The US President announced that he asked China to postpone his visit to Beijing and the summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, scheduled for early April, by a month due to the war in the Middle East.
"We're in negotiations with China," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "Because of the war, I want to be here, I feel I should be here. So we've asked for the meeting to be moved by about a month."
Answering journalists' questions, the American leader also said that the war is unlikely to end this week.
"I don't think so [that this week], but it will be soon. It won't take long," he added.
