Washington, D.C., USA – The Associated Press (AP) pushed back against the Trump administration on February 13 after one of its reporters was blocked from an event over the news organization's continued use of the name "Gulf of Mexico" in its coverage. The AP labelled the move a violation of the First Amendment. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP's speech not only severely impedes the public's access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment," Pace stated. The AP's style guide, widely used by newsrooms across the country, published an update on January 23, noting that Trump's order to rename the Gulf of Mexico only carries authority within the United States. And if necessary, we will file a civil suit." Trump signed executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico and reverting the name of North America's highest peak, Denali, back to Mount McKinley soon after his January 20 inauguration.
