US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has not had direct discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the ongoing conflict in West Asia. He emphasized that the US maintains a strong relationship with China and noted that Xi desires an end to the war. Trump warned that China would face significant consequences if it extended military support to Iran, stating, "If China does that, China will have big problems, OK?" Additionally, Trump confirmed that his previously postponed visit to China has been rescheduled for May 14-15, 2024. He described the upcoming meetings as part of reciprocal diplomatic engagements, highlighting the importance of these visits for both nations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that the delay in the meeting was due to operational priorities related to military actions in the Middle East, which Xi understood. The preparations for what Trump called "Historic Visits" are currently underway.
