Trump says that the Gulf of America name looks more beautiful.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday barred the US News Agency Associate Press (AP) from sending reporters to the President’s Office (Oval Office). The news agency claims that the US President did not use the Gulf of America in place of Gulf of Mexico, due to which it has been done to punish him.
AP’s executive editor Julie Pace said- White House has said that if the news agency does not match its editorial policy with the US President, AP will not be allowed to enter the Oval office for any program.
Julie Paes said-
It is worrying that the Trump administration will punish AP for his independent journalism. Stopping us in the Oval Office because of our news content not only prevents access to the people of independent journalism, but it is clearly a violation of amendment before our constitution.
The first amendment of the US Constitution is called Bill of Rights. It was implemented on 1791. This amendment gives religion, speech, and freedom of press.
Presses are not mouthpiece of people sitting in power At the same time, Aaron Ter, director of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, has described Trump’s decision as a dangerous attack on the freedom of the press. Ter said- The role of our press is to justify the people sitting in power and not to become their mouthpiece. Any effort of the government to end this fundamental freedom should be condemned.
WHCA president Eugene Daniels said- White House cannot order how to present the news agency news. He should not punish journalists simply because he (White House) is not happy with the adatorial decisions.
On the other hand, Google on Monday changed the name of Mexico’s Gulf to America on the Google Maps platform inside the US, according to the executive order of President Donald Trump. However, the name ‘Gulf of Mexico’ will appear in Mexico. Both names will appear in the rest of the countries.
Both names are visible on Google Maps.
Trump promised to change the name in the election campaign
All this controversy started when Donald Trump spoke about changing the name of Gulf of Mexico during the election campaign. Trump said that he would change the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America ‘. Trump said that this name seems more ‘beautiful’ and it is also right to keep the same name.
According to him, America does the most activity in this area, so this place is from America.
Trump promised to change the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America during the election campaign.
Other countries are not obliged to accept Trump’s decision
Both the US and Mexico are members of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). This agency surveys all the seas, oceans in the world. IHO also has the responsibility of changing the names of places. However, in general, the consent of both sides is necessary to change the name.
The order to change the name of Trump applies only to the US. Other countries are not obliged to accept this decision.
How did Gulf of Mexico get his name?
Gulf of Mexico has been known by this name for more than 400 years. It is believed that the name was taken from the American city of ‘Mexico’. However, it is not the first time that the name of Gulf of Mexico has been discussed.
In 2012, Mississippi, a representative, proposed a bill to rename parts of Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’. The bill was later sent to a committee which could not be passed.
