US President Donald Trump has postponed his planned visit to China due to the ongoing war with Iran, shifting focus to the escalating conflict.
The trip, originally scheduled for late March, was aimed at easing tensions and advancing trade talks between the two countries. The delay has now pushed back key discussions on tariffs, semiconductors, agriculture and other major issues.
Officials say the visit could take place in five to six weeks, but the postponement has raised concerns over the pace of US-China engagement and trade negotiations.
