Nikki Haley: China’s Been a ‘Really Great Friend’ to Us on North Korea

Haley: China’s Been a ‘Really Great Friend’ to the U.S. Regarding North Korea (The Washington Free Beacon)

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley called China a "great friend" on Monday regarding its efforts to assist the U.S. with pressuring North Korea over its nuclear program.

Haley appeared on "CBS This Morning," in addition to the other two network morning shows, to discuss rising tensions with North Korea over its nuclear and missile tests, as well as other foreign policy issues facing the Trump administration.

President Trump spoke on the phone Sunday night with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and CBS host Norah O'Donnell asked Haley what more China needs to do to deter the North Koreans from taking more provocative actions. China is North Korea's most important ally and main trading partner, giving Beijing strong influence over the rogue state.
