Trump Tweets That China ‘Won’t Help With North Korea’ Despite Taking Money From US

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter today to address recent reports that North Korea is working towards building ballistic missiles that can reach the United States.

First, the incoming POTUS noted that regardless of what North Korea has claimed about where they are in the development stage, “it won’t happen!”

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!

About 40 minutes later, he went on to send another tweet, this one taking aim at China for not doing enough to help with the threat.

China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!

In his address earlier this week, North Korea leader Kim Jong-un said that the country needed “to cope against the vicious threats for nuclear war by the Imperialists,” obviously referring to the United States.
