WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that China has aided efforts with North Korea, hours after Trump announced that Pyongyang had released three detained Americans.
Trump, who is expected to meet with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un in late May or early June, has leaned on Beijing amid tensions between Pyongyang and Washington.
