Donald Trump clashed with CNN White House correspondent Kristen Holmes during an Oval Office exchange after questions about Kim Jong Un and U.S.-South Korea military exercises, highlighting tensions between the president and the press. In the video, Trump said Kim Jong Un had treated him with respect and dismissed Holmes’s inquiries about scaling back exercises with South Korea. After Holmes identified CNN as her outlet, Trump labeled it "fake news" and repeatedly told her to be quiet. He also criticized a CNN report about the USS Lincoln, calling it a "CNN fake report" and saying the ship was "beautifully maintained." The exchange added to existing criticism of his confrontations with female reporters, as noted in reactions on X.
