Romney camp views China as key to resolving N. Korean issue
WASHINGTON, July 25 -- Former Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive presidential candidate of the Republican Party, believes China holds the key to resolving the North Korea problem, a close aide to Romney said Wednesday."North Korea is a tremendously difficult problem," Rich Williamson, senior adviser for foreign and defense policy for Romney, said at a forum in Washington. He said the Romney camp recognizes that China is "the leverage point" to try to change North Korea, armed with nuclear weapons and various missiles. "As you know, North Korea is sustained by Beijing's food support," he said, citing Washington's years of efforts to put more pressure on North Korea through China. He pointed out Romney has not outlined the details of his strategy on Pyongyang yet, but hinted that he supports the six-party talks on the communist nation's nuclear program.
