but Carl you have to hold that thought because here is Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo as you know in addition to my meeting with vice chairman kim
yeongcheol we have teams in Singapore and at the
DMZ working with their North Korean counterparts to prepare for president
Trump and chairman Kim's expected summit in Singapore
through these series of meetings I'm confident we're moving in the right
direction today vice chairman Kim and I discussed our countries could come
together and take advantage of the unique opportunity that our two leaders
have created through their visions of the future that they have so clearly
articulated vice chairman kim yeongcheol is now planning to travel to washington
to deliver a personal letter from chairman kim jeong-hoon the proposed
summit offers a historic opening for president Trump and Chairman Kim to
boldly lead the United States and the DPRK into a new era of peace prosperity
and security our two countries face a pivotal moment in our relationship in
which it could be nothing short of tragic to let this opportunity go to
waste in conversations with Chairman Kim jong-un and Pyongyang and today with
vice chairman kim yeongcheol had been very clear the president Trump in the
United States objective is very consistent and well known the complete
verifiable and irreversible denuclearization in salon
president Trump has also made it clear that if Kim jong-un denuclearize as
there is a brighter path for North Korea who envision is strong connected and
secure prosperous North Korea that maintains its cultural heritage but it's
integrated into the community of nations we think that working together the
people the United States and North Korea can create a future defined by
friendship and collaboration not by mistrust and fear and threats we
sincerely hope that Chairman Kim jong-un shares this positive vision for the
future which both both leaders to enter the summit in Singapore but proceeds
with their eyes wide open and with a clear understanding of the possibilities
for the future if these talks are successful it will
truly be historic it will take bold leadership from Chairman Kim jong-un if
we are able to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change
the course for the world president Trump and I believe chairman Kim is the kind
of leader who can make those kinds of decisions and then the coming weeks and
months we will have the opportunity to test whether or not this is the case
happy to take a couple questions our first question and one question each
please goes to Nick Wadhams from Bloomberg Nick go ahead
thanks mr. secretary last night the State Department told us that the US
would be looking for a historic commitment from North Korea before the
summit would go ahead today you ended talks with kim youngchul early can you
talk about why you did that did you get the commitment you sought and did the US
and North Korea now agree on what denuclearization would mean so let's
attack on that we didn't end the talks early we had a set series of items that
we wanted to make sure we covered topics which would make sure we were clear on
in terms of what our expectations were and their expectations in return of us
we achieve that this is a difficult difficult challenge make no mistake
about it there remains a great deal of work to do and we made progress here as
well as at the same time made progress than the other venues the conversations
were taking place we had all the time we needed today to make the progress that
was achievable during our time here in New York City our next question goes to
from The Wall Street Journal sir following up on that the senior State
Department official the same person who spoke to us last night also indicated
that the United States hopes to persuade North Korea that its security doesn't
depend on on nuclear weapons you've now had three meetings with them spent some
hours with them do you feel that you've been successful yet in doing that or is
the difficult and settling is this issue the reason why president Truong
is now talking about the possibility of having two or three summits and not just
trying to break the back of these issues in a single meeting yeah make no mistake
about it a president from this administration completely understands
how hard this problem is there's a long history where North Korea has viewed its
nuclear program is providing the security that it needed for the regime
the effort now is to come to a set of understandings which convince the North
Koreans of what President Trump has said if we're able to achieve it if North
Koreans are prepared in fact to denuclearize this includes all elements
of their nuclear program if we convinced convinced them of that that in fact
their security is greater that in fact the real threat to their security is
that continued holding on to of that nuclear weight nuclear weapons program
and not the converse we've had lots of conversations around that the true test
of course comes when we actually achieve this but many conversations have been
had about how we might proceed what the path might be forward so that we can
achieve both the denuclearization that the world demands of North Korea and the
security assurances that would be required for them to allow us to achieve
that next one in Martha Raddatz from ABC News Secretary Pompeo you call it a
proposed summit will we find out whether it's a go tomorrow and and also you
looked the vice-chairman in the eyes you have been with him in the room what
accounted for the progress this has been such a rollercoaster ride the summit was
off we've gone from fire and fury to this so talk about what accounted for
the change and do you worry that you could still change back
Marthe I I have had the chance to meet chairman kim jeong-hoon
twice and now control three times have spent a great deal time with each of
them I believe they are contemplating a path for where they can make a strategic
shift one that their country has not been prepared to make before this will
obviously be their decision they'll have to make that they'll have to choose as I
just spoke about they'll have to choose a path that is fundamentally different
than the one that their country has proceeded on for decades it should not
be to anyone surprise that there will be moments along the way that this won't be
straightforward that there'll be things that look hard and times it appears
there's a roadblock and sometimes perhaps even perceived as insurmountable
our mission is incredibly clear it is to continue to push for the president as
directed me to push forward to test the proposition that we can achieve that
outcome so I know everyone's following this minute by minute and hour by hour
this is going to be a process that will take days and weeks to work our way
through there will be tough moments there will be difficult times I've had
some difficult conversations with them as well they've given it right back to
me too there is a there were decades in to this challenge and so one one not
ought to be either surprised or frightened or deterred by moments where
it looks like there are challenges and difficulties things that can't be
bridged our mission is to bridge them so that we can achieve this historic
outcome and on the proposed summit will we know tomorrow whether they will
actually be a summit don't know you don't know the answer to that and our
final question goes to Adam Shapiro with Fox News let me just say well we
wouldn't at midnight know tomorrow I will tell you we've made real progress
in the last 72 hours towards setting the conditions right so your question really
goes to what what are the conditions the conditions are putting President Trump
and Chairman Kim Jon you in a place where we think there could be real
progress made by the two of them meeting it does no good if we're in a place
where we don't think there's real opportunity to place them together we've
made real progress towards that in the last 72 hours
and Adam from Fox what concerns of the United States have about exposing South
Korea and our Asian allies Japan to greater perhaps Chinese influence if
there is a part of the deal in future drawdown of US military presence in
South Korea I'm not gonna talk about today ignored anytime during the
negotiations about the elements of what the the shape of the agreement looks
like that's those are those are things that ought to be held so that the
leaders have all the freedom they need to make the right decision so with
respect to the trotter and it's obviously a DoD issue I'm not gonna I'm
not going to speak to that today what I can say is this in the Secretary of
State now for thirty odd days I think there is no daylight between the South
Koreans the Japanese in the United States with respect to our approach to
how we resolve this issue with respect to North Korea I've spoken to my
counterparts there I've spoken to a Zanna moon there we
understand their concerns we understand the risks that can be posed to them and
an agreement that we reach will provide out an outcome that each of those
countries can sign on to as well the Chinese are moving all around the world
today let's be clear the risk of that is real everywhere not just in this
particular space we're keenly aware of it and I'm I am confident that the
things we're talking about with respect to North Korea will not enhance the risk
of that to any significant degree we wouldn't do that to the South Koreans or
the Japanese two of our most important allies in the region thank you
