Trump Says China's Diplomacy Has "No Impact On Little Rocket Man"

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that diplomatic efforts by China to rein in North Korea's weapons program had failed, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated that Beijing should do more to limit oil supplies to Pyongyang. Just one day after speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump said on Twitter, "The Chinese envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man." Separately on Thursday, Tillerson said at the State Department, "The Chinese are doing a lot. We do think they could do more with the oil. We’re really asking them to please restrain more of the oil, not cut it off completely."
