Trump Posts Photo With Xi and Natalie Harp Ahead of Presidential Summit
Trump shared a photo with Xi Jinping ahead of their summit, drawing attention to longtime aide Natalie Harp's presence.
President Donald Trump posted a photograph on Thursday morning, sharing a moment with Chinese President Xi Jinping prior to their upcoming summit at the White House. The image depicted the two leaders standing near Xi's aircraft at Joint Base Andrews, with Trump's longtime aide Natalie Harp in the background. The post featured the caption "Only Trump" above the photo.
Unlike his wife, Melania Trump, was absent from the photograph, as she was present at the arrival ceremony on Wednesday. Harp has been a close aide to Trump for years, and her presence in the photo has recently drawn attention due to her involvement in decisions regarding media access to the White House. CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins reported that Harp presented Trump with media coverage that led to the denial of access for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico reporters to the Oval Office.
The White House denied this claim, stating that the "Fake News" should not demand a spot in the President's Oval Office and that they can report from outside.
