Trump Delays China Trip One Month as Iran War Consumes Policy Bandwidth

President Trump postponed his scheduled trip to China by one month, citing the need to focus on the Iran conflict. The delay signals that the war is absorbing more policy bandwidth than the administration anticipated. Trump simultaneously stated Iran is 'ready to negotiate' but he is 'not ready to make a deal because the terms aren't good enough yet,' positioning himself as holding leverage while the humanitarian and economic costs mount.
