As President Donald Trump is accusing china of violating u. N. Sanctions against north korea by continuing to sell oil to pyongyang this is what he tweeted caught red handed very disappointed that china is allowing oil to go into north korea there will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen our White House Correspondent kimberly how has more from washington d. C. Chinas denying the accusations that the president made on twitter you have to sometimes decipher why and what has prompted donald trump to go to twitter and often this is when he feels that an issue isnt being covered adequately in his view in the media he will tweet knowing that then in turn we will take a look and see what hes talking about and this is a really good example of that if you go back to the u. S. Treasury website last month youll see that it first called attention to these satellite images that said that it had of chinese ships applying oil to north korean ships in the west see now apparently these satellite images put out by the u. S. Treasury department were taken october nineteenth but again it didnt get a whole lot of Media Attention even though the United States says that this is in violation of sanctions that were put in place specifically speaking to this by the u. N. Security council in september so perhaps its a little bit of frustration on that level and frustration too by the president that hes tweeting this given the fact that when he first came into office in january he immediately began to address the situation of north Koreas Nuclear program by investing heavily in the relationship with chinese president xi hosting the mara lago speaking enormously about the investment that was being made in the hope that china would use economic leverage to limit the north Korean Program but in recent weeks and months weve seen some frustration with that while the Treasury Department says there has been some success with china helping to isolate north korea from the Global Financial system again there is some frustration by the United States with examples like this of these satellite images so well china is denying these charges saying that there have been no u. N. Security Council Violations as far as its concerned the u. S. Sees it differently and now we see the frustration playing out on twitter by the President Donald Trump. Isaac stone fish is a senior fellow at the asia society in new york city he says its possible china is trying to help north korea. We dont know necessarily which side to believe whether china is actually in violation of u. N. Sanctions
