Washington, President Donald Trump postponed a planned March 31–April 2 trip to Beijing, announcing on March 17 that the summit with President Xi Jinping would be reset to 'about five or six weeks' later as the administration shifted focus to the Iran war. He said discussions with China continued and that Beijing accepted the change. U.S. appeals for Chinese and allied naval assistance to secure the Strait of Hormuz were rebuffed. The delay disrupted trade and diplomatic calendars and heightened market and geopolitical uncertainty. Officials provided limited scheduling details and declined comment.
