NBC’s Kristen Welker Presses Trump: Are You ‘Committing to Not Spying’ on North Korea?

‘Were those commented interpreted accurately?’

EXCERPT:

WELKER: "Mr. President, you seemed to suggest yesterday that you were essentially committing to not spying on North Korea. Is that what you meant, were those comments interpreted accurately — "

I’m in no rush. The sanctions are on. We got our hostages back. Our remains are coming back. You saw the beautiful ceremony in Hawaii with Mike Pence. We’re getting the remains back. There's been no nuclear testing whatsoever. They'd like to do something. I did get, you know, as I said yesterday, a very nice letter from Chairman Kim. And I think we’re doing very well.
