White House Imposes New Restrictions on Journalists’ Access to Press Offices

Washington D.C.: The White House has announced new restrictions on journalists’ entry into its press offices, tightening access to senior officials and staff.

According to international media reports, journalists will no longer be allowed to enter the offices of the Press Secretary or other top officials without prior permission. Under the new policy, access to the “Upper Press Room” will only be granted through scheduled appointments.

The official statement clarified that the decision takes immediate effect and aims to enhance the protection of sensitive information within the presidential premises.

This move follows a similar measure introduced at the Pentagon last month, marking the second major restriction on media access to key U.S. government departments in recent weeks.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has criticized India’s imposition of a 100 percent tariff on U.S. agricultural products, calling it unfair.

Leavitt further highlighted that the European Union has imposed a 50 percent tariff on U.S. dairy products, Japan has a 700 percent tariff on U.S. rice, and Canada has a 300 percent tariff on U.S. butter and cheese.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the tariffs set to take effect on April 2 will be significant, and he has stated that these tariffs will mark an important turning point for the U.S. economy.
