Trump Delays China Visit As Iran War Intensifies. US President Donald Trump is planning to delay a key visit to China by around a month, as the war with Iran escalates. The high-stakes meeting with President Xi Jinping was originally scheduled for late March, but Trump says he wants to remain in Washington to oversee the conflict. Speaking at the White House, he stressed the decision is purely strategic, saying it’s important he stays in the US during a time of war. The conflict is now overshadowing much of his foreign policy agenda, while also disrupting global oil supplies and raising concerns over rising prices. China has confirmed that talks are ongoing over the timing of the visit. Despite the delay, Trump says relations with Xi remain strong and that he looks forward to meeting him soon. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added that the postponement is not linked to trade tensions, but to the President’s focus on managing the war effort from Washington.
