Trump says U.S. asked China to delay Xi meeting ‘a month or so’ due to Iran war

Trump may delay China visit if Beijing does not assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz, a route for one-fifth of global oil, amid Iran tensions, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump said the U.S. has asked to delay his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing by "a month or so" due to the ongoing war with Iran.
  • Any delay in Trump's scheduled trip to China risks magnifying tensions between Washington and Beijing, as the Iran crisis has joined trade and Taiwan among the issues separating the two biggest economies.
  • Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday he might postpone the meeting if China did not help to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil transits daily.
