It is alleged that the White House is working on a policy that would restrict the participation of news agencies such as the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Bloomberg in events at the Oval Office or on Air Force One. The AP news agency has obtained the new media policy that the White House plans to implement in the near future.
If the new policy is put into effect, the access of agencies like AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg, which provide news to media organizations worldwide, to White House events and press briefings will be restricted.
Under the plan, it is claimed that a new "pool system" is being prepared for media organizations to attend events in limited-space locations such as the Oval Office or Air Force One, and that the decision on which media outlet will be allowed to ask questions to US President Donald Trump will be left to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Within the scope of the new "pool system," it is alleged that print media reporters from agencies such as AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg will be placed in a similar category and will rotate the use of two seats allocated to the print press.
The AP had previously announced that it would not comply with Donald Trump's instruction to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." In response, the White House had blocked AP reporters from entering a press briefing.
