White House excludes reporters from Trump-Kim dinner after they asked questions

HANOI - The White House barred reporters from Reuters, the Associated Press and Bloomberg 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.

Reporters in the pool regularly shout out questions to leaders and on Wednesday they asked Trump about the summit and the testimony in Congress of his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, in two separate opportunities known as “pool sprays.” Reporters were then escorted out of the room. Shortly thereafter they were brought back in to listen while Trump and Kim, seated this time, visited.

“Due to the sensitive nature of the meetings we have limited the pool for the dinner to a smaller group, but ensured that representation of photographers, tv, radio and print Poolers are all in the room,” Sanders said in a written statement.

jeffmason1 Trump’s answer to NK refusing to give up their nukes is 'ok you can have them, and we will declare peace'. It's confirmed. That's the deal Trump reached.

jeffmason1 Two Gaga man's .....

jeffmason1 Those are normal and good questions. If the plan is to spin everything then you wouln’t want those questions.

jeffmason1 Appalling that he continues to suppress press freedom - and continues these shady meetings with global dictators.

jeffmason1 The Press pool will just be FAUX news then. When Reuters gets shut out you know you're in a bad place.

jeffmason1 I can understand the White House barring reporters from dinner. They must be afraid of coverage of who burps first and possibly chokes on a piece of pork. (tongue firmly in cheek and not a beef tongue either)

jeffmason1 I'm shocked he isn't allowing the press to cover the dinner!

jeffmason1 This is a sensitive summit. Reporters cannot just keep hollering out and demanding attention.

jeffmason1 Kim needs no lime light, he needs accountability now!

jeffmason1 What kind of personal deals is he making behind backs?

jeffmason1 and then they criticize Venezuela government for doing the same in their country.

jeffmason1 Is this illegal POTUS making deals with another adversarial fascist government? Why? Is he a Manchurian candidate? Who does Trump really work for?

jeffmason1 Two penny-ante dictators trying to appear like more than they are....

jeffmason1 This creepy orange face seems scared...

jeffmason1 If this wasn't so horrifying it'd be hilarious

jeffmason1 Looks scared.

jeffmason1 Is this a surprise? realDonaldTrump our autocrat wannabe only knows how to surrender and knuckle under to real autocrats.

jeffmason1 Two freaks!

jeffmason1 He's a mess

jeffmason1 And THAT ladies & gentlemen is how a despot defeats a sitting US president

jeffmason1 Is this socialism? WH is banging the reporters is this Maduro or Trump Should we ask China to intervine and take trump off power with any option on the table ?

jeffmason1 What has Trump got to hide? Perhaps Trump does not want reporters asking him about Cohen. Or perhaps Trump will stumble if asked how the denuclearization talks are going. Keeping the public in the dark is always a red flag.

jeffmason1 He's only going to 'F' this up. We're going to find out how bad when he gets back.

jeffmason1 Everyone can answer that question, if that wasn’t clear: he wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

jeffmason1 When did corporate propagandist become a synonym for reporter?

jeffmason1 No one's paying attention, because 1) we know Kim Jong Un has absolutely NO interest in denuclearizing, and 2) we're all enthralled by Michael Cohen's shocking testimony against trump.

jeffmason1 Another Helsinki?

jeffmason1 Eller

jeffmason1 Damn important Questions!

White House limits journalists at Trump-Kim dinner over 'sensitivities' to shouted questionsIn a statement to the press pool, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said there would be limited room for journalists at the dinner “due to the sensitive nature of the meetings." Yes, how about when two leaders of a country get together you don't shout and yell. It is pretty simple. They think they have it bad in America (they don't). Kim would literally have you killed if you did that to him in NK. Outrageous. Where is the outcry from all the so-called “patriots” in the GOP? Party Tribalism will be America’s undoing. In other words, Putin’s showing up and the idiot in chief doesn’t want anyone to know?
