Donald Trump has said his trip to China this month to meet with the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, could be delayed by “a month or so”.
But a key Trump administration official insisted the move was not to press Beijing to help unblock the strait of Hormuz.
Trump said: “We’re speaking to China. I would love to, but because of the war, I want to be here.
“We have requested that we delay it a month or so, and I’m looking forward to meeting with him. We’ve got a war going on. I think it’s important that I be here. So it could be that we delay it a little bit, not much.”
