The Associated Press was blocked from an Oval Office event after refusing to recognize President Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The White House cited the AP's refusal to align its style guide with the executive order as the reason for the denial.
The Associated Press was furious on Tuesday after the White House disallowed the outlet’s reporter from joining President Donald Trump and the king of Jordan’s press gaggle in the Oval Office. The White House apparently denied the organization access because it refuses to officially and fully recognize Gulf of America’s name change from the Gulf of Mexico.

Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing. It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. 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.
