President Donald Trump traveled to the National Archives to meet with China’s President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan. Meanwhile, a media controversy unfolded as CNN was replaced by the conservative Real America’s Voice News for Trump’s trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he planned to attend a college football game. This decision followed a temporary court ruling allowing CNN, MS NOW, and Politico journalists back into the White House after being banned. The ruling did not address access to Air Force One, leaving CNN excluded from the trip. This situation highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the media, raising questions about press freedom and access.
