Trump and Xi when they last met in October
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he is planning to delay a high stakes visit to China later in March by about a month because of the Iran war.
"We've requested that we delay it a month or so," he told reporters at the White House, adding that it was important that he remained available to oversee the war.
The meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is currently set to take place between 31 March to 2 April, following their last face to face talks in October last year.
The Chinese embassy in Washington told the BBC that it had seen the reports regarding the meeting but did not have any information to provide.
