Trump contends that recent developments in denuclearization negotiations with North Korea are like moves in his "beautiful game".

"It's a very, very beautiful game, or a poker game. I can't say it's a game of checkers, because it's bigger than any game I've ever seen, but it's a very beautiful mosaic picture. "US President Donald Trump announced yesterday, referring to the process of negotiating denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Trump's remarks were made during the signing of the first-phase trade agreement with China at the White House on January 15. He seems to imply that North Korea and China are the two players in the "game" the US is playing to eliminate Pyongyang's nuclear program.

As North Korea's largest ally and trade partner, China is said to have a significant influence over Pyongyang's decisions. During the ceremony yesterday, Trump also praised China's role in negotiating with North Korea.

"China is helping us a lot in its power, something not visible in the agreement," Trump said, stressing that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "respected Chinese President Xi Jinping. Jar".

The US-North Korea working-level negotiations have remained deadlocked since the second summit in February 2019 in Hanoi. Kim Jong-un announced that North Korea would not continue to ban nuclear and missile testing, raising concerns about continued tensions on the peninsula.

Trump last week sent a birthday wish to the North Korean leader. However, senior North Korean officials have stated that the good relations between the two leaders - North Korea is just personal and Pyongyang will only return to the negotiating table if Washington meets their requests.
