The U.S. pushed China Wednesday to rein in companies that deal with North Korea after President Donald Trump tweeted ahead of the high-level talks that Beijing's efforts to sway its wayward ally weren't working. North Korea hasn't conducted a nuclear test explosion as feared earlier this year but has kept up its rapid pace of missile launches. "While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. Susan Thornton, the senior U.S. diplomat for East Asia, said North Korea would get "top billing." But she said the U.S. wants more action against blacklisted North Korean companies doing business through China.
