'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran, and based on his recent post—which was a clear violation of ABC News policies—we have made the decision to not renew,' a statement from ABC read.
The network continued, "At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.'
In an X post that was soon deleted, Moran called Trump and his senior White House advisor, Miller, 'world-class haters."
'The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,' he wrote on the social media platform. "Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualized the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translate them into policy.'
His message continued, 'It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater.'
Moran worked for ABC for 28 years before his firing; in late April, he led a one-on-one interview with the POTUS.

China appears to downplay US trade deal Trump said was 'done'
HONG KONG and LONDON -- A spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday appeared to downplay what President Donald Trump said Wednesday was a "done" trade deal addressing export restrictions on rare earths and semiconductors. Speaking at a press conference, the spokesperson characterized the outcome of this week's trade negotiations in London as a "framework" to consolidate what was agreed to at negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, in May. This week's talks in the U.K. represented the "first meeting," the spokesperson said. The spokesperson did not offer further details on what was agreed this week, telling reporters, "New progress was also made in addressing each side's trade concerns." On rare earths, the spokesperson said China would issue export licenses based on "reasonable needs" and noted that "compliant applications have already been approved." Trump on Wednesday framed the talks as having reached a deal. "Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me," Trump said on Truth Social, adding that the relationship between the world's two leading economic powerhouses was "excellent." Trump said that the U.S. would get "a total of 55% tariffs" with China's tariffs set at 10%. Trump added, "Full magnets and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China. Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!)." MORE: Trump says China trade deal 'done,' but subject to 'final approval' Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick referred to the agreement as a "handshake for a framework." Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping will now have to approve the framework, Lutnick said. That step would appear to mean there were some concessions that both leaders did not give their negotiating teams authority to negotiate away. "Once that's done, we will be back on the phone together and we will begin to implement this agreement," Lutnick said. "The two largest economies in the world have reached a handshake for framework." ABC News' Kevin Shalvey and Britt Clennett contributed to this report. China appears to downplay US trade deal Trump said was 'done' originally appeared on

ABC News fires Terry Moran days after veteran anchor's social media outburst at Trump aide Stephen Miller
ABC News on Tuesday fired veteran correspondent Terry Moran – two days after his social media rant targeted President Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the company said. Moran, 65, was suspended by the Disney-owned network on Sunday following his early-morning tirade on X in which he called Miller a 'world class hater.' 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' an ABC News spokesperson told The Post. 'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.' Moran's contract was up this Friday, a source with knowledge told The Post. A journalist with Moran's experience — namely a senior-level correspondent who has covered the White House and co-anchored 'Nightline' — likely makes between $600,000 and $900,000 a year, another source said. The decision to boot Moran comes on the heels of an exclusive report by The Post on Monday that ABC News staffers were 'pissed' at the damage his outburst did to the network's already-battered reputation. Several called for his head, insiders said. Vice President JD Vance and Miller also criticized the unhinged attack. Moran, who joined ABC News in 1997, wrote that Miller is 'one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy,' and operates not on 'brains' but on 'bile.' He added that Miller was 'a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.' Moran's diatribe, which he has since deleted, had been condemned by ABC News executives for lacking 'objectivity and impartiality.' Moran had landed an interview with Trump in April as controversy over the administration's tariff policies swirled. ABC News sources griped to The Post that Moran had undermined the inroads that the network had been trying to make with the Trump administration. Debra OConnell, president of ABC News Group and Networks, Disney Entertainment, and other company execs have taken trips to West Palm Beach, Fla., and held meetings with Trump officials, a source with knowledge said. One such meeting took place in December, shortly after Disney paid $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit against the network over Stephanopoulos for saying Trump was found guilty of raping E. Jean Carroll. A New York court had found Trump guilty of sexual assault — not rape, a key legal difference — in the civil case. Trump has denied wrongdoing in that case.
