Summary

Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.

The ban stems from AP's refusal to adopt the term "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico," following a Trump executive order.

Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.

The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a "radical left organization."
