The day was dominated by the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing, with Xi's warning on Taiwan as the central theme. In the morning, multiple outlets reported Xi's warning that mishandling Taiwan could lead to conflict, with some noting Trump's silence on the issue. By early afternoon, coverage expanded to include a hot mic incident capturing an awkward F-bomb clash, and the Strait of Hormuz deal where Trump and Xi agreed to keep the waterway open. In the evening, the Supreme Court's decision to preserve access to the abortion pill mifepristone became a major story, with multiple outlets covering the ruling. Other developments included the resignation of US Border Patrol chief Michael Banks, FBI Director Kash Patel's 'VIP snorkel' at Pearl Harbor, and CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Cuba.
