Trump's Iran war duties, not China disputes, could delay Beijing summit, Bessent says

President Trump may postpone his China summit to focus on coordinating the U.S. response to the Iran war and press China to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, officials said.

  • Donald Trump may delay his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping due to coordinating the war with Iran, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
  • Bessent said the two-day talks with Chinese officials in Paris aimed to prepare for the summit were constructive and showed stability in the U.S.-China relationship.
  • Trump said the U.S. had spoken to about seven nations about offering military support for the Iran war and suggested China could join them.
