What to know

  • A media blackout prevented live TV coverage of Xi Jinping's arrival on Sept 23 after Trump revoked White House credentials from CNN, Politico, and MSNBC.
  • Trump broke diplomatic protocol by meeting Xi at an airport military base rather than the White House, an unusual move that went largely unbroadcast.
  • Within hours of the subdued arrival, a federal judge ordered the White House to restore the suspended press credentials, likely ruling the ban violated constitutional due process rights.
