President Donald Trump has announced his decision to uphold restrictions on The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences. This move comes as a response to the news outlet’s ongoing refusal to comply with certain guidelines set by the administration. The President emphasized that until the AP aligns with the specified requirements, their access will remain limited.
The Associated Press, a prominent and globally recognized news organization, has been at odds with the Trump administration over various issues in recent times. This latest development underscores the strained relationship between the two parties and the challenges faced by journalists in covering the President’s activities.
In response to this news, Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed concerns about the implications of restricting media access. He highlighted the importance of a free press in upholding transparency and accountability in governance. Khatri emphasized the need for constructive dialogue and mutual respect between the government and the media to ensure the public’s right to information is upheld.
