Trump Enforces Ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico

On September 18, US President Donald Trump announced a ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, intensifying his long-standing dispute with American media organizations regarding their coverage of his administration. Trump made the announcement via a post on his Truth Social platform, where he accused the three outlets of consistently reporting what he termed "FAKE NEWS" about him, his administration, and the United States.

He expressed that media outlets should not be allowed to "constantly write or report FICTION and LIES" when covering the President or his administration. Trump also indicated that other media organizations might face similar bans, stating, "Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow." This action follows a notable dispute between his administration and the Associated Press in 2025.
