WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump slammed the Associated Press on Thursday for not changing its style on the Gulf of Mexico after he ordered it to be renamed the Gulf of America.

"The news organization AP, a radical left organization, treats us all very badly," Trump said at the Republican Governors Association Meeting dinner in Washington, DC.

He added that they refuse to adopt the term "Gulf of America" as mandated by a recent executive order.

"We're holding them out of any news conferences right now," he said.

"So we're having a little dispute, but only one. But Google Maps has already changed. Almost everybody...It's called the Gulf of America," Trump said, in reference to his executive order changing the name of the body of water.
