BLITZER: North Korea's state-run newspaper is now accusing the United States of plotting to, quote, unleash a war while negotiating with, quote, a smile on its face. The newspaper in Pyongyang alleges that U.S.-based forces in Japan are conducting secret drills involving what it calls man-killing special units with the intention of invading North Korea. U.S. forces in Japan say it's not aware of any such drills. All this comes just days after President Trump cancelled Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's planned visit to Pyongyang this week. To discuss this and more, I'm joined by former U.S. Ambassador to China, Max Baucus. He's also a former Democratic senator from Montana. Senator, thanks so much for joining us. So what do you think -- why do you think that there has been this fiery rhetoric now coming from Pyongyang?</s>MAX BAUCUS, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO CHINA: I think it's an internal consumption. I think President Kim -- every once in a while he does this, stirs up the people in his country as some outrageous charge against the United States. I think that's basically it.
