In an early morning tweet, Trump claimed that “the Chinese Envoy ... seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man,” his nickname for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The Chinese Envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man. Hard to believe his people, and the military, put up with living in such horrible conditions. Russia and China condemned the launch.
While offering no details on his own plan for North Korea, Trump has repeatedly resorted to insults and bombastic rhetoric toward the regime, such as promising to unleash “fire and fury.”
In a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday, Trump “emphasized the need for China to use all available levers to convince North Korea to end its provocations and return to the path of denuclearization,” according to a statement from the White House.
“Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!” Trump tweeted in October.
