Trump: Due to the Middle East conflict, may delay visit to China
US President Trump said that due to the Middle East conflict, he may delay his visit to China.
Trump said in an interview with the Financial Times: "We may delay it."
Trump called on Beijing to join Washington's efforts to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
He said, "I think China should also help, because 90% of China's oil comes from the Strait of Hormuz."
Trump also said he hopes to receive a response from China to his proposal to help restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz before his visit to China.
White House officials announced on February 20 that Trump will visit China from March 31 to April 2. US Secretary of State Rubio said on the 25th that the long-standing disputes between the US and China are now in a "stable" state.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on March 12 that China and the US maintain communication regarding interactions between their heads of state.
