Chinese security blocks Secret Service agent’s access to event during Trump trip

Chinese security blocked a U.S. Secret Service agent from entering Beijing’s Temple of Heaven with their weapon during President Trump’s bilateral meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping on Thursday. 

According to the White House press pool, the entry into the event site was delayed nearly an hour and a half due to an “intense discussion” between U.S. and Chinese officials after the security team refused to allow a Secret Service agent into the temple with their weapon. 

A compromise between both sides was eventually reached, according to the pool. 

Reports of the tensions come as Trump wraps the first........
