Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. government has prioritized pressuring China to use its leverage over North Korea to end its nuclear program over reducing the trade deficit. China holds significant economic and diplomatic influence over North Korea, and the U.S. sees it as a key player in achieving a peaceful resolution to the North Korean nuclear crisis.
