WASHINGTON—A former U.S. defense official who served on the Trump transition team said on April 17 that he had been prevented from speaking at a forum in China after its embassy in Washington failed to approve his visa.

Michael Pillsbury said he submitted a visa application on March 22 and it had not been granted in time for him to travel to Beijing for the April 14 event.
