What Trump said after getting angry at a CNN reporter at the UN
Bangla Press Desk: US President Donald Trump rebuked CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins for covering his presence at the United Nations General Assembly session.
A verbal exchange took place between them regarding this matter on Tuesday (September 22) at the UN headquarters in New York.
Previously, the Trump administration had revoked the White House access and briefing participation privileges of journalists from CNN and two other major media outlets.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Kaitlan Collins as a "third-rate reporter." He questioned why journalists were criticizing his presence at the UN General Assembly press room.
Earlier, at the UN headquarters, Collins asked Trump when the war with Iran would end. In response, Trump said, "You shouldn't be here covering me. You said you wouldn't cover me."
Collins replied that the UN had independently granted her and CNN permission to cover the high-level debates of the 81st General Assembly.
Later, in another social media post, Trump stated that the media has an "addiction" to his presidency. He also described media personnel as "sick, treacherous, and twisted."
The Trump administration's decision to revoke press access affected journalists from Politico and MSNBC alongside CNN; their permission to work within the White House complex and attend briefings was cancelled.
The media outlets have filed lawsuits against this decision. This legal battle regarding executive power and freedom of the press is ongoing in Washington.
