00:06his counterpart Xi Jinping is delayed due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
00:12From the White House, President Trump told reporters that the meeting with the Chinese head of state is being rescheduled
00:19as the war against Iran extends into its third week and the Strait of Armour remains closed to almost all
00:25global shipping.
00:26Trump was scheduled to visit Beijing from March 31st to April 2nd, but now the trip has been postponed for
00:34at least five weeks.
00:36Let's recall that Trump has urged China to send military assistance to open the Strait of Armour while also repeatedly
00:43claiming that Washington has the situation under control in the Middle East.
00:47On the other hand, if the Strait remains closed and the war continues, Trump could find himself in a diplomatic
00:54disadvantage in the upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping.
