US Treasury blocks certain journalists from G20 meeting in North Carolina
The Treasury gave no explanation as major outlets said the move limits coverage of a meeting on war, sanctions, bonds and inflation.
- The Treasury Department denied press credentials to reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News for the G20 Finance Ministers meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, which began Sunday.
- Escalating tensions between President Donald Trump's administration and the media have intensified restrictions on access; earlier this year, the Defense Department declared its press office a classified space, forcing most outlets to leave.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed in an interview Sunday the decision had "nothing to do with point of view," yet the department offered no public explanation for rejecting the credential requests.
- The Times called the move "a blatant attempt to evade public scrutiny," while Bloomberg stated it "undermines media freedom and public accountability"; The German Finance Ministry successfully lobbied for one Times reporter but failed for Bloomberg.
- With Iran sanctions, the war in Iran, and rising US national debt—which hit more than US$40 trillion this month—dominating the agenda, Bessent will use the summit to push G20 finance ministers toward compliance with US sanctions.
