Thank You mr. president Chancellor Merkel asked a couple
questions of the president first I want to ask you to step over it's crowded in
here I want to ask you about a couple comments that you made in the Oval
Office earlier in which you said about North Korea that they've played the u.s.
in the past like a fiddle but that's not going to happen to us do you as it
relates to hopefully getting peace on the Korean Peninsula denuclearization of
the Korean Peninsula do you feel as if you need to be the closer in that deal
do you want to be the closer and that deal or do you think that's something
that is shared by all of the major stakeholders all of the the world
leaders within that region and secondly indulge us if you might you said that
the relationship with North Korea has been strong or one of the words you use
have you spoken with Kim jong-un himself or do you plan on speaking with that I
want to comment on that do you plan on think we have a very good
working relationship we're setting up a meeting
things have changed very radically from a few months ago
you know the name-calling and a lot of other things we we get a kick every once
in a while out of the fact that I'll be watching people that fail so badly over
the last 25 years explaining to me how to make a deal with North Korea I get a
big big kick out of that but we are doing very well I think that
something very dramatic could happen they're treating us with great respect
and you know what's going on with South Korea and I think president moon of
South Korea was very generous and saying that we helped make the Olympics a great
success because of the fact that as you know there was a tremendous animosity
there was a tremendous problem going on and all of a sudden people started
buying tickets because a whole different feeling when North said we'd love to go
to the Olympics so a lot of good things are happening with respect to North
Korea President Obama told me when I had the one meeting with him he said that's
your biggest problem that's going to be the most difficult thing you have and
honestly I wish it was handled I wish it were handled by another
administration years ago I'm not just talking about President Obama I'd go
back to any administration you want but over the last 25 years this should have
been handled a long time ago not now this should not have been left for me to
handle but we will handle it we're handling it well and hopefully there'll
be peace for North Korea South Korea Germany I mean everything is included
Japan the chancel has been very helpful in the maximum pressure campaign as I
said really very helpful so have many other nations President Xi of China has
been really good at the border everyone's surprised at how tight he
clamped down everyone said that he'd just talked about it he wouldn't do it
what he did it and he did it out of a relationship that we have and also out
of the fact that we're negotiating trade deals and I think that's also very
important to him hopefully we'll come up with something that's good for both
countries so I think some very good things can happen with respect to North
Korea we're setting up meetings now we're down to two countries as to a site
and we'll let you know what that site is do you have a question for the
Chancellor just just to follow up or quickly do you do you feel like it's
your responsibility for this to eventually get settled between North and
South Korea I think I have a responsibility I think other presidents
should have done it I think the responsibility has fallen on the
shoulders of the president of the United States and I think we have I think I
have a responsibility to see if I can do it and if I can't do it it'll be a very
tough time for a lot of countries and a lot of people it's certainly something
that I hope I can do for the world this is beyond the United States this is
a world problem and it's something that I hope I'm able to do for the world
