Why Trump’s highly anticipated China meeting with Xi might be postponed
NY Post
WASHINGTON — A much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping may be postponed due to logistical snarls stemming from the ongoing war in Iran, according to White House officials.
The current plan calls for Trump to travel to the Far East March 31-April 2 to discuss a range of issues with Xi. It will mark the first trip by a sitting president to China since Trump himself made the same journey in November 2017.
“It is a leader-to-leader conversation at this point,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday morning. “The president looks forward to visiting China. The dates may be moved.
“As commander in chief, it’s his number one priority right now to ensure the continued success of this operation, Epic Fury. So we will keep you updated on the dates soon.”
