木曜、トランプ大統領と習近平国家主席による首脳会談の際、武器を携帯していたシークレットサービスの捜査官が北京の警備区域への立ち入りを拒否され、中国当局者と激しい対立が生じた。
この出来事により、トランプ大統領の車列に向かおうとしていたホワイトハウスの記者団の出発が30分遅れた。先に区域内にいた別の捜査官が戻り、混乱の渦中にいた記者団を誘導した。この様子はBBCのライブ映像で捉えられている。記者たちはフラストレーションをあらわにし、「行かなければ！」や「米メディアだ、行くぞ！」といった声が上がった。ある人物は現場の状況を「ひどい騒ぎ」と表現した。さらに別の中国当局者が一行を制止しようとしたが、最終的に記者たちは大統領の車列に合流した。
X上での初期の反応では、トランプ大統領訪中時の北京で、銃器を巡り米シークレットサービスと中国当局の間で緊迫した物理的対峙があったことが報じられた。一部の投稿では、これはすぐに解決した日常的なプロトコル上の摩擦であると評された一方、非外交的あるいは計画性の欠如を示すものだとの批判も出た。懐疑的なユーザーは、この出来事を大げさな騒ぎだと嘲笑したり、今回の訪問の価値を疑問視したりした。

Translation: Chinese security said no guns inside and Secret Service threw a tantrum at the door.
"Things have been ironed out" = they were told no and went inside anyway.
This visit was a mistake. No American President should ever go to China until Xi Jinping is gone.
