Trump Gets Off Plane in China with Surprise Guest Behind Him — China Is NOT Happy description: This is big. image
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is one of several business executives accompanying President Donald Trump on Air Force One as he travels to Beijing for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Fox News host Sean Hannity is also on the flight, as is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was not included on the original guest list and joined as a last-minute addition during a refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska.
Trump confirmed in a post on Truth Social that Huang was aboard Air Force One.
The US president also mentioned several other executives who were part of the official trip, including Tim Cook from Apple, Larry Fink from BlackRock, Stephen Schwarzman from Blackstone, Kelly Ortberg from Boeing, Brian Sikes from Cargill, Jane Fraser from Citigroup, Larry Culp from GE Aerospace, David Solomon from Goldman Sachs, Sanjay Mehrotra from Micron, and Cristiano Amon from Qualcomm.
Trump also noted in his Truth Social post that the first thing he would bring up with Xi is to “open up” China to American businesses, and that a CNBC story claiming that Huang was not included in the business leader entourage was wrong.
CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China. In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC’s reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS!
It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to “open up” China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level!
In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request. I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries!
Trade, Taiwan, the Iran war, and artificial intelligence are expected to be the main topics of discussion during the upcoming meeting, as officials from both sides have spent months negotiating the details in preparation.
Trump first announced his plans to visit China during his meeting with Xi at the Busan summit in South Korea on October 30.
Beijing has indicated that it will prioritize U.S. policy on Taiwan during the talks, while Trump is expected to advocate for progress on trade and the security of the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports.
Air Force One landed in Beijing, China, at approximately 7:51 a.m. ET (Wednesday morning U.S. time and Thursday morning in China) at Beijing Capital International Airport. The plane taxied for about eight minutes before the doors opened for the official red-carpet arrival.
President Donald Trump deplaned at 8:08 a.m. ET and was greeted by Chinese Vice President H.E. Han Zheng, U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. H.E. Xie Feng, and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs H.E. Ma Zhaoxu.
Following Trump were his son Eric and daughter-in-law Lara Trump, along with a number of other passengers, including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who did not respond to questions and immediately entered a limousine to head to his hotel.
The welcoming ceremony featured approximately 300 Chinese youth, a military honor guard, and a military band. “Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!” the children chanted in Chinese.
Ilhan Omar Arrested - Refused to Leave and Fought Police
Minneapolis, Minnesota - June 16, 2026
Newly released police records show that Rep. Ilhan Omar was arrested for trespassing in 2013 after refusing multiple orders to leave a Minneapolis hotel lobby. According to the Hennepin County police report, Omar became argumentative with officers and physically resisted when police attempted to escort her from the premises.
The incident occurred on January 18, 2013, after an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center featuring former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Large crowds followed the presidential convoy to the Hotel Ivy, where the president was staying. Hotel staff requested police assistance to clear the lobby, stating that only guests with room keys were permitted to remain.
When an officer approached Omar and asked her to leave, she refused. The report states that Omar was “argumentative” and stood her ground.
“As she stood her ground and refused to leave, I took hold of her left elbow to escort her from the lobby. Omar then pulled away from me, stating, ‘Don’t put your hands on me!’” the officer wrote.
Ten minutes later, the same officer found Omar seated in another area of the lobby. After being informed she would be arrested for trespassing if she did not leave, Omar again refused to comply.
The officer attempted to handcuff her while she remained seated in a chair. Omar pulled away during the arrest. She was ultimately booked into Hennepin County Jail.
“Omar was booked at [Hennepin County Jail] as I felt it was likely that she would fail to respond to a citation, and she also demonstrated that she was going to continue her criminal behavior,” the officer wrote in the report.
The newly surfaced document adds to the long list of controversies surrounding the Minnesota congresswoman.
