Major Networks Resume Trump Coverage as CNN Regains White House Access for Xi Visit

Summary
CBS and CNN will restore the White House TV pool on Friday, putting Trump and Xi Jinping back on major U.S. television after cameras went dark during Xi’s visit.
Monday’s blackout began after the White House barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico; those outlets regained access on Thursday under a federal judge’s order.
CNN’s setup at the National Archives and a White House email with Friday shooting instructions gave the five pool networks enough assurance to end their standoff.
The networks said coverage would return with a full crew but could still be reassessed during the day, underscoring that the access dispute is not fully settled.
