Trump Says He Is Banning CNN and Politico From White House

US President Donald Trump has said he is banning CNN and Politico from the White House. Both organisations are well-known American media companies.

The move comes amid a long and difficult relationship between Trump and the US press. Since returning to office, he has often criticised journalists and news outlets.

The White House is normally home to a large group of reporters who cover the president's daily activities. They rely on access to the building to ask questions and report on government decisions.

It is not yet clear exactly how the ban will work, or how long it will last. Neither CNN nor Politico has given a detailed public response so far.

Trump has frequently accused parts of the media of being unfair or biased against him. He has described some coverage as false or misleading, though he has not always given evidence for these claims.

This is not the first time a US president has clashed with journalists, but Trump's approach has been especially confrontational. Press freedom groups often watch such moves closely, as they can affect how the public receives information about government actions.

The tension between Trump and the media is likely to continue, as both sides have shown little sign of backing down. For now, the practical effects of the ban on daily White House reporting remain uncertain.
