And the ban is already being enforced.
MS NOW, CNN and POLITICO said its journalists were denied access to White House grounds this morning.
Both all three outlets say they plan to continue reporting despite the restrictions.

POLITICO will continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them.
The claims that POLITICO received government subsidies are false and have been thoroughly debunked.
Breaking: Trump says he will ban reporters from POLITICO, CNN and MS NOW from the White House.

The EU launched its diplomatic arm in 2011, hoping to end cacophony in foreign policy. A noble enterprise - but also a failure. Europe cannot achieve its aims in Ukraine or the M-E. The main reason, per multiple diplos: "It's the veto, stupid" - unanimity is not fit for the times
The EU’s inability to act in unison is exposing a systemic paralysis, nine diplomats, officials, lawmakers and experts told POLITICO.
