the maximum pressure campaign
that we have put on Korea has what it has forced kim
jeong-hoon to come to the table to dock to talk about denuclearization which
would do the world a very good thing so the president has all the cards in his
hands right now but he will know within the first two or three minutes of this
meeting if Kim jong-un is serious about really
denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and what does that mean he's got some
advisors with as well obviously we know Mike Pompeo will be there john bolton
will be there the the his press secretary will be there a chief of staff
kelly will be there as well will is is this you do you think there'll be a
private moment before the cameras see it I mean as a negotiator as he tries to
set the stage how does he set the stage most
advantageous to him well I think he'll what we've seen already is that
secretary Pompeo has been over there he's had talks Noelene with kim
jeong-hoon but also with the number two he understands what kim jeong-hoon wants
to accomplish here i'm sure he and ambassador bolton have briefed the
president on numerous occasions of what to expect and understand that we have a
history between these two countries of them not being truthful with us them
taking our money and not denuclearizing so I think what you're gonna find is I
think the president's going to want to have a private interaction with Kim
jong-un before all the cameras and then you'll see a mad rush of cameras very
similar to what we saw the first time president Trump sat down with Vladimir
Putin back about a year ago when they were overseas they had a private meeting
the cameras came in they shook hands and then they had that long detailed
discussion between having a better relationship between Russia and the
United States Cory let me ask you in your words what does success at this
summit look like well it's very clear success is the denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula it is the stopping of North Korea promulgating their nuclear
weapons technology it is making sure that they are not launching any more
test missiles that is what success looks like
not just for North Korea and South Korea and Guam and all the area over the but
for the world community at large but it will not be done at the cost of the
United States and what I mean by that is this is not a president who's going to
make the same mistakes as previous administrations giving countries
billions of dollars to Dinu clear eyes and then they don't do it so
we have a maximum pressure campaign on North Korea right now those sanctions
are hurting that country dramatically they need to come to the table if they
want to sustain it Cory you just came from the the president flying from the
g7 to go to Singapore at the g7 he at a press conference very prominently said
hey we don't want to be the world's piggy bank anymore pushing back against
countries he feels like we have untried unfair trade deals with what do you make
of the back and forth he's had with not just China and adversaries but also with
with Canada with the EU they they don't want to take it a lying down but he's
not backing down either well you know it's amazing because the world leaders
clearly did not listen to the campaign that Donald Trump ran in 2016 that said
he was going to put America first and now he is putting in place those
promises that he made and when you look at Canada it's a two hundred and seventy
percent tariff on our dairy products going into that country that is not free
trade that is an advantage that Canada has if they want to allow our products
into their country then we will be reciprocal and look it's a global
economy and we understand that but for 30 years the United States has been
taken advantage of and that's why multilateral deals have not worked on
behalf of the US and this president wants to negotiate bilateral deals so we
can have a better deal for the United States and our manufacturers not workers
here and that's what America first is all about yeah and he's taken that
America first message all the way over to Singapore landing there in just a
matter of a couple hours here Cory you think about what he is wanting out of
this kim jonghwan because it is a negotiation as you know obviously the
president is said he'll walk away from the table if he doesn't get what he
wants and what is best for America but in return what are we gonna get from Kim
jong-un what are they going to ask for you think well I think what Kim jong-un
and his people need is for the United States to potentially relieve some of
the maximum pressure campaign that we have had on that country for a long time
the economic sanctions that we have had you know they need to have a strong
relationship with other trading partners and because of this president and the
pressure that he's been able to put on through other countries on North Korea
they are really feeling that economic harm so what I
think Kim jong-eun is going to need to ask this president for if some relief
for a period of time so he can have some economic stability back in his country
and the only way that that can happen is the promise to denuclearize and not just
the promise but the actual action of doing that yeah it's got to happen up
front - thanks Cory thank you very much just a very what one quick last one and
that is do you believe that the president will leave with some at least
initial agreement for a framework towards that path of denuclearization
you know I really hope so but look if it's a bad deal for the United States I
know this president is a great deal maker he's gonna walk away so it's up to
him and he'll be able to figure that out as soon as he gets in that room with Kim
jong-il all right thanks Cory with your tenure you get
live video there from the streets of Singapore presumably could be Kim
jong-un riding in that up-armored it looks like BMW or Mercedes well that's
right kim jungeun now on the ground in Singapore and president Trump expected
to arrive soon we'll take a look back at what led to this high-stakes summit next
president Trump also making waves at home by commuting Alice Marie Johnson's
life sentence she joins us live with a message to the president and the country
just ahead I want to thank President Donald John strong
