“On February 14, the White House deputy chief of staff, Taylor Budowich, announced that Associated Press journalists were banned indefinitely from the Oval Office and Air Force One due to their decision to continue using “Gulf of Mexico”, with Budowich accusing the Associated Press of “commitment to misinformation” and “irresponsible and dishonest reporting”. The White House Correspondents Association responded that the White House has “publicly admitted they are restricting access to events to punish a news outlet for not advancing the government’s preferred language”, and argued that this violated President Trump’s “executive order on freedom of speech and ending federal censorship”.

On April 8, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that would take effect on April 13 requiring the White House to reinstate Associated Press access.”
