| 0:00.0 | Good evening. We are around the world tonight. I'm in Washington, D.C., along with Jim |
| 0:09.2 | Shuto, in Anchorage, Alaska. No deal until there is a deal. That's the word from President |
| 0:16.6 | Trump after welcoming Vladimir Putin on American soil. It's his first visit here in a decade. |
