Trump Postpones China Summit as Iran Tensions Escalate
President Trump delays meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as the US and Iran move closer to war, with the administration shifting its focus to the growing conflict in the Middle East.
In a move that signals the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump has announced that he will delay his planned trip to China, originally scheduled for March 31 through April 2. The postponement comes as the administration shifts its focus to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with the US and Iran seemingly on the brink of war.
The decision to delay the meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was made in order to allow Trump to concentrate on the rapidly deteriorating situation in the Persian Gulf. The administration has been engaged in a war of words with Iran, and there are growing concerns that the tensions could boil over into a full-scale military confrontation.
