President Trump said he could delay a planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping if Beijing does not help unblock the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Financial Times and Bloomberg. The comment raises political risk around a critical chokepoint for energy and shipping, which could affect oil and insurance markets if tensions escalate. For now the statement is a diplomatic lever rather than an immediate market-moving event; monitor follow-up actions from Beijing and any disruptions to maritime traffic.
