White House: Kim Jong Un's trip to Beijing shows 'maximum pressure' campaign is working

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s surprise trip to China is “evidence” that a “maximum pressure” campaign on Pyongyang is working, the White House touted Tuesday evening.

“The Chinese government contacted the White House earlier on Tuesday to brief us on Kim Jong Un’s visit to Beijing,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. “The briefing included a personal message from President Xi to President Trump, which has been conveyed to President Trump.”
