Investing.com - U.S. President Donald Trump has been known to tweet out his grievances against companies and this time AT&T (NYSE:T) is in the spotlight.
Trump posited that customers could stop using AT&T’s services to spur changes at CNN, which is owned by the telecom company.
The president has often criticized CNN, which he says is "fake news."
AT&T rose 1.9% in midday trading Monday, despite Trump's comments.
Trump has expressed frustration with the telecom provider before and previously tried to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger. His boycott tweet follows an earlier tweet complaining that CNN is the only U.S. news source he can get in the U.K., where he is on a state visit.
