Jeffrey Goldberg's reporting on Donald Trump has angered the US president

Overview

  • President Donald Trump is set to meet with Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, later today for an Oval Office interview.
  • The interview will also include Atlantic journalists Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker, as part of a feature titled 'The Most Consequential President of this Century.'
  • Trump’s decision comes after Goldberg’s reporting on SignalGate, where he was mistakenly added to a Signal chat revealing sensitive military discussions.
  • The meeting also revisits tensions over a disputed 2020 Atlantic story alleging Trump called U.S. war dead 'suckers' and 'losers,' which Trump has repeatedly denied.
  • Trump framed the interview as a test of The Atlantic’s ability to report fairly, stating he is 'curious' to see if they can write a truthful account.
