There is no link between North Korea's nuclear program and China-U.S. trade, a senior Chinese official said on Monday, after U.S. President Donald Trump said China had done nothing for the United States on North Korea.
Trump, in tweets on Saturday, said America's "foolish past leaders" had allowed China to make billions of dollars a year in trade and that he was disappointed in Beijing for not solving the problem.
Trump made the comments after North Korea said it had conducted another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that proved its ability to strike America's mainland.
Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Qian Keming, asked about Trump's tweets at a news conference in Beijing, said there was no link between North Korea and China-U.S. trade.
