📝 Summary

The American Agency Associated Press (AP) filed a lawsuit in the district court in Washington against three White House officials because of restrictions on access of journalists at the press conference.

The reason for the restrictions against the agency was the fact that in its publications it refused to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf in accordance with the decree of US President Donald Trump. “The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their words and not be harassed by the government,” the article said. US presidential spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt confirmed the claim. At the same time, she assured that no offenses were committed against the agency. Earlier it was reported that AP journalists were deprived of access to the Oval Office and the right of passage on board the plane of the President of the United States. At the same time, they can still attend various events at the White House.
