Because of the refusal to name the Gulf of Mexico as desired by US President Donald Trump, the renowned American news agency Associated Press (AP) is permanently banned from the Trump office and the presidential plane.
AP “continues to ignore the legal geographical change in the Golf of America,” wrote the deputy head of the White House, Taylor Budowich, on Friday in online service X on the site.
“Many thousands of other reporters”
The right of the news agency was “protected against irresponsible and unfair reporting by the first constitutional addition,” Budowich continued. However, this secure AP is not “the privilege of unobstructed access to limited rooms such as the Oval Office and the Air Force One”. Instead of the news agency, this place is now “open to the many thousands of reporters who were previously banned by the reporting of these confidential areas of the government”.
Since Tuesday, AP reporters have been refused access to appointments by the President in the Oval Office several times. The reason is that AP continues to refer to the Gulf of Mexico with its name, which has been traditional for more than 400 years. Trump had the reconciliation of the water immediately after the performance in January to Gulf or America.
AP editor-in-chef sees a violation of the American Constitution
AP editor-in-chief Julie Pace condemned the approach to the White House as a violation of freedom of expression and press in the American Constitution. Moreover, the “billions of people of people get a bad service”, who were released in search of impartial news about the news agency, AP criticized.
AP is the largest news agency in the US. Your linguistic rules have been part of the standard lecture for news editors and company offices for years. In a stylistic note, AP had explained last month that Trump’s name decision “only has justified in the United States”. If a worldwide news agency spreads news around the world, AP “must make sure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all target groups,” said it.
