‘We Will Solve [North Korea] Without Them!’: Trump Warns China in New Tweets

Surprise! President Trump is making news on Twitter. On Tuesday, he doubled down on previous remarks about taking action against North Korea, with or without cooperation from China.

I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!

North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.

Trump hosted the Chinese president at Mar-a-Lago last week, where they discussed international economics and China’s relationship with the rogue nation. Previously, Trump gave an interview where threatened to take unilateral action against North Korea even if he couldn’t convince China to work with America.

In recent days, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson drew significant media intrigue when the aircraft carrier led a strike group towards the Korean Peninsula. This development came shortly after Trump ordered an airstrike into Syria as a punishment for Bashar al-Assad‘s use of chemical weapons.
