US President Donald Trump has accused China of doing nothing on North Korea and said he was “very disappointed” with Beijing, a day after Pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile test.
Trump also said he will no longer allow North Korea to continue with its belligerent behaviour.
“I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk,” Trump said in two tweets on Saturday.
On Friday, North Korea fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile that experts say has the potential to reach the US mainland.
“We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!” said the US President, expressing his deep disappointment over Chinese inaction while North Korea continues with its ballistic missile tests and going ahead with its nuclear weapons programme.
Meanwhile, in response to North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear programmes, two US Air Force B-1B bombers under the command of US Pacific Air Forces, joined their counterparts from South Korea and Japanese air forces in a sequenced bilateral missions July 29.
