WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday (May 21) urged China to maintain tight control of its border with North Korea until he signs a denuclearisation deal with Kim Jong UN.
Trump is scheduled to hold a landmark summit with the North Korean leader Jun 12 in Singapore, but Pyongyang recently has threatened to pull out over US demands for “unilateral nuclear abandonment.”
“China must continue to be strong & tight on the Border of North Korea until a deal is made,” Trump tweeted, suggesting China may have eased up on enforcing economic sanctions against Pyongyang.
“The word is that recently the Border has become much more porous and more has been filtering in.”, he wrote, adding he wants North Korea to be ‘VERY successful,’ but only once a deal has been reached on denuclearization,” he said.
