President Trump acknowledged the media's fair coverage during a meeting with European leaders at the White House, following a recent summit with Russian President Putin. He thanked reporters present for their work, emphasizing the importance of their fairness in reporting, especially concerning ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Trump's remarks were notably different from his typical negative rhetoric towards the press, highlighting this as a significant shift in his approach to media relations. He expressed appreciation for their role in covering the discussions held that day.
So I want to thank you all; and the media, I want to thank you. We're going to be staying here for a little while. Then, we're going to walk over to the Oval Office... But I want to thank the media's been actually very fair, generally speaking, very fair. I think it's important that they're fair because this is a very important subject.
The comments were a stark contrast to Trump's usual treatment of the press, whom he regularly blasts as the enemy of the people and has explicitly sought to undermine.
