President Trump on Monday urged China to keep a “strong & tight” hold on its border with North Korea until a deal is reached with Pyongyang over its nuclear program.
“China must continue to be strong & tight on the Border of North Korea until a deal is made,” the president wrote on Twitter.
“The word is that recently the Border has become much more porous and more has been filtering in. I want this to happen, and North Korea to be VERY successful, but only after signing!”

The tweet comes ahead of Trump’s June 12 summit in Singapore, where he is slated to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
