China slams Trump’s ‘irresponsible and absurd logic’ on N. Korea
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChina is deriding the “irresponsible and absurd logic” of the United States after President Donald Trump accuses Beijing of making Washington’s relationship with North Korea more difficult.
Trump doubled down on his suggestion that China is not helping to rein in its Cold War-era ally — a charge he first leveled when he cancelled a trip to North Korea by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that was due to take place this week.
“A lot of people, like me, feel that the US is first in the world when it comes to twisting the truth, and irresponsible and absurd logic,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying tells a regular press briefing. “This logic is not easily understood by all.”
