US Treasury blocks certain journalists from G20 meeting in North Carolina
The U.S. Treasury Department is barring certain journalists from reporting on a finance gathering featuring the world's most influential countries, illustrating the Trump administration's growing restrictions on media access. The Treasury has yet to provide a reason for this decision. Some reporters, such as Jim Tankersley from The New York Times, are permitted to attend, while others like Alan Rappeport, who has covered such meetings since 2017, are denied credentials.
The Times criticized the decision, calling it "a blatant attempt to evade public scrutiny." The meeting, which runs from Saturday to Tuesday, involves finance ministers, central bank governors, and senior officials from the world's leading economies.
