Trump, responding to a question about what his message is for North Korea, said, "North Korea is a problem. The problem will be taken care of." He said he believed Chinese President Xi Jinping would "work very hard" to help resolve the challenge. The president said he had spent a lot of time with Xi last week in Florida. "I have really gotten to like and respect President Xi. ... He's a very special man. I think he's going to try very hard." Last week, North Korea warned of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of American aggression. The North is technically at war with the United States and South Korea after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce and not a peace treaty. The North regularly threatens to destroy both countries.
