An international journalists' organisation has placed US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Israeli military on its list of enemies of press freedom, De Telegraaf reports. The listing was published on Monday, 2 November 2026, according to the Dutch newspaper.
De Telegraaf names the three in its headline on the updated list. Other Dutch outlets carried the same development, with NU reporting that Trump was added to the roster and NOS describing it as an international journalists' organisation placing the US president among those it considers hostile to the press.
Het Parool framed the addition of Trump as him joining Putin and Elon Musk on the press freedom enemies list. De Morgen also reported the listing in its live coverage.
The reports do not detail the organisation's specific reasons for each entry, and the available material gives no further breakdown of the list's contents or how many names it carries.
The designation is symbolic and carries no legal weight, though such listings are closely watched by press advocacy groups as a marker of how governments and military bodies are seen to treat journalists.
Watch for the organisation's full published list and any formal response from the White House, the Kremlin or Israeli officials.
