Trump asks to delay summit with China's Xi due to Iran war

President Donald Trump has asked to postpone a planned summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He cited the ongoing war involving Iran as the reason, seeking to delay the meeting by about a month.

Some reports suggest the delay could give China more time to assess the situation in the Iran conflict and the related crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. One headline indicated Trump had made China's cooperation on the Strait of Hormuz a condition for the visit.
