White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that United States President Donald Trump's meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping "could be delayed," but emphasized that the meeting is "not in jeopardy."
"These are leader-to-leader conversations that are currently taking place, and if the trip is delayed, then of course, we will provide those dates very soon. I know President Xi was very excited to welcome President Trump to Beijing, and I know that President Trump looks forward to this trip. It's really just a matter of the timing," Leavitt told Fox News.
The White House press secretary stated that Trump is speaking directly with Washington's allies and with the partners in the Gulf and Arab world to urge them to "step up" and help with the efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the US president previously said that he believes Beijing should also help, since China gets the majority of its oil from the waterway.
