The White House changed rules for news reporters. It is now harder for news from other countries to see the president.

This decision would stop AP and other news groups. These groups give news to many people and news websites. Before, a judge said the White House was wrong. The White House stopped AP because they did not agree about the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

The White House has a new plan. The person who talks to the press, Karoline Leavitt, will choose who can ask the boss questions. This is for small places like the Oval Office. People who saw the plan said this.

The White House did not answer on Tuesday night.

A judge said the White House was wrong. They stopped AP reporters because AP did not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

The White House told some reporters a new rule.

The White House reporters group has a list of reporters for small events. AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg reporters are on this list. Also, one reporter from newspapers is on the list. Many newspapers take turns being on the list.

The White House says some reporters will share two places.

The White House said the press person can still choose which reporters can come.

AP is sad because the White House did not help them.

News groups use our stories for people in the U.S. and other countries.

Easton said the government stops people from talking freely.

A group of reporters said the White House wants to pick who writes about the president. They think this means the White House might not be fair to all reporters.

Eugene Daniels, the head of the group, said: "The government must not tell the free news what to say."

The White House talks more with news people who like Trump. One reporter asked questions and said good things about Trump's plans.

On Monday, Mr. Trump was not happy with questions from a reporter. He said CNN does not like the country.

Trump talks to the media more than Joe Biden. He likes to talk in his office. The new rule about talking to the media is important.

The new rule did not talk about photographers.

The problem started because AP did not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. The president wanted to change the name. AP said they can say what they want.

The White House says it can choose who can see the president. They say it is not a right for everyone.

Other news groups in the US do not get special access like the AP had. They said the AP was used to being special, but the law does not say it must always be special.

The government asked a higher court to wait for the final decision.

The AP reporters could not go to some events for two months.
