A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore full access to the Associated Press (AP), a major news organization in the United States, which has been suspended for two months.

The AP was barred from the Oval Office and the presidential aircraft, known as 'Air Force One,' in February after it refused to comply with a new designation for the Gulf of Mexico, which had been renamed 'Gulf of America' by an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump.

The judge determined that the AP's exclusion based on this issue violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression.

The ruling emphasizes the role of the AP in providing news coverage and highlights constitutional protections related to journalistic access to government functions.
