Trump calls for tires to break North Korea

US President Donald Trump will ask China to break the financial ties with North Korea and adhere to UN sanctions at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, said a senior official of the White House on Wednesday.

Trump arrived on Wednesday afternoon (local time) in Beijing from South Korea for a two-day stop as part of his trip through Asia. Trump believes that any conversations with the North should include a reduction of the threat, ending provocations and no deal possible without denuclearization, the officer told reporters aboard Trumps airplane Air Force One.

The first day of Wednesday's visit will include an informal meeting with state and party leader Xi Jinping and a tourist program.
