U.S. leader Donald Trump warned China on Thursday, a day before departing on his first Asia tour as president, that it must do more to rein in North Koreas nuclear ambitions or face a big problem with warrior nation Japan.
Japan is a warrior nation, and I tell China and I tell everyone else that listens, I mean, youre gonna have yourself a big problem with Japan pretty soon if you allow this to continue with North Korea, Trump said in an interview on the Fox News program The Ingraham Angle.
It was unclear what the U.S. leader was referring to, in terms of a big problem, but Trump had suggested during his successful campaign for president that he would be open to Japan acquiring its own nuclear weapons.
China has looked warily at recent moves to loosen postwar constraints imposed on Japans military and has long been suspicious of Tokyos large plutonium stockpile.
Trump is scheduled to visit Japan from Sunday, when he will meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has joined the U.S. president in his maximum pressure approach to nuclear-armed North Korea.
He will also visit China from Wednesday to Thursday and meet President Xi Jinping.

(Japan is beginning to consider dropping their pacifist code because Trump has shown they can't always rely on their ally, America, to support them.)
