  "summary": "US President Donald Trump will host Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House for a state visit. The visit is aimed at maintaining peace despite existing tensions over trade and other issues.\n\nA US judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access to journalists from CNN, MS Now, and Politico. The judge ruled that the ban on these media outlets was likely unconstitutional. The Trump administration was ordered to immediately return the outlets' press passes, with a 14-day temporary restraining order in effect.\n\nThe judge rejected the government's claim that the ban was motivated by national security concerns. According to People Daily Kenya, Trump had stated that the ban was due to the outlets' \"alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity\" in their reporting.",
