The Trump White House has taken a controversial stance by blocking Associated Press reporters from attending two recent media availabilities with President Trump. The reason cited for the ban was the AP's refusal to change its stylebook entry for Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America.'
This move marks a significant departure from decades of precedent, as the AP is a foundational part of the press pool that typically covers presidential events. The AP's executive editor condemned the action, signaling a potential legal challenge against the White House.
