Why has Donald Trump banned the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One?

Donald Trump banned the Associated Press (AP) from the Oval Office and Air Force One because they refused to follow his orders to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.' This conflict emerged when Trump insisted on this name change, which contradicts the widely used AP style guide that maintains the correct name as the Gulf of Mexico. The AP style book, recognized globally as an arbiter of language and usage for journalists, continues to use the traditional geographical name despite Trump's directive. This ban highlights tensions between the Trump administration and the press over editorial independence and journalistic standards.
