In a significant escalation of tensions, the Trump administration has excluded Associated Press journalists from Air Force One and key White House events. This decision stems from the AP's refusal to adopt the administration's term "Gulf of America," opting instead to retain "Gulf of Mexico." The administration argues this exclusion is due to the AP's alleged misinformation while the agency and others denounce it as a First Amendment violation. The move has drawn criticism from various media organizations and heightened concerns over press freedoms, gaining attention both domestically and internationally.
