US TV Networks Resume White House Pool Coverage After Solidarity Halt Over CNN, MS Now and Politico Exclusion

US television networks returned to covering President Donald Trump's White House events on Friday, following a court battle over the administration's exclusion of CNN, MS Now and Politico from the presidential grounds. The White House television press pool aired footage of Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival for tea and the two leaders' tour of the National Archives, which houses the US Constitution. CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC jointly fund presidential coverage and rotate pool duties, sharing footage with other outlets. When the other networks refused to set up cameras in solidarity with the barred outlets, pool coverage of Xi's Washington visit was suspended until Friday. Trump praised what he called "fair" coverage of the Xi visit as networks resumed their duties.
