トランプ・ツイート斜め読み - 今週に米朝首脳会談
今週ハノイで二度目の米朝首脳会談が行われます！President Xi of China has been very helpful in his support of my meeting with Kim Jong Un. The last thing China wants are large scale nuclear weapons right next door. Sanctions placed on the border by China and Russia have been very helpful. Great relationship with Chairman Kim!
