Less than an hour later, the White House blocked several reporters from attending the next media availability between Trump and Kim. Thanks to a show of press solidarity, the White House opened up access a little bit. Sanders said in a statement that the White House "ensured that representation of photographers, tv, radio and print Poolers are all in the room." "The AP decries such efforts by the White House to restrict access to the president," the news service said. "It is critically important that any president uphold American press freedom standards, not only at home but especially while abroad."
