Trump Says the U.S. is “Doing Well” with North Korea – and Blames China
On a recent White House gathering, President Donald Trump fired back at critics, claiming that the United States was on the right track in its diplomatic game with Pyongyang. He casually dropped a “we’ll have to see” as he kept pointing fingers at China for complicating the U.S. push toward North Korea’s denuclearization.
What Trump Said
- “I think we’re doing well with North Korea.” He told reporters with a wink.
- “We’ll have to see,” he added, noting uncertainty but sounding optimistic.
- He blamed China for making it harder for the U.S. to get North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenal.
Why China is the “Villain” in His Narrative
Trump stuck to his familiar narrative: China’s influence is a major roadblock. He implied that by meddling in regional politics, China is basically the obstacle preventing diplomatic progress. “If China were cleaner, we might solve this faster,” the president mused, but kept short on world peace and longer on keeping a hard time with the Chinese.
Putting It All Together
With a casual, “whatever the next week brings,” tone, Trump’s office projected confidence: the U.S. is moving forward, despite a hefty enemy—China. Whether this persists or backfires remains to be seen. The partnership remains a rollercoaster, and Trump is putting the spotlight on China as the slick trickster in the diplomatic kitchen. Good luck, folks, and keep your eyes on the trip cancellation headlines!”
