Trump accuses CNN and MSNBC of skipping Xi's White House arrival after blocking their reporters

deia.eus (Spanish) —

President Trump accused CNN and MSNOW of refusing to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at the White House, after both networks reported their journalists were blocked from the event. CNN said a reporter and producer were denied entry and told to speak with communications director Steven Cheung, despite submitting credentials a day earlier. MSNOW reporter Laura Barrón-López was also barred after receiving no response to her accreditation request. The incident follows a court order requiring the White House to restore press credentials for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, which had been revoked. The White House allowed access hours earlier before denying it again for Xi's reception.
