National security adviser Jake Sullivan met with China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi on Monday and raised concerns about Beijing’s recent veto at the United Nations against a Washington-led push to impose additional sanctions on North Korea.
The U.S. government has been warning that North Korea could conduct its first nuclear test since 2017 at any time. China vetoed the attempted sanctions against North Korea on May 26, insisting that this was done to prevent Pyongyang from conducting nuclear tests.
