The ABC has been excluded from attending Donald Trump’s press conference near London this week, days after a public clash between the broadcaster’s Americas editor, John Lyons, and the president in Washington DC over his business dealings.
Both Downing Street and the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in the UK, which liaises with overseas reporters and broadcasters, said Australia’s national broadcaster had not been targeted, but rather was moved to an overflow room along with other international outlets due to space constraints.
