White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted strongly to the media's coverage of President Trump's rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Following a ban on Associated Press reporters at an Oval Office event, Leavitt justified the action as a means to promote accurate terminology. Pressed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about concerns of retaliation against media, Leavitt asserted that the administration has the right to control who attends events and emphasized the privilege of covering the White House.
Leavitt emphasized the importance of using 'Gulf of America,' arguing that outlets should be accountable for how they refer to geographical names.
During the press briefing, Leavitt insisted that covering the White House is a privilege and underscored the administration's right to decide access to the Oval Office.
