Friday evening, the Associated Press “AB”, filed a complaint against 3 officials of the administration of the American president Donald Trump, condemning the decision of the White House to prevent his journalists from reaching a certain number of activities of the American president, in the context of his refusal to adopt the name “The Gulf of America” instead of “Mexico Bay”.
The agency, which is one of the pillars of the American press, considered in its trial, which was submitted to the American district court of Washington, DC, considered that it was deprived of the entrance to the oval office and Presidential air “Forsa 10 days ago represents a violation of the first amendment to the American Constitution, which guarantees freedom of the press and expression, trying to impose restrictions on the language used in its reports.
“The press and everyone in the United States have the right to choose their own words, without being exposed to government’s revenge.”
The names of the two employees of the White House Susie Wales, Taylor Boudwich were his deputy and Trump spokesperson.
The American presidency prevented the Associated Press from entering the office of the White House or the presidential plane (Air Force One), because the agency did not comply with the decree that Trump has signed and changed the name of the Gulf From Mexico to the Gulf of America.
“The press and all the citizens of the United States have the right to choose their words and that they are not vulnerable to revenge by the government.” “The Constitution does not allow the government to control the speech,” she added, warning “a threat to the freedom of each American”.
During a speech during the conservative conference, Caroline Levitt, spokesperson for Trump, replied: “We think our position is true. We will see them in court, and we will make sure that the truth and the precision are present at the White House every day. “
Trump accused the Associated Press news agency on Thursday on Thursday, a radical left -wing organization “, in his latest criticisms of his criticism for his lack of commitment to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
Left organization
“We have a problem with one of the press agencies, the Associated Press, a radical organization on the left which treats us all in a very bad form, and refuses to recognize that the Gulf, which was known as Mexico , became the name of the American Gulf, “said Trump in a speech on Thursday.
Trump published a decree after having assumed his functions in January, who killed the “Gulf of America” on the Gulf of Mexico, located between the two countries, which was not committed by the Associated Press.
In an editorial note, the Associated Press explained that the decree which changes the name of the Gulf of Mexico has an authority in the United States exclusively, while Mexico, other countries and international organizations were not recognized.
The agency added that it “would refer to the Gulf with its original name, taking the new name that Trump chose in mind”.
In its editorial guide, the agency has declared that the Gulf has been bearing this name for more than 400 years and that it is necessary to use terms that are easy to identify worldwide.
In response to this, the White House prevented the Associated Press from entering the oval office, where Trump has organized several press activities since his return to the presidency, and prevented them from accompanying the president on board “Air Force One “.
This prohibition prohibits the agency’s journalists from seeing and hearing Trump and senior officials while making important decisions or directly commenting on current events.
Several regulatory organizations, as well as the correspondence of the White House, condemned this decision, and Reuters published a declaration supporting the Associated Press.
The Associated Press was created in 1846 and provided articles, photos and videos of a wide range of American and foreign media.
The agency, which employs more than 3,000 people, has published more than 375,000 items, more than a million photos and 80,000 video clips in 2023, according to its figures.
