Trump Used Secure Device, Not Personal Phone, During China Visit

U.S. President Donald Trump did not use his personal mobile phone during his visit to China due to concerns about hacking and information leaks. Security concerns were high, with items provided by China reportedly being discarded.

At the Great Hall of the People, where the summit was held, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Pruitt was reportedly denied entry for not wearing his identification badge.

While the leaders' schedules were underway, the U.S. press corps was kept in a separate waiting room and faced restrictions on their movements and bathroom usage.
