President Trump is asking his supporters to help him award a “Fake News Trophy.”

President Trump on Thursday accused China of illegally selling oil to North Korea, in violation of United Nations sanctions designed to isolate North Korea over its nuclear program.

Trump's tweet appeared to comment on a South Korean newspaper report, which said Chinese and North Korean ships were meeting at sea to hand off the oil.
