Trump Interrupts Reporter During Oval Office Event Over North Korea QuestionsPreviousNext

During an Oval Office event honoring lifeguard Ryder Williams, President Donald Trump sharply interrupted a CNN reporter who questioned him about his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the reduction of US military exercises with South Korea. Trump repeatedly told the reporter to be quiet, called her "fake news," and defended his ties with Kim as improving regional safety. The White House criticized the reporter for raising unrelated issues during the event, emphasizing the focus on the young hero.
