U.S. President Donald trump on Sunday asserted that he would go all alone to restrain North Korea's nuclear weapons program if China fail to change the situation.

As per the CNN, Trump quoted saying that if Beijing won't help solve the matter, then "we will" do it alone.

"China will either decide to help us with North Korea or they won't," Trump said in an interview to an American Daily newspaper, reported CNN. "If they do, that will be very good for China, and if they don't, it won't be good for anyone."

Trump administration has always highlighted its concern over the North Korean nuclear threat. Moreover, Trump has always argued that China is responsible for the continued nuclear proliferation in North Korea.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson even visited China last month to build pressure on the North Korea's neighbour for help in mitigating the threat.

Meanwhile, Trump will also host Chinese President Xi Jinping this week in the U.S., where this matter intends to be raised.

This year, Pyongyang has fired numerous missiles.
