United States President Donald Trump has accused the Russian government of derailing efforts to curb North Korea's missile programme as tensions between both countries continue to grow sour in recent times.
Trump however took time to praise China for helping the U.S. so far in the mission to get rid of North Korea's nuclear weapons.
"China is helping us and maybe Russia's going through the other way and hurting what we're getting," Trump said of the North Korea situation.
U.S.-Russia relations have been strained over allegations Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its backing of the Syrian government.
In an interview with Fox Business Network, Trump said it would be easier to resolve the North Korea nuclear issue if the United States had a better relationship with Russia.
"I think we could have a good relationship" with Russia, Trump said. "I think that North Korean situation would be easier settled."
