\n\"impeachCNN<\/b>\u00a0– US President Donald Trump has declared he would be willing to go it alone to restrain North Korea’s nuclear weapons program should China fail to change the situation, saying if Beijing won’t help solve it, then “we will” alone.
\n>”China will either decide to help us with North Korea or they won’t,” Trump said in an interview published Sunday in the Financial Times<\/a>. “If they do, that will be very good for China, and if they don’t, it won’t be good for anyone.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s administration has repeatedly emphasized its high concern over the North Korean nuclear threat. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visited China last month to press North Korea’s neighbor <\/a>for help in mitigating that threat, and Trump is scheduled to host Chinese President Xi Jinping this week<\/a> in the US, where he intends to bring the issue up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
China didn’t respond to Trump’s comments to the FT Monday, but issued a statement saying that Tillerson had phoned the country’s top diplomat, State Councilor Yang Jiechi, about Xi’s visit.<\/div>\n
According to the statement, Yang said the meeting was of “utmost importance in China-US relations” and was important for “promoting peace, stability and prosperity… for the whole world.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the campaign trail and since taking office, Trump has argued China is responsible for the continued nuclear proliferation in North Korea. He said in his Financial Times interview that he planned to talk with Xi about that situation and use trade as “the incentive” to talk China into fixing it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trump has repeatedly said he would take aggressive action against China to reduce the US trade deficit with the country. But if the talks with Xi don’t produce Trump’s desired result of getting Beijing to solve the North Korean nuclear problem, Trump said the US would take action.<\/div>\n
