President Trump has banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, citing 'fake news' and unfavorable coverage, as part of his administration's test of First Amendment protections. The move could disrupt the traditional five-network press pool that follows the president.
The ban follows Trump's February 2025 decision to exclude AP journalists from Oval Office events, and comes as he pursues legal action against multiple outlets, including The New York Times and BBC. Trump's social media post warned of further media restrictions, emphasizing his frustration with what he calls 'fiction and lies' in coverage of the presidency.
South Korea has rejected Trump's call for military deployment to the Strait of Hormuz, defying U.S. pressure, while a U.S.-Denmark-Greenland deal aims to secure U.S. military presence in Greenland, addressing Trump's security concerns. The agreement, pending parliamentary approval, seeks to prevent non-NATO bases and restrict foreign military presence on the territory.
The Greenland deal, signed by three governments, recognizes Denmark's sovereignty and Greenland's self-determination, while Trump's administration pushes for expanded military presence. The pact, however, faces opposition from Denmark, Greenland, Russia, and much of Europe, highlighting unresolved tensions over the island's status and security.
