An ICBM test Tuesday has the Trump administration looking for new partners to put pressure on the North Korean regime.
While US intelligence was aware of the first stage KN-17 missile, a second, range extending portion, was used for the first time by North Korea. The missile reached an estimated altitude of 1,741 miles before landing off the coast of South Korea.
In response, President Trump is weighing options ahead of the G20 Summit where he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The President took to Twitter Wednesday to voice his frustration with the lack of assistance from the Chinese government. 
“Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us – but we had to give it a try!,” President Trump tweeted.
Continued economic relations between the Chinese and the North Koreans now have the Trump administration looking for other partners to pressure the regime of Kim Jong Un.
Senior Administration officials have confirmed that President Trump will meet Russian President Putin on Friday, but have declined to say how much will be discussed regarding North Korea.
In the past, President Trump has said he would like to develop a closer relationship with Russia in order to combat such threats as North Korea.
