President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is barring CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House due to what he described as unfavorable coverage and "fake news." He also hinted that more such media bans could follow, adding to his aggressive response to media coverage he finds unfavorable. There was no immediate confirmation that he was carrying out the ban.

Simultaneously, Trump outlined a deal with Denmark to enhance the U.S. military presence in Greenland, while ensuring the island remains under Denmark's control. The agreement aims to provide permanent security control and address various U.S. concerns in the region. Trump claimed the deal would immediately kick off a process to expand the military presence on Greenland, which is rich in minerals.

Additionally, Trump revealed that all 50 states will participate in a program to offer Most Favored Nation pricing for certain drugs within the Medicaid program. The administration claims this move will lead to billions in savings on prescription drug costs. However, experts remain skeptical, as the specifics of the deals are not publicly available. Trump claimed that this move alone could secure the midterms for his party.
