White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Travel pool note #9
Motorcade is rolling from Zhongnanhai at 1.54pm. Pool did not lay eyes on POTUS.
Pool saw Bessent, Hegseth and Greer walking hastily to their vehicles a few minutes before we rolled.
Also here are the full quotes from Trump on roses in the garden earlier:
"These are the most beautiful roses anyone's ever seen ! I asked the President: 'Could you get me some for the rose garden, and he said yes. I've never seen roses so big!"
Colleagues who know say that Xi then said in Chinese:
"We will provide the president with some of our Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis) seeds, as he wants to plant some in the rose garden."

White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud @WHFraudTF - The crackdown is here.
Quote
Kelly Loeffler @SBA_Kelly
The crackdown is here. In full support and collaboration with @VP and @WHFraudTF, SBA is announcing the suspension of about 1,500 borrowers in Maine associated with $93 million in potentially fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans. Like those who were suspended in California and Minnesota, these individuals will be prohibited from receiving any further SBA support.
State by state, we’re identifying fraudsters – and ending their open season on taxpayer-funded programs.
