North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed ways to increase their "strategic and tactical" cooperation during Kim's third visit to China, which concluded Wednesday, North Korean state media reported Thursday. Kim also briefed the Chinese president on his summit with President Trump in Singapore last week. Some analysts said the warmth displayed by Kim and Xi amounted to a warning from Beijing that Trump will have to back off on his threat to hit China with more tariffs if he wants help pressuring North Korea to denuclearize. "China is sending a message to Trump ... You can't have both," former energy secretary and repeat U.S. envoy to Pyongyang Bill Richardson told CNN.
