When U. S. President Donald Trump returned from his 12-day tour to Asia he made much of his newfound friendship with China’s President Xi Jinping. Trump took to his favorite communications medium, Twitter, to claim that the mainstream media “hated the fact” that he has developed a “great relationship with world leaders like Xi Jinping.” President Trump was also celebrating the fact that he had apparently persuaded President Xi to send a diplomatic envoy to North Korea. Trump has frequently cited China as the key to solving the conflict between the U. S. and North Korea.
China is North Korea’s major trading partner and only real ally, so Trump was hoping that China could persuade Kim Jong-un to abandon its nuclear weapons program. Trump has made it clear that he will accept nothing less than the “total denuclearization” of North Korea. As reported by the Inquisitr last week, President Trump had been in Washington for less than 24 hours before China contradicted him on the supposedly joint solution to the North Korean issue.
In essence, Trump wants North Korea to stop its nuclear program, and there is no room for negotiation.
