US President Donald Trump has predicted that the New York Times will shut down before long, describing the prospect as a great day for America, TASS reported.

The president directed his criticism at a photograph the newspaper ran of Trump National Doral, his resort and hotel complex near Miami, Florida, according to the report. He described the image as a photo "doctored by The Times."

The Doral property is scheduled to be the venue for the G20 summit, TASS reported.
