Overview
- Aboard Air Force One returning from Beijing, President Trump confronted New York Times correspondent David Sanger at close range and labeled him “treasonous” and “fake.”
- Pressed on the Iran war, Trump asserted a “total military victory” and claimed Iran’s navy, air force, air defenses, radar, and top commanders were wiped out.
- He warned of further action by saying the U.S. could knock out Iran’s bridges and electrical capacity within two days.
- Reporting by Sanger’s colleagues at the Times says Iran is regaining capability, setting up a direct clash with Trump’s account, and The Independent describes the conflict as paused under a fragile ceasefire.
- Trump expanded his criticism to major outlets by calling The New York Times and CNN “the worst” and claiming Times subscribers were down, though the paper recently reported growth.
