President Trump said he might delay his trip to Beijing at the end of the month as he presses China to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said he wants Beijing to help address oil disruptions ahead of his summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

"I think China should help too because China gets 90% of its oil" via the strait, Trump said. "We'd like to know before that," he said, referring to the summit. "We may delay," he said, without specifying for how long.
