For days, the large US news agency AP and the White House have been fighting for the name of the Golf of Mexico. Now Trump's government is excluding journalists from the Oval Office and the presidential aircraft.
Because of her refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico as desired by US President Donald Trump, the renowned US news agency Associated Press (AP) from Trump's office and the presidential aircraft will be banished. AP “continues to ignore the lawful geographical change of the golf of America,” wrote the deputy head of the white house, Taylor Budowich, on Friday in online service X on the grounds.
Budowich described AP's reporting as irresponsible and dishonest. The news agency has no protected right to privilege access to the privilege of access such as the presidential office in the White House (Oval Office) and the government machine Air Force One. “In the future, this room will now be opened for the many thousands of reporters who have previously been excluded from the reporting on these confidential areas of the administration.”
AP refers to freedom of the press
A smaller group of journalists usually reports about trips and appearances by the President, who are not accessible to all press representatives. According to the medium, Trump's government has already excluded reports from reporting on events in the White House in the past few days.
AP editor-in-chief Julie Pace condemned the White House's approach as a violation of the freedom of speech and press stipulated in the US constitution. In addition, the “billions of people of people are given a bad service”, who were released in search of impartial news on the news agency, criticized AP.
AP is the largest news agency in the USA. In a stylistic point of view, she explained last month that Trump's name decree on the Gulf of Mexico “only has justification within the United States”. As a global news agency, AP “must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable for all target groups,” it said.
