President Donald Trump says the United States has requested to postpone a scheduled meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by “a month or so” due to the United States’ ongoing war with Iran.

“We’re speaking to China,” he said, adding that he’d love to visit Beijing. “But, because of the war, I want to be here. I have to be here. We’ve requested that we delay it a month or so, and I’m looking forward to being with them.”
