President Trump's ban on The Associated Press appears to have softened temporarily when an AP reporter was allowed into an East Room event. However, this was short-lived, and by evening, the White House announced stricter access rules, excluding AP from a guaranteed wire service spot in the press pool. This decision limits the coverage capability of AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg, reflecting ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and prominent media outlets.
The wire services might be included in a daily pool, but they are no longer guaranteed, which diminishes their access considerably.
CNN's Brian Stelter reported that an AP reporter was briefly allowed into an event, marking a momentary softening of Trump's ban.
