The Associated Press (AP) was denied entry to cover a press conference featuring U.S. President Donald Trump and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele on Monday. This incident follows a court ruling from the previous week, which stated that the Trump administration could not penalize AP for its refusal to adopt a new name for the Gulf of Mexico. The ruling was set to take effect on Monday. However, the White House has appealed the decision, asserting that they are not required to alter their practices until the ruling is finalized.
