Trump Signals Beijing Summit Delay Amid Hormuz Crisis, Begs China for Help
The planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, originally scheduled for March 31 to April 2, faces potential delay. President Trump indicated that Washington seeks Beijing’s assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting this could influence the timing of his visit. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent later suggested any rescheduling would be for logistical reasons, such as the President remaining in Washington to manage the Iran situation, rather than directly linked to demands on China regarding the strait.
