HANOI - The White House barred reporters from Reuters, the Associated Press, Bloomberg and the Los Angeles Times from covering a dinner between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday after two of them asked Trump questions during his initial interactions with Kim.
The reporters were later excluded from covering the dinner because of what White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said were “sensitivities over shouted questions in the previous sprays,” the Washington Post reported. At the conclusion of that “pool spray,” the AP’s Lemire asked Trump if he had a reaction to Cohen’s testimony due to take place later on Wednesday. With excerpts from Cohen’s prepared remarks having already been made public, Trump scowled and shook his head.After the second interaction, pool reporters returned to their work space, followed by Sanders, who voiced concern about the questions asked and announced that the third “pool spray” would be limited to photographers.
“We are continuing to negotiate aspects of this historic summit and will always work to make sure the U.S. media has as much access as possible.”
