The AB, an unidentified reporter, tried to enter the White House event as usual on Tuesday afternoon and was sent back. If the style of the Gulf is not changed, the most extraordinary ban on the Trump administration on Tuesday may have a constitutional independent speech impact.

The action of Julie Base, the senior vice president and administrative editor of the Associated Press, is unacceptable.

“It is dangerous that the Trump administration will punish the AP for its independent magazine,” Base said in a statement. “Controlling our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only prevents access to public independent messages, but it clearly violates the first amendment.”

The Trump administration has not immediately issued announcements regarding this move, and there are no signs of any other journalists affected. Trump had a negative relationship with the media for a long time. On Friday, the management evacuated the second group from the Pentagon’s office space.

Prior to his January 20 swearing -in, Trump announced plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of the United States – and signed an administrative order to do so when he was in office. Mexico’s president responded with teasing that others noted that the name change would not affect the global use.

Apart from the United States, Mexico Gulf, named the Gulf for more than 400 years – and Mexico.

Three days after Trump’s swearing -in, AB said last month that it would continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico, while referring to the Gulf of Mexico. AP says that as a global news agency that spreads news around the world, space names and geography are easily identified for all audiences.

AP style is not limited to the agency. The AP Style Book is believed by thousands of journalists and other writers worldwide.

Tim Richardson, a project director of the US press and false information, said that the government prevents the first amendment to the US Constitution, excluding the AB reporter, and the government prevents the freedom of the press.

The White House Reporters Association called the White House unacceptable and called the administration to change the course.

“The White House cannot dictate how news companies report the news, or not to pay fines on working journalists because it is not happy at the end of their authors,” said Eugene Daniels of the WHCA.

This week, Google Maps began using the “Gulf of the United States”, saying that there is a “long -term procedure” to follow the way of the US government on such matters. Other leading online map provider, Apple Maps, was using the “Mexico Gulf” on Tuesday, but early in the early morning some browsers turned into a “bay”, although at least one search made results.

Trump also ordered the replacement of the 25th president by the mountain in Alaska, also known as Mount McCinley and then its native name, Denali. President Barack Obama ordered the renamed Tenali in 2015. Last month, AB said it was using the official name change to the McKinley Mountain, because the region is only in the United States and Trump has the power to change federal geographical names within the country.
