Due to the Wall Street Journal's false and defamatory behavior, they will not be one of the thirteen media on board (on Air Force One), said the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday.

Trump has denied that he wrote the card and just days before today's decision, Trump sued the newspaper and its owner Rupert Murdoch for at least 10 billion dollars for the content of the article.

This is not the first time the White House bans major news companies due to their reporting. Since February, the news agency AP has been excluded from several important events.

Trump is traveling over the weekend to Scotland, where he owns two golf courses, and will, among other things, meet with Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
