Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., derided President Donald Trump’s latest meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying he treated it like “talking to your dictator next door and bringing them a hot dish over the fence.”
In an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” the Democratic presidential candidate said “he keeps having these summits and meetings that really don't produce anything.”
“You just can't look at this as going over and talking to your dictator next door and bringing them a hot dish over the fence,” she said.
“What this is about is making sure that there are measurable results, that we have a plan when we go in there and we just haven't seen that,” she added.
Klobuchar also said she differed from progressive Democrats about healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants, saying only “immediate” healthcare needs should be guaranteed.
“As far as other benefits I think that has got to be a part of the discussion of comprehensive immigration reform,” she said.
She also took a moderate approach to Democrats’ Medicare for all plans, saying, “I just got a different way to get there.”
“I don't think that we should take away people's right to their private insurance and kick half of America off of their private insurance,” she said. “I think there is a better way to do this and that's strengthening Obamacare, taking on the pharmaceuticals.”
She also said she opposed free college tuition, saying “I want to expand Pell grants, make it easier for kids to go to college, but I don't think… we should be using taxpayer money to finance rich kids to go to college.”
