Trump May Delay China Summit Amid Iran Conflict and Strait of Hormuz Concerns

US President Donald Trump has indicated a possible delay to his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, citing the ongoing Iran conflict and logistical concerns. Trump seeks China's support in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route, before proceeding with the visit. While Trump suggested the trip may be postponed pending China's position, US officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, stated any delay would be due to logistical reasons rather than disagreements with Beijing. Both countries remain in communication about the summit.
