Trump asks China to delay Xi summit as Iran war rages

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he had asked China to delay his summit with Xi Jinping by around a month while he deals with the war in the West Asia.

Mr. Trump had been due to visit Beijing from March 31 to April 2 to reset ties and extend a U.S.-China trade truce, but the trip has been upended by the Iran conflict.

"Because of the war I want to be here, I have to be here, I feel. And so we've requested that we delay it a month or so," Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about the China trip.
