Trump Delays China Trip Over Iran War
Trump wants to delay his meeting with China's leader Xi Jinping. The meeting was set for March 31 to April 2.
Trump wants to push it back by about one month. Trump said he needs to stay in Washington.
The Middle East war is his reason. Trump earlier hinted he might delay the trip.
He said this if Xi did not help unblock the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping route in the Middle East.
Klear Note — The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman. About one-third of world's oil shipped by sea passes through it. Wars in the Middle East can block this route and raise oil prices globally.
