President Donald Trump revealed on Saturday that he spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Premier Shinzo Abe about the upcoming summit between Trump and North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un.
‘President XI told me he appreciates that the U.S. is working to solve the problem diplomatically rather than going with the ominous alternative,’ Trump tweeted on Saturday.
‘China continues to be helpful!’
Trump also tweeted on Saturday that he spoke to Abe about the upcoming summit.
‘Spoke to Prime Minister Abe of Japan, who is very enthusiastic about talks with North Korea,’ the president tweeted.
‘Also discussing opening up Japan to much better trade with the U.S. Currently have a massive $100 Billion Trade Deficit.
‘Not fair or sustainable. It will all work out!’
Abe was reportedly upset over Trump’s decision on Thursday to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminium.
The stunning news late Thursday that Trump had agreed to meet Kim sometime before May has led to speculation about where the much anticipated summit will be held.
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev chose Reykjavik, Iceland. Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin huddled at Yalta.
