Transcript for Trump raises doubts North Korea summit will happen in June

John it is adopting certain where things stand with with a seven. President whose national security advisor in the waiters seem to think that things are on track that this will it be that. Well we're moving along and we'll see what happens there are certain conditions that we want and I think we'll get those conditions and if we don't we don't have the meeting and frankly it has a chance to be a great great meeting for North Korea. And a great meeting for the world. If it doesn't happen maybe it'll happen later they do happen at a different time. But we will see. But we are. Talking. The meeting scheduled as you know on June 12 in Singapore. And whether or not it happens you'll be knowing pretty soon but we're talking right now. Which is what I do I have a very strong idea how it takes place and it must take place that's what we're talking about it must take place so but I have a very strong. Idea and I have very strong opinions on the subject I also have very strong opinions that. North Korea has a chance to be a great country. And it can't be a great country under these circumstances. That they're living right now but North Korea has a chance really. To be a great country and I think they should. Seize the opportunity and we'll soon find out whether or not they want to do that. I have great confidence. In your president. I think that he's brought a different perspective to. The talks with North Korea he wants to be able to make it the in the you've had some very hard line administration's. And you have president moan and you've had others before president Malone who also had more or less this attitude. I think he's a very capable person I think he's an extremely competent man I think he's a very good person and I think he wants to. Have what's good for the Korean Peninsula not just north or south for the entire Korean Peninsula so. I have tremendous confidence in president moan and I think that. His way the way he is. It really is helping us to potentially make it via weathered the deal gets made or not who knows it's a deal. Or not you never know about deals. You going to deals are a 100% certain it doesn't happen you going to deals that have no chance and it happens and sometimes. Happens easily. And now out of deals no deals I think better than anybody knows deals you never really know and that's wise idea but I will tell you there's a good man. And he is a very capable man and I think South Korea is very lucky to have him. It I cannot say but we are working on something and you know there's a chance that it worked at this chances are very substantial. Chance and while working at I don't wanna waste a lot of time and I'm sure he has a wanna waste a lot of so there's a very substantial chance it won't work out and that's okay that doesn't mean it won't work out. Over a period of time. But it may not work after June 12 but there's a good chance that will have the meeting.
