"Leavitt confirmed on Wednesday that Trump's trip will now take place on May 14 and 15, instead of its originally planned dates, from March 31 to April 2."
"Fighting in Iran has continued as the war approaches the one-month mark, despite repeated assurances by the White House that victory is close at hand."
"China has called for an end to the war. Trump, meanwhile, has requested that China help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Beijing has so far declined to participate."
President Trump will visit Beijing on May 14-15, delaying his trip originally set for March 31-April 2 due to the ongoing war in Iran. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the new dates and mentioned that President Xi Jinping will visit Washington, DC, later this year. Leavitt denied that the rescheduling was contingent on the war's conclusion. The conflict has affected global oil shipping, particularly impacting China's oil imports from Iran, which account for a significant portion of their supply.
