President Donald Trump has canceled the White House holiday party for the media, Fox News is reporting.
The party fell victim to the administration’s rocky relationship with major media outlets, according to the news network.
In years past, the gala featured a buffet of lamb chops, crab claws and specialized desserts. Presidents and first ladies often posed for photos with members of the press.
Trump threw the White House party last year, but did not pose for photos. At the party, Trump briefly welcomed the press, shook some hands and left after a few minutes.
Trump has regularly attacked certain media outlets for what he perceived as unfair reporting on his administration. He has often used the term, “fake news,” to describe the reporting.
