WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump ratcheted up his feud with the US media on Saturday, announcing he will skip the annual correspondents' dinner one day after a row erupted over White House press access.
By skipping the April 29 event, Trump breaks a tradition in which the US president is the guest of honor at a lighthearted roast held by journalists and studded with celebrities.
"I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
