US President Donald Trump has announced that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are being banned from the White House, marking a fresh escalation in his strained relationship with sections of the American media. Trump disclosed the decision on Truth Social on Friday, accusing the three news organisations of repeatedly publishing what he described as false information about his administration and the United States. He did not identify any particular report that prompted the action but suggested that additional media organisations could face similar restrictions. The extent of the ban and how it would be enforced were not immediately clear, and reporters from the three outlets were still on the White House grounds shortly after the announcement. The decision could also draw legal scrutiny over press access and constitutional protections afforded to news organisations.
