BEIJING — China will suspend all imports of coal from North Korea until the end of the year, the Commerce Ministry announced Saturday, in a surprise move that would cut off a major financial lifeline for Pyongyang and significantly enhance the effectiveness of U.N. sanctions.
Coal is North Korea’s largest export item, and also China’s greatest point of leverage over the regime.
Quote:
President Trump has also called on China to put more pressure on North Korea to stop its nuclear weapons program, and the subject may have come up during a telephone conversation he had with Xi earlier this month.
China has “total control over North Korea,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox & Friends” in early January. “And China should solve that problem. And if they don’t solve the problem, we should make trade very difficult for China.”

Of course the cited article gives Kim Jong-Un more 'credit' for China's action than Trump but we all know Trump and his supporters have never been shy about taking credit where none is due.

Wait, did Trump order the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam?
Please, this has nothing to do with Drumpf. This has been in the works for awhile and when the man China was protecting was murdered, China accelerated the ban.
Hope this doesn't hurt Hillary getting her North Korean Pantsuits.
