The White House had invited CNN, among other media outlets, to attend the annual event.

“In light of the President’s continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as invited guests,” a CNN spokesperson told The Hill.

“We will send a White House reporting team to the event and report on it if news warrants.”

Trump has repeatedly attacked CNN, most recently claiming that the network represents the U.S. “poorly” to the rest of the world.

The network fired back, saying that it was it was Trump’s job to represent the country, not CNN’s.

Earlier this year, Trump also tweeted a video portraying himself in wrestling match with a figure whose face was obscured by CNN’s logo.
