President-elect Donald Trump said early Tuesday morning that he cancelled a meeting with the “failing” New York Times.
Trump said in a tweet that the meeting's “terms and conditions” were changed at the last moment.
“Not nice,” he added.
Trump said a new meeting may still be set up, adding that he continues to be covered “inaccurately and with a nasty tone!”
Trump also pointed to increased complaints against the newspaper.
“I can fully understand that – but why announce?” he asked.
The Times, for its part, released a statement saying it did not change any of the meeting's terms, and only refused to agree to Trump's request to squash an on-the-record sessions.
In its coverage of that meeting, the Times said Trump “let them have it.”
He had planned to next meet with editors and reporters at the Times, which he frequently criticized during the campaign and after winning the election.
The newspaper announced earlier this month that it added 41,000 new subscriptions in the week after the election.
