President Donald Trump's exchange with CNN's Kaitlan Collins outside the United Nations General Assembly occurred during his continuing conflict with news organizations over White House access. In that encounter, Trump challenged CNN's presence; Collins replied that the United Nations had allowed the network in. The dispute began when Trump announced bans on CNN, MSNOW and Politico on Sept. 18. A federal judge, Timothy Kelly, then issued a temporary restraining order requiring the administration to restore the outlets' access to the White House for at least 14 days. On Sept. 26, as Trump traveled to Tennessee for a college football game, CNN lost its place in the trip's television pool and LindellTV took its slot on Air Force One; Trump also posted on Truth Social opposing such access.
