China ‘still communicating’ with US over Trump visit despite talk of delay
AI Summary
China has confirmed ongoing communication with the US regarding Donald Trump's planned visit to Beijing, scheduled between March 31st and April 2nd. This comes despite Trump suggesting a potential delay if China doesn't assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for international trade disrupted by the US-Israeli war with Iran. Trump stated China, a major beneficiary of the strait, should contribute to its security. China, while calling for a ceasefire in Iran, has not directly addressed Trump's request for warships but claims to be communicating with all parties to de-escalate tensions. The Strait of Hormuz blockage, caused by retaliation for airstrikes that killed Iran's supreme leader, has led to significant oil supply disruptions.
