WHCA slams White House for excluding WSJ from Scotland trip over coverage
The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) has strongly condemned the White House's decision to remove the Wall Street Journal from the travelling press pool for the upcoming Scotland trip, citing concerns over the publication's editorial content. President Trump is visiting his ancestral home in Scotland from July 25 to 29, with stops in Aberdeen and Turnberry, according to CBS News. In an on-the-record statement, WHCA said, "This attempt by the White House to punish a media outlet whose coverage it does not like is deeply troubling, and it defies the First Amendment. Government retaliation against news outlets based on the content of their reporting should concern all who value free speech and an independent media." WHCA President Weijia Jiang assured colleagues that upon learning about the decision, she directly communicated that the WHCA "strongly objects and finds the move unacceptable." She added that efforts are underway to clarify whether this removal is a one-time action or if the White House plans to exclude the Wall Street Journal from all pool rotations, which could impact planning for many media outlets. "As of this writing, that remains unclear. I will share updates as I receive them," she said. Jiang also encouraged members to reach out with any questions or concerns. The move follows The Journal's publication of a Thursday article revealing a lewd birthday note sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The note included a drawing of a nude woman and ended with the message, "Happy Birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret," according to The Washington Post. The paper was allegedly signed by Trump. The White House described the drawing and letter as fake and said it had pressured The Journal not to publish the article. Following the publication, a lawsuit was filed against The Journal's publisher, Dow Jones, its parent company, News Corp, CEO Robert Thomson, Rupert Murdoch, and two Journal reporters, The Washington Post reported. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, "Thirteen diverse outlets will participate in the press pool to cover the President's trip to Scotland. Due to The Wall Street Journal's fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the 13 outlets on board," according to The Washington Post. A Wall Street Journal spokeswoman declined to comment, while Dow Jones defended its reporting last week, stating, "We have full confidence in the rigour and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit," as per The Washington Post. The press pool, comprising journalists from various outlets who travel with the President and serve as the eyes and ears of the broader White House press corps, has faced increasing pressure from the Trump administration. This includes the administration taking over the role of deciding which publications may participate, a shift previously managed by the Correspondents' Association, as noted by The Washington Post. Earlier, the White House had also barred The Associated Press from the press pool over its refusal to use the administration's preferred name change for the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting ongoing tensions with certain media outlets, The Washington Post added.

Trump-Netanyahu rift? US President ‘caught off guard' by Israeli strikes in Gaza and Syria — Explained
US President Donald Trump was reportedly caught off guard by Israeli military actions in Gaza and Syria last week, prompting urgent phone calls to Tel Aviv, admonishing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the White House. The episodes highlight what insiders describe as a growing tension in a rather complicated relationship between Donald trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. One particular flashpoint came after Israeli forces struck the only Catholic Church in Gaza last Thursday — a move that drew immediate condemnation from President Trump. Trump personally phoned Netanyahu to express his anger and insisted the Israeli leader issue a public statement labelling the strike a mistake. The US president was equally surprised by Israeli airstrikes on Syrian government buildings in Damascus, carried out at a sensitive time when his administration is actively working to rebuild the war-torn nation. 'The president enjoys a good working relationship with Bibi Netanyahu, and stays in frequent communication with him. He was caught off guard by the bombing in Syria and also the bombing of a Catholic Church in Gaza,' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday. 'In both accounts, the president quickly called the prime minister to rectify those situations,' she added. On 21 July, a White House official speaking to Axios bluntly criticised Netanyahu's aggressive military tactics. 'Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time. This could undermine what Trump is trying to do,' the official said. Another senior aide revealed that Trump rang Netanyahu for an explanation following the church bombing. 'The feeling is that every day there is something new. What the f*?