McCain, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said North Korea "murdered" Otto Warmbier, the 22-year-old American college student who died just days after North Korea released him from detention in a coma.
Warmbier, an OH native and student at the University of Virginia, was arrested in North Korea in January 2016 while visiting as a tourist. When he finally returned home last week, he was suffering from severe brain damage and was in a persistent vegetative state. In the House, lawmakers lined up behind legislation ordering the Treasury Department to prohibit all financial transactions related to travel to North Korea by Americans, unless specifically authorized by a US license. With pressure mounting for a tough US response, the Trump administration is reportedly weighing up the option of signing an executive order to ban travel to North Korea.
"I believe we must now have the perception that North Korea is an irrational regime", Moon told CBS television's "This Morning".
One Beijing-based travel agent who said his name was Gong told VOA that Warmbier's death "no doubt" would negatively impact "foreigners' interest in traveling to North Korea". Xi and Trump discussed a new North Korea strategy during their two-day summit in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
"I have great confidence that China will properly deal with North Korea".
The president says if Otto Warmbier had been returned home to the USA earlier, "I think the result would have been a lot different".
"It's a total disgrace what happened to Otto", Mr Trump said during an event in the Oval Office.
The young man's family has not revealed the cause of death but in a statement blasted the "awful torturous mistreatment" he endured while imprisoned.

Yes, 25 years old Tom London did all this on the TV reality show America's Got Talent audition and left everyone in shock. But what did you think? Should a Golden Buzzer be used as a reward or a way to save acts?
He said that he has spoken with Warmbier's family and called them "incredible" considering "what they've gone through". "At least I know China tried!"
In a report, The New York Times said that the tweet is "an extraordinary admission of failure in his strategy" for dealing with the rogue regime of Kim Jong-un.
The Ohio coroner's office said on Tuesday that it had not been able to determine the cause of Warmbier's death after carrying out an external examination.
The Trump statement about China was likely to increase pressure on Beijing ahead of Wednesday's Diplomatic and Security Dialogue, which will pair US.
"We went to buy propaganda posters together, so why in the world would he risk so much to steal a trivial poster?"
It is unknown at this time precisely why the family of Otto Warmbier opted to decline an autopsy in his perplexing case.
Mr Moon, a centre-left politician sworn in last month after a landslide win, favours engagement with the North to bring it to the negotiating table, rather than the hardline stance of his ousted predecessor. "He was home and we believe he could sense that".
