WASHINGTON: US President Donald
Trump says China is glad he's seeking a diplomatic solution to the North Korean crisis rather than "going with the ominous alternative."
Trump spoke with Chinese President
Xi Jinping on Friday after announcing he was willing to meet with
North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
Trump tweeted that he and
Xi spoke about that agreed-to meeting and that Xi "appreciates that the US is working to solve the problem diplomatically rather than going with the ominous alternative."
Trump in the past has threatened North Korea with "fire and fury like the world has never seen."
Trump also says China "continues to be helpful!" He's repeatedly urged China to do more to pressure North Korea into abandoning its nuclear program.
Trump misspelled Xi's first name as "Xinping."
