The White House on Friday tended to point the finger at China for the sudden change in attitude of the North Koreans for the proposed June 12 summit in Singapore. Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that North Korea changed its approach towards the summit after Kim Jong-un had his second meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in China. "The President made some public comments about his sense that after the second meeting between the Chinese and North Korean leaders, there was a shift in attitude," the official said. He, however, exuded confidence that China would play a constructive role in implementation of the international sanctions vis-a-vis North Korea. So Trump is willing to pursue diplomacy as far as it can possibly be pursued," the White House official said.
