United States President Donald Trump has sparked controversy after alleging that a report aired by CNN was sourced from a “fake news site from Nigeria,” while disputing Iran’s claim of victory following a ceasefire agreement.
Trump made the claim in a post on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, shortly after announcing a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Reacting to a statement attributed to Iran, he said, “The alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud, as CNN well knows.”
