Ed Henry: ‘This Is Game Day’ for Trump Who Has to ‘Pressure the Chinese’ on North Korea

‘Now he actually has to follow up with President Xi’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HENRY: "Fact check for Corey Lewandowski he put oa lot on the table at the top of the hour. He said greatest negotiator ever in office. Fair point in terms of the big picture and what the president likes to tout. Now he actually has to follow up with president XI. Remember, we heard this kind of talk about negotiating skills at Mar-a-Lago when he sat down with president XI a couple of Montgomery ago and they were talking about north Korea then. Frankly even the president admits himself that the Chinese have not followed through. So this is game day for the president. He has got to pressure the Chinese to have much more crippling economic sanctions against North Korea, white House aides are signaling that he is ready to do that. Let’s see if he follows through. And by the way, I think in fairness to the president, there was all the same skepticism have you been pointing out about his meeting with Putin. What did he do? He actually delivered. He didn’t just push back about Russian meddling and raise that with Putin. But beyond that, let’s not forget the president came out of that with a cease-fire. In the campaign for Syria. Last year, that’s what the president was talking about. And Democrats mocked him. The president as a candidate said I want to get closer to Putin. Not just buddy buddy up to him. I want to work with Russia so, in places like Syria, we can get cooperation, unlike we — what we saw in the Obama days."
