The White House has launched a 24-hour streaming channel dubbed “Trump TV”, giving viewers access to past speeches, announcements and other content from President Donald Trump’s administration.
The White House announced the launch on its official X account on Monday, describing the service as a real-time stream featuring key moments and updates from the administration.
“IT’S LIVE. Trump TV is Streaming Now. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place.
“Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can,” the White House said.
Officially titled “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station”, the stream is available on the White House website and its YouTube channel.
According to the White House, the channel will showcase some of the administration’s “biggest moments”, including videos, major presidential remarks and other highlights.
The launch comes amid an escalating dispute between the Trump administration and several major US news organisations over media access to the White House.
Trump recently barred CNN, Politico and MS NOW from White House grounds, prompting the three organisations to sue the administration over the decision.
ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC later suspended their shared White House pool coverage in solidarity with the affected outlets.
The White House has defended its media access policy, while Trump has repeatedly criticised coverage of his administration that he considers unfair or “fake news”.
The first Trump TV broadcast featured previously recorded footage, including Trump’s July 3 address at Mount Rushmore, rather than a live presidential event.
The channel provides the White House with a direct platform to distribute video of Trump and his administration without relying solely on traditional television networks for coverage.
