Associated Press: White House banning its reporters from Oval Office is 'unacceptable'

On February 12, Jinshi Data reported that on the 11th, according to the Associated Press, a reporter from the Associated Press was banned from entering the Oval Office of the White House to participate in activities because the Associated Press still uses the name 'Gulf of Mexico'. A senior official of the Associated Press said that the White House's move violated the First Amendment of the Constitution, which is 'unacceptable.' The Associated Press said that on the afternoon of the 11th, the reporter tried to enter the Oval Office of the White House to participate in activities as usual, but was rejected. Subsequently, another reporter from the Associated Press was banned from attending the event held in the State Department of the White House that evening.
