According to one expert, the recent downturn in U.S.-China trade talks may not bode well for Trump's denuclearization dialogue with Pyongyang.
The Trump administration has typically taken a "maximum pressure" strategy toward Pyongyang, which consists of military threats, diplomatic actions and harsh tariffs.
If the U.S.-China trade deal falls apart, Beijing can use North Korea "as a weapon against the United States," Kazianis said. " could end maximum pressure in days by just opening up the border." North Korea is still continuing to build ballistic missiles, he added. "Just because they're not testing them in the sky doesn't mean they're not testing them in their laboratory, that their scientists aren't working at it."
