SCIUTTO: Well, President Trump has promised for more than two years that the art of the deal, his relationship he's described as a love affair with Kim Jong-un would move North Korea away from its nuclear program. Well, today, North Korea says it will build a bigger force to counter what it calls a long-term military threat from the U.S. That announcement comes notably on the second anniversary of President Trump's Singapore summit with Kim Jong-un, one of three he held with the North Korean leader. CNN's Kylie Atwood joins me now. Kylie, as you know, intelligence agencies have warned throughout this that North Korea had no intention of giving up its nuclear program. Has the administration, has the State Department, Pompeo, the president acknowledged the failure of this diplomacy?</s>KYLIE ATWOOD, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: No, they haven't. So what we continually hear from the State Department, from the White House is that they are open to negotiations with North Korea. But the bottom line here is that those negotiations are no longer ongoing. And this is kind of case in point what we are hearing from the North Koreans today. Say -- they say that there is no factual improvement to the relationship to be made by continuing Kim Jong-un and President Trump's relationship. So they don't want to continue it. This comes, as you said, Jim, on the second anniversary of the first summit between the two leaders, that President Trump has repeatedly touted, he's repeatedly referenced that. And even after the two leaders met in Hanoi, in their second summit, which was actually, quite frankly, a failed summit because they accomplished little to nothing at the end of it, the U.S. has still maintained that they are open to this dialogue with North Korea. But we are now seeing North Korea come out even more provocatively, not only towards the U.S., but also towards other countries in recent days and weeks, threatening to cut off its relationship with South Korea and coming out with some aggressive language against China as well.</s>SCIUTTO: Kylie Atwood, thanks for staying on top of it. We'll continue to follow the story. And we'll be right back.
