The White House Correspondents' Association protested a decision by the White House on Tuesday to bar an Associated Press reporter from an event with President Donald Trump over the news agency's decision to continue referring to the Gulf of Mexico.

An AP journalist was denied entry to the White House. Trump administration officials said the reporter was kept out because the news agency did not comply with Trump's order renaming the Gulf as the "Gulf of America.

The Associated Press said it was blocked from covering President Donald Trump’s executive order signing today because it declined to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its editorial style standards.
