President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that he would delay his trip to China for “five or six weeks,” officially pushing the major summit after administration officials opened the door to the trip’s postponement as they focus on the war with Iran.
“We’re resetting the meeting, and it looks like it’ll take place in about five weeks,” Trump said, later saying five or six weeks. “We’re working with China. They were fine with it.”
Trump said that he is looking forward to seeing Chinese President Xi Jinping, adding, “We have a very good working relationship with China.”
China said Wednesday that it would “maintain communication” with the United States about Trump’s trip.
“Head‑of‑state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic guiding role in China–U.S. relations,” foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters at a regular briefing in Beijing.
