Donald Trump blames China for North Korea’s threat to cancel face-to-face meeting

Donald Trump has blamed China for Kim Jong-un’s apparent change of heart over their face-to-face meeting as he attempted to bring North Korea back to the table.
In his fullest response to Pyongyang’s threat to cancel, the US president undermined his own national security adviser by saying the “Libya model” was not being used.
Mr Trump also promised Kim “protections” if he agreed to meet in Singapore as originally planned – an olive branch to North Korean leader.
The comments were made in the White House on Thursday as Mr Trump was meeting Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato secretary general.
The US president was due to meet Kim in Singapore on June 12 to discuss denuclearisation but the North Koreans unexpectedly said this week they could pull out of the meeting.
US-South Korean military drills, comments made by John Bolton, Mr Trump’s national security adviser, and demands for the regime to “unilaterally” give up its nuclear programme were all cited as reasons.
But Mr Trump pointed the finger at another factor – Kim’s second meeting with with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, earlier this month.
Mr Trump said there was a “big difference” in North Korea’s position since the meeting and suggested that Mr Xi “could be influencing” Kim.

P!
Fake News. Where did Trump say, China is responsible? Chine has come out publically asking Kim to attend.
I hate the media.
You are right, of course.
But under obummer, even in an English paper, the headlines would have read (for any occasion) “Everything perfect, as usual, under the great obama”
As I predicted here.
I think it was stupidity on Bolton’s part to even mention Libya. Libya is history. The 2 whores, Obunga and Krinton betrayed and broke the Libya deal because they LOVE bloodshed* and lusted for regime change. Kim must be brought to understand that those whores are no longer in power. *Abortion!
Protection..
When “The Donald” becomes “The Don”...
Hahaha!!!!
I crack me up.
The Chi-Coms never wanted North Korea to be anything more than a sh@thole.
Don’t forget though...your fighting for you politicians sold the country out to the commies. Bump crop of traitors..when did they go to jail?
Fake News. Where did Trump say, China is responsible?
***********
Whether Trump said this or not, these negotiation need to be conducted in secret, where the media cannot mess them up to spite Trump.
From the linked article:
Mr Trump said there was a “big difference” in North Korea’s position since the meeting and suggested that Mr Xi “could be influencing” Kim.
North Korea should leave the Dark Side and come over to the Light Side ,it pays better ,LOL
China’s Xi just wants to be the “hero” in all this.
It is well know that Little Rocket Man is a defective puppet which means that sometimes, but not always, he does not jerk the way that the puppet master pulls his strings.
Yes, he’s in it to win the glory and that he and Kim save face.... must ‘look like’ all are winners.
