Kaitlan Collins, a CNN reporter often targeted by President Donald Trump, found herself at the center of attention once again during a press conference abroad on Wednesday. The moment began with Trump spotting Collins in the crowd and making a pointed remark before taking her question. \u201cOh, fake news CNN? Ayayai, here we go,\u201d he said, drawing laughter from the European audience. He added, \u201cYou should really say how great our soldiers and warriors are,\u201d to which Collins calmly responded, \u201cI think everyone appreciates our soldiers and our warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collins then pressed Trump on his reliance on Israeli intelligence regarding the recent U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. While a preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment suggested the attacks may have only delayed Iran\u2019s nuclear program by a few months, Israel claimed the sites were severely damaged. Trump dismissed the U.S. report as \u201cinconclusive\u201d and defended his position, stating that multiple sources \u2014 including Iran itself and a document shown to CNN \u2014 indicated the damage could be \u201cvery severe.\u201d He criticized CNN\u2019s reporting for omitting that detail, accusing the network of bias and misrepresenting the intelligence. Trump also stated that Israeli sources had personally inspected the aftermath and confirmed the sites were \u201cobliterated,\u201d adding, \u201cWe think everything nuclear is down there. They didn\u2019t take it out.\u201d The exchange highlighted the continuing friction between the Trump administration and CNN, particularly regarding coverage of foreign policy and national security matters.<\/p>\n
