Blanca denies entrance to AP reporter to office oval by politics about Gulf de México

The White House prevented a reporter from The Associated Press on Tuesday Joined”.

The reporter tried to enter the White House event as usual on Tuesday afternoon and was rejected, AP executives said. The unusual veto, that Trump’s officials had shortly threatened to impose unless the AP changed their style on the Gulf of Mexico, could have constitutional implications on freedom of expression.

Julie Pace, senior vice president and executive director of The Associated Press, described the unacceptable measure.

“It is alarming that Trump’s government punish the AP for his independent journalism,” Pace said in a communication. “Limiting our access to the oval office based on the content of the AP speech not only seriously hinders public access to independent news, but clearly violates the first amendment” of the United States Constitution.

The Trump government did not make ads about the measure so far, and there were no indications that other journalists were affected. Trump has long had a hostile relationship with the media. On Friday, the Administration expelled a second group of news organizations from the Pentagon office space.

The AP style is not only used by the agency. The AP style manual is used by thousands of journalists and other editors worldwide.

The demands of a president for a news organization to fulfill an order to change its content would seem to contravene the first amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits the government from hindering freedom of the press.

Before his investiture on January 20, Trump announced plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of the United States”, and signed an executive order in that regard as soon as he assumed the position. The president of Mexico responded sarcastically and others pointed out that the change of name would probably not affect global use.

This week, Google Maps began using “Gulf of the United States” on the grounds that it had a “practical old” of following the provisions of the United States government in such matters. The other leader of Maps online, Apple Maps, was still using “Gulf of Mexico.”

The AP said last month, three days after the inauguration of Trump, that it would continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as such while also information about Trump’s decision to rename it. As a global news agency that spreads news worldwide, the AP indicates that you must ensure that the names of places and geography are easily recognizable for all audiences.

Trump also decreed that the mountain in Alaska known as Monte McKinley and then by its indigenous name, Denali, resumed the name in honor of the 25th president of the United States. President Barack Obama had ordered that Denali be renamed in 2015. The AP said last month that it will use the official name change to Monte McKinley because the area is found exclusively in the United States and Trump has the authority to change federal geographical names within the country.
