A Russian government news agency, an employee of Tassz, entered the Oval Office for reporting the Trump and Zelinski meeting – while AP and Reuters journalists were excluded from this event, he wrote a CNN.
According to the White House, there was no TSS correspondent there, and as he noticed that he was removed by the head of the press from the office. The White House also said that Tass was not in the list of pre -approved cheese.
This incident is especially wonderful, as it occurred just three days after the White House took the right to choose journalists from the White House Correspondent Association (Whica), which led to the intersection of a contract of tradition.
Although the presence of a Russian journalist was a random mistake, CNA said this is a serious violation of the protocol and potential weakness. Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were banned from the meeting. AP receives permission to report the Oval Office and the surface of the first air force for two weeks because it continues to use the term “Mexican Gulf” in addition to the term “Gulf”.
This is not the first time that the Trump administration has communicated with the Russian government media. Indeed in 2017, he had a scandal when Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov behind closed doors, but photographer can only take the event, while American journalists were completely excluded.
