Chinese security officials refused to allow a U.S. Secret Service agent into an historic Beijing temple compound because he was carrying a gun.
The incident, on the first full day of Donald Trump’s state visit to China, led to an “intense” half-hour standoff between rival security officials, according to a reporter traveling with the president.
Accompanied by Cabinet secretaries and leading tech CEOs, Trump is in China for talks with President Xi Jinping expected to address major trade disputes, tensions over Taiwan, and the Iran war.
