The Associated Press (AP) upholds its style guide naming the body of water between Mexico and the United States as the Gulf of Mexico despite a Trump administration order naming it the Gulf of America. This conflict has led to AP reporters being banned from the White House Press Corps. White House officials have criticized the AP's decision, while the White House Correspondents Association denounces the exclusion, stating it violates freedom of speech and the First Amendment.
The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America. This decision is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press' commitment to misinformation.
White House Correspondents Association President Eugene Davis condemned the exclusion of AP reporters, calling it an outrageous and a deeply disappointing escalation of an already unacceptable situation and a textbook violation of not only the First Amendment, but the president's own executive order on freedom of speech and ending federal censorship.
