President Trump thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping Friday for his assistance in getting North and South Korea to talk about formally ending the Korean War and denuclearizing the peninsula.

“Please do not forget the great help that my good friend, President Xi of China, has given to the United States, particularly at the Border of North Korea,” Trump tweeted. “Without him it would have been a much longer, tougher, process!”
