Provocations. These pose a serious threat to regional and International Peace and stability. I shared with President Trump what singapore has done to pressure and isolate the dprk, going beyond u. N. Security council resolutions. But there is no quick and easy solution. Pressure is necessary, but so is dialogue. The u. S. Will need to work with others including china, south korea and japan and russia. , to resolve the issue. President trump will be visiting china a few weeks time as part of his first visit to asia. Singapore, like many other countries watched the relations with china very closely. There is most important bilateral relationship in the world. China is u. S. s Third Largest export market for goods and services. For agricultural exports is second largest. They buy soybeans, grains and cotton as well as farming machinery. Im quite sure as incomes go up, they will buy more and more american beef. I express my hope the u. S. Will maintain stable and constructive relationship
