An AP reporter taxed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s patience when he asked her Tuesday if she had ever paid a tariff.
The clash came amid tanking stock market and a battle with the press over the ‘Gulf of America’, as the press briefing took a personal tone.
It happened when Leavitt called on the reporter from the Associated Press – an outlet the White House has banned from ‘pooled’ Oval Office visits and Air Force One trips amid fury over wire service’s refusal to adopt Trump’s renaming of the Gulf.
