Journalists from the American network CNN were denied permission to accompany President Donald Trump on a trip planned for Saturday in Tennessee, according to reports from France 24.
The exclusion comes a week after the Trump administration barred three American media outlets, including CNN, from the White House, a decision that drew sharp criticism from press freedom organizations.
Access Restored by the Courts
A judge subsequently ordered the outlets' access restored, a ruling that initially appeared to settle the dispute between the White House and the affected newsrooms.
CNN's exclusion from the presidential trip to Tennessee has, however, reignited tensions between the Trump administration and certain American media outlets, with authorities providing no explanation for the new decision.
Neither the White House nor CNN had released further details about the incident at the time of reporting, which forms part of a recurring pattern of friction between the American president and several news organizations.
