Envoy Warns China Risks US Trade Over North Korea ‘Dealings’ | Accuses China of ‘encouraging trade with North Korea’
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley threatened to see all US trade with China severed over the nation’s “continued business dealings ” with North Korea, presenting such trade as a violation of UN sanctions, and accusing China of “encouraging trade” with Pyongyang.
This follows a consistent trend in the Trump Administration of demanding that China “solve” North Korea for them, praising Chinese cooperation, then quickly blaming China the moment the US policy doesn’ t go according to plan.
Haley presented North Korea’s ICBM test as a “military escalation, ” and reiterated that the US is prepared to respond militarily, but would prefer to use its massive power as a trading partner to do so.
