Trump Warns NATO and China as Iran War Enters Day 17, May Delay Xi Summit
• President Trump has warned NATO and China amid an ongoing Iran war that reached its 17th day, with the conflict affecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and creating economic ripple effects. • Trump told the Financial Times the U.S. "may delay" a scheduled summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in less than three weeks if the strait situation is not resolved, potentially impacting trade negotiations led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. • Middle East experts indicate the war is progressing favorably for the U.S. militarily but facing challenges in other dimensions, with the shipping bottleneck threatening to disrupt global trade during a critical period of U.S.-China relations.