Hannah Dugan Sentenced to 10 Years: Ex-Judge Helped Undocumented Immigrant Flee ICE in Court
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — June 16, 2026
THE SENTENCING HEARING for former Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan has been postponed indefinitely as a federal court takes under advisement a high-stakes defense motion aimed at completely overturning her felony conviction.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman opted to halt the scheduled June 3, 2026 proceedings to consider extensive oral arguments regarding recent appellate case law and procedural standards that could render the baseline foundation of the government's case legally invalid.
Dugan, 67, faces a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison following a split verdict delivered by a federal jury in December 2025. The panel found her guilty of one felony count of obstructing an official federal proceeding but acquitted her on a misdemeanor charge of concealing an individual from arrest.
The criminal charges stem from a highly controversial April 18, 2025 incident inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and an undocumented immigrant.
"The defense maintains that the administrative execution of a standard immigration warrant does not meet the strict statutory definitions of an official federal proceeding required under obstruction laws."
The structural trial evidence demonstrated that ICE agents arrived at the county courthouse to detain Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national who had re-entered the United States illegally and was appearing before Dugan on a state misdemeanor battery matter.
According to official court testimony, Dugan confronted the agents outside her courtroom door, informing them that their administrative paperwork did not authorize a summary arrest within her state court facility. She then directed the officers to the chief judge's office before utilizing a private jury exit corridor to escort Flores-Ruiz and his defense attorney safely out of the building.
Agents remaining in the immediate vicinity observed the departure and apprehended Flores-Ruiz outside the municipal facility following a short foot chase.
Dugan resigned from her judicial seat shortly after the split jury verdict was finalized. While many legal observers originally anticipated a multi-year prison sentence if the felony conviction stood, first-time nonviolent offenders can alternatively receive probation or non-custodial outcomes depending on judicial discretion.
"The prosecution continues to push back forcefully against the request for a new trial, maintaining that the jury’s original verdict rested on sufficient, verified evidence and correctly applied federal law."
The case has commanded national attention from legal scholars as an unprecedented early test of a state court judge facing criminal prosecution for actions intersecting with federal immigration enforcement. The ongoing dispute has exposed deep rifts over the absolute authority of state jurists, courthouse safe-haven policies, and the true legal boundaries of domestic judicial discretion.
Judge Adelman did not issue an immediate ruling from the bench following the conclusion of oral arguments, stating that a comprehensive written order will follow. Consequently, the former judge's sentencing remains on hold until the court determines whether the underlying felony conviction will stand or be permanently vacated.
Maxine Waters Gets Huge Dose Of Her Own Medicine After Making Snide Remark About Speaker Candidate Jim Jordan O
Washington, D.C. - June 16, 2026
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) was loudly shouted down on the House floor Tuesday after labeling Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) an “insurrectionist” during debate over the next Speaker of the House. The outburst came as Jordan faced a difficult first ballot for the speakership.
Waters voiced support for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries before directing her remarks at Jordan. Republican members immediately drowned out her comments with shouts of opposition. One unnamed Republican was heard saying, “Huh? What did the Communist say?”
Jordan responded to the attack with a smirk but did not engage directly. The incident highlighted the sharp partisan tensions surrounding the Speaker election.
Jordan fell 17 votes short of the 217 needed to win on the first ballot Tuesday. All Democrats supported Jeffries, while several Republicans voted for other candidates. The House is scheduled to hold another vote on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET.
Jordan told reporters late Tuesday that he remains committed to securing the gavel without forming a coalition government with Democrats. “We’re gonna keep going,” he said. “No one in our conference wants to see any type of coalition government with Democrats. So we’re going to keep working, and we’re going to get to the votes.”
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) told Fox News that she will continue supporting Jordan and believes momentum is building in his favor. She said anyone claiming to know exactly what will happen next is “full of it.”
The Wall Street Journal editorial board issued a sharp rebuke of the House Republican conference Tuesday night, criticizing the eight members who removed former Speaker Kevin McCarthy for failing to have a clear plan or alternative candidate.
Jordan has stated that one of his first priorities as Speaker would be to ensure Israel receives all necessary support in its war against Hamas. He said he would work with House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul and the Senate on a resolution backing the Jewish state.
