During Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the on Thursday morning, Chinese photographers stole the show by clashing with Secret Service agents while awaiting Xi’s arrival and later shoving American reporters as they made their way through the briefing room. 

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed Xi and his wife, Madame Peng, to the White House this morning. Trump and Xi delivered remarks, exchanged gifts, and observed a military review.

The festivities included a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and F-22 flyover.

This follows Trump’s spectacular welcoming ceremony for the Chinese President on Wednesday at Joint Base Andrews. Trump also orchestrated a B-1 bomber demonstration during an arrival ceremony with cannons, a 21-gun salute, a presentation of colors, the US Band, platoons from each branch of the US military, and American flower presenters.

Ahead of Xi's arrival, Chinese photographers were causing trouble for the American press and Secret Service.

AFP correspondent Danny Kemp shared footage from a confrontation at the South Portico this morning after the Chinese reporters shoved their way to the front of the crowd to get their shot.

Another clip from the Telegraph's Connor Stringer shows a Chinese photographer being physically restrained and then escorted away by two female Secret Service agents.

White House print pooler Kerry Picket reported:

Following a relatively loud disagreement between Chinese photographers, a White House staff photographer and secret service over where the Chinese photographer could set up, the ceremony began.
POTUS and FLOTUS walked out on to the North Portico where a red carpet was rolled out. They were met by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Madam Liyuan Peng who rolled up in a black suv.

During a later photo op, Trump joked that the Chinese had the friendliest press corps, according to the White House press pool.

Following the events this morning, NTD correspondent Iris Tao shared another video from inside the briefing room where a male Chinese photographer "shoved an American female reporter while rushing through the briefing room door to the Oval Office."
