‘We will solve the problem’: Trump’s big threat to North Korea

In a pair of tweets aimed at goading China into taking action against the dictatorship, Mr Trump said “North Korea is looking for trouble” and vowed to “solve the problem” with or without Chinese help.

He also said that China could expect a better trade deal with the US if they worked to neutralise the nuclear threat that North Korea posed.

North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.
