Trump May Delay China Trip Over Hormuz Crisis
1 day ago
President Donald Trump says he may delay a planned trip to China as he pressures Beijing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
In an interview, Trump said China benefits from the key shipping lane and should play a role in keeping it open, as disruptions continue to threaten global oil flows and raise energy concerns.
The Strait of Hormuz — a vital route for international trade — has faced severe interruptions during the war, prompting warnings about economic impacts worldwide.
The comments come as U.S. and Chinese officials hold trade talks in Paris tied to preparations for the potential visit.
