WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said that the war involving Iran could end “soon”, even as he delayed a planned visit to China, saying he needed to remain in Washington during the conflict.
“I don't think so. But it'll be soon, won't be long, ” Trump said when asked if the war could be wrapped up this week. “We're going to have a much safer world when it's wrapped up.”
Trump said he had asked China to postpone the visit by about a month. “We're speaking to China. I'd love to, but because of the war, I want to be here. I have to be here, I feel, ” he said. “And so we've requested that we delay it a month or so.”
The president was scheduled to travel to China from March 28 to April 1. New dates have not been announced.
