Trump delays Beijing trip as war continues

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said that the war involving Iran could end “soon”, even as he delayed a planned visit to China, saying he needed to remain in Washington during the conflict.

“I don't think so. But it'll be soon, won't be long,” Trump said when asked if the war could be wrapped up this week. “We're going to have a much safer world when it's wrapped up.”

Trump said he had asked China to postpone the visit by about a month. “We're speaking to China. I'd love to, but because of the war, I want to be here. I have to be here, I feel,” he said. “And so we've requested that we delay it a month or so.”

The president was scheduled to travel to China from March 28 to April 1. New dates have not been announced.
