US Treasury blocks certain journalists from G20 meeting in North Carolina

The U.S. Treasury Department has denied press credentials to reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg for an upcoming G20 finance meeting scheduled to take place in North Carolina. This decision restricts these specific outlets from covering the proceedings of the international gathering.

The action is being characterized as part of a broader trend of limited media access under the administration of President Donald Trump. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that the denial of credentials is not related to the specific reporting of the affected journalists.
