And at this hour, President Trump is on his way to China. 
The war in Iran overshadowing his highstakes summit with President Xi. 
At the White House earlier today, the president pressed about the stalled talks with Iran and insisting he doesn't need President Xi's help in ending the war. 
ABC's chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce, in Beijing tonight. 
Tonight, President Trump setting off for China, a trip he had already postponed once because of the war in Iran. 
This is going to be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are going to happen. 
Trump had hoped to arrive in China victorious over Iran with momentum to fuel new deals on trade and technology. 
Instead, the war is at a standstill. 
On Capitol Hill, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham warning the president to remember China is one of Iran's closest allies. 
Does China buy 90% of Iranian oil? 
Mr. Secretary, China buys a very large percentage of 
oil. 
Okay. 90% is pretty large. So, President Trump, when you go to China, realize that the person you're talking to is propping up Russia and Iran. 
Trump insists he doesn't need Chinese President Xi's help to end the war. 
We're going to have a long talk about it. 
Uh, I think he's been relatively good to be honest with you. And with the president had high hopes for this trip, 
looking to reset this relationship. He's bringing with him over a dozen American business leaders, including Apple's Tim Cook and Elon Musk on the agenda. 
Everything from tariffs to AI. But with the war with Iran looming large over all of this. 
Yes, a pivotal summit. 
Mir will be anchoring world news tonight and our coverage of the summit from China starting tomorrow
