U.S. Orders Air Force One Travelers to Discard Items After China Trip for Security Reasons
President Trump and a delegation of U.S. officials concluded a two-day visit to Beijing, engaging in high-level discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Upon departure, travelers on Air Force One, including White House staffers and reporters, were instructed to dispose of various items acquired during the trip. These items included burner phones, credential badges, and lapel pins issued by China. The directive was reportedly due to security concerns, as China is known for its advanced intelligence and espionage capabilities. The decision underscores the ongoing tension between the U.S. and China, despite the seemingly cordial nature of the summit.
