U.S. President Trump stated on the 16th that he has requested the Chinese side to postpone his originally scheduled visit to China at the end of the month by about one month, so that he can remain in the United States to handle the situation with Iran.
When responding to reporters' questions at the White House, Trump said that he is coordinating this visit to China and very much hopes to go as planned, but due to the conflict, he must stay in Washington. He has requested a slight postponement from the Chinese side, but it won't be long, and he looks forward to meeting again.
Earlier, Trump warned that if China did not provide assistance with escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz, he would cancel the visit to Beijing. However, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant confirmed in an interview with a financial channel that Trump's visit to China may be postponed, not to put pressure on China, but because handling the military conflict takes precedence.
