Trump seeks to delay meeting with China's Xi

US President Donald Trump on Monday said he is seeking to delay a highly anticipated trip to China in early April by about a month because of the Iran war.



"Because of the war I want to be here, I have to be here, I feel. And so we've requested that we delay it a month or so," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about the China trip.



The US leader insisted that he had a "very good relationship" with China and was not trying to play games by postponing the highly anticipated trip to the rival superpower.





China's embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
