Trump's China Visit at Risk: Iran Tensions Escalate

0:00On April 21st, President Trump dropped a bombshell on CNBC Tuesday morning, claiming U.S. forces intercepted a ship from China carrying some kind of, give to Iran. He called it not very nice, and said it caught him off guard, given his solid relationship with President Xi. That accusation hits right before their planned meet-up in Beijing on May 14th to 15th. The trip got pushed from early April because Trump wanted to handle the Iran situation stateside first. The war with Iran is dragging into its second month now, way past Trump's initial six-week prediction. Folks are wondering if it will wrap up in time for that China visit, especially with ceasefire talks hanging in the balance. Trump insists Iran is basically beaten and headed for a strong U.S. deal. But he's clear, no long extensions on the pause in fighting, and if they don't negotiate soon, bombings resume since the military is primed and ready. All eyes stay on these tensions as Trump balances the fronts, pushing for quick resolutions before his big Beijing trip shakes things up further.
