President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will continue to restrict The Associated Press' access to his events and news conferences until the news outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports.

Donald Trump weighed in directly for the first time on his efforts to freeze out the Associated Press from White House events because the news service declined to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Associated Press journalists have been blocked from places like the Oval Office and Air Force One because the organization has declined to use the term ‘Gulf of America.’
