Donald Trump Announces Ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House Access
The U.S. president declared he wants to bar these news outlets "with immediate effect," accusing them of spreading misinformation, and threatened to extend the measure to other media organizations.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to bar "with immediate effect" CNN and MS NOW, as well as Politico, from White House access, according to reports cited by Le Monde.
The American head of state characterized these news outlets as "spreaders of misinformation," citing this as justification for the announced measure.
According to the same sources, Donald Trump warned that other media organizations could face a similar ban in the future, though he did not specify which ones or detail the criteria that would be applied for future decisions.
The practical details of this ban, as well as any potential reactions from the targeted media or other American political figures, have not been clarified in the information available at this stage.
This announcement comes in a context of recurring tensions between the Trump administration and portions of the American press, which the president regularly accuses of bias against him.
