Fox reporter says ‘very physical standoff’ broke out at China summit
Fox News reporter reveals ‘physical clashes’ took place during Trump’s China summit
Fox News’ White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, revealed in a series of interviews that “heated and physical clashes” took place on the periphery of President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s bilateral discussions.
Doocy detailed one incident — described as a “very physical standoff” — between Chinese police and Secret Service personnel at “the backdoors” of one event where a Secret Service officer was prevented from carrying his weapon.
American journalists also faced obstacles, with the press pool temporarily blocked from accessing the Temple of Heaven and a Fox News reporter mistakenly ordered onto a bus that departed with only him and the driver.
An unidentified White House aide was reportedly trampled by Chinese reporters during one of Trump’s sit-downs with Xi, resulting in bruising and frustration among the U.S. delegation.
The U.S. delegation’s security precautions, such as collecting all Chinese-issued badges and burner phones before leaving Beijing, highlighted the underlying adversarial nature of the relationship.
