Mr. Trump said that America's trust in China to restrain North Korea was misplaced.

On Twitter, the US President said: "Trade between China and North Korea grew nearly 40% in the first quarter. China is cooperating with us like this - but we still need to try!".

The US leader's statement was made just hours before he left for the G20 Summit in Europe.

Here, President Trump is expected to have his second summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the conference.

Previously, the US leader expressed anger that Beijing did not fully utilize its role in curbing Pyongyang's nuclear program.

The US leader's statement came just one day after North Korea reportedly successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting targets in the US./.
