BEIJING: The North Korean nuclear issue needs a peaceful resolution, Chinese President Xi Jinping told US President Donald Trump in a telephone call today, and called on the “relevant side” to exercise restraint, state television said.
Trump issued a new threat to North Korea yesterday, saying the US military was “locked and loaded”, as Pyongyang accused him of driving the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war and world powers expressed alarm.
Xi told Trump that it was in the joint interests of both China and the United States to achieve the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula and protect peace and stability there, state television said in a brief report. (Agencies)
