King John II of Portugal rejected Columbus' request for support in his voyage to find a westward route to Asia because he believed the plan was unfeasible and underestimated the distance to Asia. Additionally, Portugal was already focused on exploring and establishing trade routes around Africa, which seemed more promising. Columbus's proposal did not align with the strategic interests of Portugal at the time, leading the king to decline his request.
