President Donald Trump said Friday he has developed an "outstanding" relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping after meeting with the leader of a nation Trump has criticized as a menace to the United States. Those strikes added weight to Trump's threat last week to act unilaterally against North Korea's weapons program. Taking action against North Korea has been a sticking point in U.S. talks with the Chinese. Chinese state media reported late Thursday that Trump has accepted Xi's invitation to visit China this year. While Trump would not say what he wants China to do specifically, he said he thinks China will "want to be stepping up" on the North Korea issue.
