24.09.2026 ⢠The Day Trump Hosted Xi at the White House
â¨
Overnight attention stayed on Washington, where Trump gave Xi a rare tarmac greeting ahead of White House talks, with the US extending the Busan trade truce by two months. Coverage followed the flyover wince to the meeting itself, centred on AI â Trumpâs âsuper intelligenceâ push against Xiâs insistence it remain under human control â trade and Iran, ending with both claiming a âgreat meetingâ and a state dinner.
At home the Gosport blockade gave way to a new Channel flashpoint, as Danny Tommo, described as Tommy Robinsonâs right-hand man, was arrested at a petrol station for slashing a migrant dinghy with a rescuer aboard, on the day almost 800 migrants crossed â the yearâs highest daily total.
Westminster polling filled the gaps, with a âBurnham bounceâ wiping out Greens in London, Tories projected ahead of Reform, and claims Downing Street advisers were pushing for an early election.
