Nashville, TN, September 25, 2026 —
The White House has indicated that CNN will not have access to travel aboard Air Force One for an upcoming trip with President Trump. The network is reportedly being replaced by a conservative outlet for this travel opportunity.
This decision represents a continuation of previous media access restrictions implemented by the administration. While a recent court ruling had temporarily reinstated access for previously banned news outlets to White House grounds, the ruling did not specifically address travel arrangements aboard the presidential aircraft.
The specific conservative outlet designated to replace CNN on the Air Force One trip was not identified in the available information. The White House’s decision to alter press pool arrangements for presidential travel highlights ongoing tensions between the administration and some media organizations. Further details regarding the selection process or specific protocols for Air Force One press access were not provided.
