President Donald Trump said Thursday that Chinese President Xi Jinping “could be influencing” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after his regime abruptly shifted to a sharp, negative tone this week about the prospects of a planned summit with the U.S. in June.
“If you remember two weeks ago, all of a sudden out of nowhere Kim Jong Un went to China to say hello again -- second time -- to President Xi,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, referring to a May 8 meeting between the leaders.
