Trump ready to 'solve' North Korea problem without China
Quote:
US President Donald Trump has said the United States will "solve" the nuclear threat from North Korea, with or without China's help.
"If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you," he said in an interview with UK newspaper the Financial Times.
Pressed on whether he thought he could succeed alone, he replied: "Totally."
Mr Trump was speaking ahead of a scheduled visit from Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.

So far under all the preceding Presidents, North Korea has grown as a military threat and the Presidents did nothing to stop it. Now North Korea is on the verge of developing missiles that can hit Japan and eventually the US. It has been on the front foot militarily even to the extent of sinking Sout h Korean vessels. So before the Liberals start condemning Trump, he's doing something others ignored and even promoted.
The US's biggest weapon over China is trade. Do to China what we do to other countries like Iraq, Iran, Russia and China has to back down. They can't afford trade embargoes or any slowing down of sales to the West. There's no need for warships, just tell China not to fall out with it's biggest customer.
