What did President Trump say about his meeting with Chinese President Xi?
They had a great meeting. Elisa Brady, Fox News. That's President Trump's take on his White House meeting with China's president, who was greeted with pomp and ceremony.
The red carpet was rolled out as military bands welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife for a multi-day state visit.
President Xi and I have forged a friendship, a truly great friendship, actually, built on mutual respect and the vital interests of our people.
President Trump has signaled a robust agenda over tariffs and trade, Iran in the war in Ukraine, as well as the high-tech sector and AI. Xi says the two countries should coexist in peace and both will lose in confrontation. He also announced a pair of pandas will soon arrive at the zoo in Atlanta, calling them an envoy of friendship.
How did China’s state news agency address Iran and Taiwan issues?
Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House. China's state news agency is reporting that on Iran, she urged resolving issues through negotiation, and on Taiwan, offered hope the U.S. will adhere to the correct position of opposing independence. No official word yet from the White House on their discussions. One of the two Ole Miss students who died earlier this week is now identified as 20-year-old Robert Strang from Atlanta, found dead in an off-campus home.
His family's lawyer says they are heartbroken by the loss of their dear son. They're trying to process the unimaginable, and they're asking for privacy as they grieve their young son. Now, we do not have confirmation about the other victim, an 18-year-old who died in one of the all-boys dorms here on campus at Ole Miss.
What are the details surrounding the Ole Miss student death and family response?
We know Sorbot Kratom was found at both of the scenes. However, officials do not believe these deaths are connected right now. They don't know if Kratom is what killed them.

A Philadelphia teacher who's been an anti-Israel activist admits
lying about her heritage. Hannah Gann often claimed she was both black and Palestinian.
Why did Philadelphia teacher Hannah Gann admit to falsifying her heritage?
A Philadelphia Inquirer article claims the teacher is neither, reporting Gann is white and Jewish. In an Instagram video, Gann confirmed she misled others, calling herself a white woman of significant privilege and wealth. She also said no one, family, friends or co-workers knew she was doing it. The Inquirer is also reporting fellow activists urge Philadelphia schools to hold her accountable for the deception. A spokesperson for the district said it is aware of an employee's outside advocacy and is supporting students who may be affected by what's been reported. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
The school district has not confirmed any potential disciplinary action. Just getting word of a deadly accident on a lake as a boat was heading from Tanzania to Congo.
What happened in the lake disaster between Tanzania and Congo?
It capsized, killing at least 41 people, more than 40 others rescued, with a search ongoing for remaining passengers. An unusual contraband scheme at a jail in Louisiana believed to involve cleaning chemicals, a homemade lighter, and Bible pages.
Eleven inmates at the Evangeline Paris jail are accused of tearing pages from Bibles and rolling them into makeshift cigarettes soaked with cleaning chemicals and other substances. Deputies say they discovered the scheme after inmates stumbled out of a dorm bathroom and officers smelled burning paper. Investigators say the inmates even built a makeshift lighter using batteries, a magnet, a metal plate, and a staple. The sheriff says some of the accused were attending ministry classes at the jail, though he now questions whether faith was their only motivation for showing up. All 11 now face felony charges as the investigation continues.
