外交部：美方已澄清，特朗普访华事与霍尔木兹海峡通航问题无关
双语君约 3 分钟China and the United States are in communication with each other regarding the date of President Donald Trump's China visit, and there is no further information available at present, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.
Spokesman Lin Jian made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a related query.
Earlier on, certain media reported that Trump said his visit to China might be postponed if China doesn't provide assistance in escorting the Strait of Hormuz.
"We noted that the United States has publicly made clarifications on the misguided media reports, calling them completely false," Lin said, adding the US side stressed that the visit is not linked to the issue over the Strait of Hormuz.
美方澄清
据@CCTV国际时讯 消息，英国《金融时报》报道称，美国总统特朗普“因协助保障霍尔木兹海峡航行安全问题威胁推迟访华”。
对此，当地时间3月16日，美国财长贝森特、白宫新闻秘书莱维特及特朗普本人都公开予以澄清。
其中，贝森特说，特朗普的访华行程如果延期，那也不是因为特朗普要求中国维护霍尔木兹海峡通道安全，有关报道完全是错误的。如果与中国领导人的会晤改期，那将是由于后勤方面的原因，特朗普总统希望留在华盛顿协调战争事务，在这种时候出访可能不是最佳选择。
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that a change to Trump's itinerary would not be due to his requests for China to police the Strait of Hormuz.
"If the meetings are delayed, it wouldn't be delayed because the president demanded that China police the Strait of Hormuz," Bessent told Brian Sullivan on CNBC's "Squawk Box". "If the meeting, for some reason, is rescheduled, it would be rescheduled because of logistics."
"It would be a decision the president made as commander-in-chief to stay in the White House or to stay in the United States while this war is being prosecuted," he added.
白宫新闻秘书莱维特对记者称，特朗普总统期待访华，日期可能有所调整。特朗普总统当前首要任务是确保“史诗狂怒”行动继续取得成功。她不认为访华会取消，但很可能会推迟。
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt likewise said Monday that changing the dates of the trip is "really just a matter of the timing" and the president is primarily focused on the war with Iran.
"Of course, the president's utmost responsibility right now as commander-in-chief is to ensure the continued success of Operation Epic Fury, as he is doing 24/7 here at the White House, here at home," she added. "So we'll look forward to announcing those dates very soon."
