China has formally invited U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing for a summit with Xi Jinping, according to the Financial Times. However, progress in talks on trade and fentanyl makes a Beijing summit less likely, with a potential meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in South Korea on October 31 being considered. The invitation follows multiple high-level meetings between U.S. and Chinese officials. Separately, a report detailed the organization of small cells of radical transgender individuals who are reportedly training to commit acts of "left wing" terrorism, according to a source on X. These cells, described as a "tiny, fringe sliver" of the trans community, are allegedly acquiring weapons and training. Accelerationist provocateurs are reportedly involved in the organizing and radicalization of some of these cells, with the ultimate goal of inciting political infighting. This development follows previous reports from September 14th, 2025, indicating Senator Lindsey Graham's view that recent events are an "attack on the movement and not just traditional political violence." Additionally, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade issued an apology for a "callous" remark. Utah Governor Spencer Cox described current events as a "direct assault on America," and Senator James Lankford reported 14,000 threats against members of Congress this calendar year.
