U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday urged China on Monday to maintain a secure border with North Korea, pressing Beijing ahead of his anticipated meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month aimed at denuclearization.

“China must continue to be strong & tight on the Border of North Korea until a deal is made. The word is that recently the Border has become much more porous and more has been filtering in. I want this to happen, and North Korea to be VERY successful, but only after signing!” Trump tweeted.

He did not elaborate on the significance of the North Korea-China border issue in any deal that might be reached on denuclearization. Trump has said his meeting with Kim will take place on June 12 in Singapore.

Pyongyang last week threatened to scrap any meeting if Washington continued to press for unilateral denuclearization....

What he is really talking about is the crap load of Chinese troops “camped” near the border. He probably wants the Chinese to add even more troops. Those there were the prep team. (Threat of ground invasion)

This is the right approach. No point in arguing with a junkyard dog. Talk to its master.

I was wondering how long it will be for the N.Koreans to start drifting over the borders....to be first out of dodge.

Dandong has become a boom town (real estate etc) and there is all kind of crap going on up there. Japanese news sources, hidden camera and otherwise, recently attested to this. I’m sure Trump’s intel people, the KMC and what not, are briefing him, and he is getting mightily pissed in the process due to dishonest Emperors Xi’s two faced treachery which has made the president look overly optimistic and naive going into this classic sham. He has every right to be angry these days, but truly, hadn’t anyone seen this coming who was really paying attention?

Welcome to Asia, Mr President, and the great screwing. I’m glad he is getting back on track!
