The United States president, Donald Trump, is facing many issues with the North Korean nuclear missile program. The program has the ultimate goal of creating an ICBM, intercontinental ballistic missile, which would pose a great threat to the United States. Trump has asked the president of China, Xi Jinping to try to persuade the North Korean government to stop the missile program. China is the biggest ally of North Korea, so Trump hopes that China may have an influential effect on Kim Jung Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea. So far China has proven unsuccessful and North Korea has continued its missile program. You can read more about it here.
The president of the United States of America has the enumerated power of being the nation's Chief Diplomat and handling the most important foreign relations.
I believe that asking China to try and persuade the North Korean government to stop the missile program is a good idea. The country is becoming more and more dangerous as Kim Jung Un has tested more missiles than both his father and his grandfather and is slowly getting closer to developing an ICBM. I do not however believe that the best way of dealing with the situation is through military action due to the fact it could spark the next world war or at the very least, another Korean War. I believe a diplomatic path should be pursued in a calm and negotiating manner that does not cause any unnecessary bloodshed or conflict.
