WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's top national security aides have completed a broad review of U.S. options aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, a U.S. official said on Sunday.
The review, which was accelerated to have it done ahead of Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, includes a range of possible economic and military measures but leans more towards new sanctions and increased pressure on Beijing to rein in its neighbor, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It was not immediately known whether the recommendations put together by Trump's National Security Council had made its way to the president, the official said.
Trump told the Financial Times in an interview published on Sunday that the United States is prepared to respond to North Korean nuclear threats on its own if China fails to pressure Pyongyang.
