Turning to the United States, where President Donald Trump has hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, at his Mar-a-Lago resort in the state of Florida. The two leaders discussed issues like the DPRK and trade during their meeting. CGTN's Roee Ruttenberg has the details from West Palm Beach, Florida.

ROEE RUTTENBERG WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA "The goal of the meeting Tuesday in part was to show that the Japanese leader and his American counterpart are unified in their message on the DPRK. That's exactly what we've heard as the two leaders went into the two days worth of discussions."

DONALD TRUMP US PRESIDENT "We have had direct talks at very high levels, extremely high levels -- with North Korea. And I really believe that there is a lot of good will, a lot of good things are happening. We will see what happens, as I always say, we will see what happens. Because ultimately it is the end result that counts -- not the fact that we are thinking about having a meeting -- or having a meeting." "But I can say this, they do respect us, we are respectful of them and we are going to see what happens."

SHINZO ABE JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER "For the DPRK issue, I would like to underscore the importance of achieving the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization as well as the abandonment of missile programs of the DPRK. And on the specific point I would like to share understanding and recommendation with Donald."

ROEE RUTTENBERG WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA "The Washington Post and the New York Times were reporting on Tuesday evening that earlier this month Mike Pompeo, the CIA director, traveled secretly to the DPRK for talks with Kim Jong Un, the DPRK leader. Many in Japan worry that the US will focus those talks with Kim Jong Un on intercontinental ballistic missiles that threaten the US and overlook the short-range and the medium-range arsenal that's pointed directly at Japan.

The other big issue here is trade, where there's some distance between the two leaders. Shinzo Abe is selling himself as a close friend of Donald Trump. He's invested a lot into their relationship and he'll try to show that investment will pay off, that he's able to pull Trump towards him on the issue of trade.
