President Donald Trump said he may delay a planned meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, while urging Beijing to assist in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
“It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” the president said in an interview with the Financial Times. Trump said he would like to know China’s position on the matter before his planned visit to Beijing at the end of the month to meet Xi.
“I think China should help too because China gets 90 percent of its oil from the Straits [sic],” he said of China’s reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. Trump did not indicate how long the meeting could be delayed. The reason for any delay remains unclear.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East has caused many tankers to stop transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments. Trump told reporters on March 15 that he has demanded about seven countries who rely heavily on the Strait of Hormuz to help secure the shipping route.
“I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their own territory,” he said, without naming the countries. (More)

Migraine is capable of far more than a splitting headache. It is a complex neurological disorder that can disrupt vision, movement, speech, and mood—and it remains one of the most undiagnosed and untreated conditions in the world. Roughly 12 to 15 percent of Americans experience migraines, and despite stable prevalence over the past three decades, migraine-related disability in the United States has continued to rise. A growing range of treatments and natural approaches—from targeted medications to mindfulness and herbal remedies—can meaningfully reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
Migraine is a genetically influenced neurological disorder marked by recurring episodes of moderate to severe headaches, often affecting one side of the head, sometimes going beyond and affecting the neck, face, or entire head.
Most migraine attacks unfold in stages, and recognizing them can help people act early to reduce severity. Not everyone experiences every phase, and phases can overlap.
Prodrome (hours to days before): Subtle warning signs may appear, including mood swings (from depression to euphoria), food cravings, neck stiffness, fatigue, excessive yawning, increased thirst and urination, or constipation. These are not triggers; they are just early signs the migraine has begun.
Aura (up to one hour before): At least 25 percent of people with migraine experience aura—reversible neurological symptoms that typically appear 10 minutes to an hour before the headache.
Attack (4 to 72 hours): The migraine is in its active phase. A migraine headache usually begins gradually and intensifies over time. Pain is typically throbbing or pulsating and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light, sound, smell, or touch. (More)
