President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly meet with The New York Times on Tuesday after previously canceling the sit-down when he claimed "the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment."
The New York Times had apparently found out about the cancellation via Trump's tweet: "We did not change the ground rules at all and made no attempt to," the paper said in a statement. The Times confirmed later Tuesday morning that their meeting with Trump was back on. "He will meet with our publisher off-the-record and that session will be followed by an on-the-record meeting with our journalists and editorial columnists," the paper clarified.
Tuesday's tension follows a "horrible" sit-down with major news networks on Monday; the journalists went in thinking they would discuss "the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down."
