CNN: White House Bars Associated Press over ‘Gulf of America’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “The same day, President Trump signed another order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. And that order is what brings us back to this week and the initial reason the Associated Press was blocked. The Reporter was blocked from entering the Oval Office yesterday because while the United States government now recognizes the new name, the Gulf of America, and the Gulf of America now shows up on Google Maps, which goes by what the U.S. calls things, Mexico and other countries have not recognized the name change, and that leads the Associated Press to issue this style guidance: ‘The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years. The Associated Press will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen.’ Sort of like how for a while everyone was still calling X the platform formerly known as Twitter.”
