24.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Hosted Xi at the White House
⌨

Overnight a federal judge ordered the White House to restore credentials for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, ruling the ban likely unconstitutional. Morning denials prompted requests for an emergency hearing before all three outlets were readmitted by afternoon.

Attention then moved to Xi Jinping’s state visit. Trump greeted him at the White House with pageantry including a silent drill on the new helipad, praised a “truly great friendship” and announced an extension of the trade truce through January alongside a pandas agreement. Chinese accounts said talks covered Iran, Ukraine and the Koreas, while Xi said AI must remain under human control. The day closed with a state dinner in the East Room.

At the United Nations, Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s Gaza campaign, threatened Iran and denounced critics as moral cowards as delegations walked out and police arrested pro-Palestinian protesters outside.
