US President Donald Trump says he is “very disappointed” with China for not doing enough to stop North Korea’s weapons programme.<\/p>\n
Writing on Twitter, he said he would not allow China to “do nothing” about the reclusive state.<\/p>\n
His comments came a day after Pyongyang test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in a month.<\/p>\n
It later claimed the test proved that the entire US was within striking range of its weaponry.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, two US B-1 bombers conducted exercises over the Korean peninsula with South Korean and Japanese planes.<\/p>\n
The move was a “direct response” to the North’s two ICBM launches, and “part of the continuing demonstration of ironclad US commitment to our allies”, the US Pacific Command said.<\/p>\n
“North Korea remains the most urgent threat to regional stability,” Gen Terrence J O’Shaughnessy, Pacific Air Forces commander, added\u00a0in a statement.<\/a><\/p>\n
