Trump joins the list of "press predators" by Reporters Without Borders

Donald Trump has been added to the Reporters Without Borders list of "press predators" due to his attacks on journalism and restrictions on media professionals. The 2026 annual list includes other leaders like Vladimir Putin and Daniel Ortega, who have also suppressed press freedom. Since Trump's second term began in January 2025, his actions against the press have escalated, resulting in a drop in the U.S. press freedom ranking. The report highlights various threats to journalists, including military forces and tech giants that undermine independent media. Other notable figures on the list include Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Argentine President Javier Milei, both accused of attacking critical media.
