Donald Trump, China News: Is The US Prepared For North Korea?
US President Donald Trump vows to face the nuclear threat from North Korea even without any help from China. This was announced in a recent interview, which further reveals the president's belief that the US will completely succeed on the said issue.
Trump Recognizes China's Influence Over North Korea
Pres. Trump was speaking before the scheduled visit by the Chinese President, recognizing China's influence over North Korea. According to the president, China is expected to decide whether to help the US with North Korea. However, China's refusal to help may not bring any good to anyone, according to the Mr. Trump, who refused to give a further comment regarding a possible unilateral action, BBC reported.
Trump Makes Everyone Worry
US Pres. Trump may have the economic and military power of the country to back him up, but as he receives Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, some Americans could not help but worry if he has done his homework. It is worth noting that the courts had turned down his refugee and immigration crackdown since he assumed office in January. In fact, even the Congress has turned down his "repeal and replace" of the Obamacare.
Meantime, Trump moves up his foreign policy this week following the deadly gas attack in Syria, not to mention a new North Korean missile test. These seem to serve as a lesson on the inability of rhetoric amid the seemingly difficult global crises.
Trump, meantime, could surprise his critics, although questions are also expected to arise as the meeting between the two leaders are viewed by some as a sports encounter. The focus seems directed to Trump's ability to make a "win-win" for himself and the other leader, or if China's Xi will get the better of him instead, SMH reported.