**' Axios quoted the official as saying. Leavitt pointed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's efforts to ease tensions in Syria, where the Trump administration has lifted sanctions and thrown its support behind newly installed president, former rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa. Despite being long-time allies, sources familiar with Trump and Netanyahu's relationship describe it as complicated, often marked by mutual distrust and personal distance. Trump had hosted Netanyahu at the White House earlier this month, hoping the visit would produce a breakthrough on a Gaza ceasefire — one that would also secure the release of hostages held by Hamas and allow increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. Netanyahu's dramatic gesture during a White House dinner, presenting Trump with a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, appeared to signal strengthening ties. Yet, Netanyahu left Washington without announcing a deal. Now, nearly a week after mediators submitted the latest ceasefire proposal to Hamas, all parties are still awaiting a response, according to sources cited by CNN. Hamas released a statement on Monday saying they are 'exerting all our efforts and energies around the clock' to finalise an agreement on a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release. With the Gaza conflict intensifying and civilian deaths rising — including three fatalities in the church bombing — Trump is reportedly watching developments with increasing concern. 'The president's message on this conflict we've seen in the Middle East taking place for far too long, that has become quite brutal, especially in recent days, you've seen reports of more people dying. I think the president never likes to see that. He wants the killing to end,' Leavitt said. Leavitt praised the administration's role in facilitating humanitarian aid into Gaza, amid criticism from 25 Western foreign ministers who accused Israel of 'drip feeding' relief supplies. The Gaza Health Ministry reported over 1,000 deaths linked to desperate efforts by civilians to obtain aid since late May. 'The president is the reason that aid is even being distributed in Gaza at all,' Leavitt asserted. 'He wants to see this done in a peaceful manner, where more lives are not being lost.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt further defended Donald Trump's record, saying: 'It's a very difficult and complicated situation that the president inherited because of the weakness of the last administration. And I think he should be applauded,' she stated. 'The president wants to see peace and he's been pretty clear on that.'

Trump deploys more immigration agents to NYC after migrant shoots officer
The Trump administration will send additional immigration agents to New York, blaming the city's sanctuary policies for a shooting by an undocumented migrant that left an off-duty federal customs officer seriously wounded. The announcement, delivered by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from One World Trade Center on Monday, marked an escalation in the administration's efforts to assert federal control in Democratic-led cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. The shooting occurred Saturday night near the George Washington Bridge, where an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer was sitting with a friend along the Hudson River. Police said that two men approached on a scooter and one opened fire. The officer returned fire but was shot in the face and arm. A suspect, 21-year-old Miguel Mora, was also wounded and taken to a hospital. Noem said Mora, a Dominican national, entered the US illegally in 2023 and was under a deportation order issued in November. He had been arrested four times on charges including assault, grand larceny and armed robbery, and was wanted in cases in New York and Massachusetts. 'This didn't have to happen. It was because of sanctuary city policies and failed leadership,' Noem said. Jay Clayton, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Mora would be charged in Manhattan federal court. A second suspect was arrested on Monday, while the federal officer remains hospitalized and is expected to recover. New York's 'sanctuary' laws, passed in 2014 and 2017, bar city agencies including police from carrying out most civil deportation actions unless the individual has been convicted of one or more of 170 serious crimes — including homicide, rape and robbery — within the past five years. It's one of several major US cities — along with Los Angeles, Chicago and others — that have adopted so-called sanctuary policies restricting local law enforcement from assisting in most federal immigration actions. The Trump administration has vowed to crack down on those jurisdictions — even sending the California National Guard and Marines into LA — arguing that such policies endanger public safety and undermine federal law. Mayor Eric Adams defended the city's approach Sunday, saying it follows state law. 'Here in New York City, our laws are clear on what we can do and what we can't do,' Adams said. 'We will always coordinate with our partners going after dangerous individuals.' The Trump administration sees the matter differently. Tom Homan, the administration's border czar, said the city's refusal to let federal officers to make jail-based arrests has forced US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct higher-risk operations in neighborhoods. 'You don't want to let us in the jails to arrest a bad guy in the safety and security of a jail,' Homan said. 'You want to release him into the street, which makes it unsafe for the alien, because anything can happen in an on-street arrest. 'So what are we gonna do?' he added. 'We're gonna put more agents in New York City to look for that bad guy. So sanctuary cities get exactly what they don't want: more agents in the community.' The enforcement expansion is backed by $150 billion in new federal funding approved as part of a broader immigration and border security initiative. The package includes money to hire 10,000 additional officers and expand detention capacity nationwide.
