President Trump speaks to the press in the Oval Office next to a map of what he has renamed the "Gulf of America" on March 26. The administration has denied the Associated Press access to such events because it calls the body of water the "Gulf of Mexico," even as it acknowledges his preferred designation.

U.S. Judge Trevor N. McFadden rules the White House cannot deny the Associated Press access to news events because the wire service continues to use "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America".
