Trump Says He Is Banning CNN and Politico From White House
President cites ongoing tensions with the two outlets amid a broader fraught relationship with the US media since his return to office
US President Donald Trump said he is banning CNN and Politico from the White House, according to a report by BBC News.
The announcement comes amid what BBC News described as a "tense and fiery relationship" between Trump and the US media since he returned to office.
Details on the specific reasons for the ban and how it would be implemented were not immediately available. Neither CNN nor Politico had issued a public response at the time of reporting.
The move follows a pattern of friction between the Trump administration and news organisations it has accused of unfair or biased coverage. Both CNN and Politico have previously reported extensively on the administration's policies and internal matters, often drawing criticism from the president.
This report is based on information from BBC News. Further details on the scope of the ban and any response from the affected outlets were not available at the time of publication.
