An understandable response
"We are prepared to act alone if China is unable to cooperate with us against Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions, which violates international law," published Tillerson at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump received a Chinese colleague. Regarding the US attack on the air base in Syria on Thursday, Tillerson said that Xi, after Trump directly informed him about the attack in Syria and explained the reasons for the act, "understands the response of the United States on Syrian chemical attacks due to the death of children."
