A tense moment unfolded outside the White House when President Donald Trump accused veteran ABC journalist John Lyons of waging a “war on the media”.
Lyons, ABC’s Americas editor, questioned the president for the broadcaster’s Four Corners programme. While Trump initially deflected, claiming his children were running his businesses, the questioning drew an angry response when Lyons pressed on whether it was appropriate for a president to be so tied to business activity.
Trump snapped back, accusing the reporter of “hurting Australia” with his tone and promising to raise the issue with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during their upcoming meeting. “You set a very bad tone,” Trump told Lyons, “you can set a nicer tone.”
