Report: Xi Jinping asked for '100-day grace period' on North Korea

Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to implement sanctions against Chinese firms enabling North Korea during his first summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, but also asked Trump for a "100-day grace period."


Multiple officials from the United States and Japan told the Asahi Shimbun the two leaders agreed to cooperate on North Korea, but Xi asked for more time.

According to the Japanese newspaper's sources, Trump said the United States would impose unilateral sanctions against "several Chinese companies, including major financial institutions that deal with North Korea," unless China agreed to work with Washington.
