Fearing that #China has poisoned #NorthKorea's leader #KimJongun against him, #Trump attempted to extend an olive branch to President #XiJinping by offering to ease sanctions on Chinese telecoms company #ZTE. The moves come with just over 3 weeks to go before Trump is to meet Kim in Singapore on June 12 in a summit that Pyongyang has threatened to pull out of.

Late on Saturday (May 19), Trump called #SouthKorea's President #MoonJaein to ask why Pyongyang had shifted to a harder-line position, cancelling a meeting with South Korean officials and threatening to pull out of the June 12 talks. That came in sharp contrast to the more positive and constructive tone it held after Moon met Kim last month.
