Donald Trump’s high-stakes China summit has taken another dramatic turn, this time over technology and surveillance fears. Reports reveal the U.S. President was forced to stop using his beloved personal cellphone during the Beijing visit as White House officials imposed a strict “digital lockdown” to protect sensitive data from hackers.
