President Donald Trump has a problem with journalists, particularly those who do or say things he doesn’t like. His latest fight is with the Associated Press, which refuses to go along with the president’s decision to unilaterally rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. But he’s also going after CBS’s “60 Minutes” for how it edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Des Moines Register over a late-election poll it published showing Trump losing Iowa in November (he didn’t). Katherine Jacobsen, the Committee to Protect Journalists’ program coordinator in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean, talks about the risks to press freedom under the Trump administration. Also in headlines: Trump officials continued to move closer to Russia during peace talks in Saudi Arabia over ending its invasion of Ukraine, the White House says billionaire Elon Musk is not running the Department of Government Efficiency, and another top federal prosecutor in D.C. resigned.

  • But let's start with journalism and more importantly,

  • attacks on journalism and journalists from the Trump administration.

  • President Donald Trump has a problem with journalists,

  • particularly journalists who do things he doesn't like or say things he doesn't approve of.

  • Take the Associated Press.

  • When Trump unilaterally decided that he was renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America,

  • the Associated Press didn't fall in line because,

  • as the AP pointed out, the Gulf has held that name for more than 400 years.

  • And other countries and international bodies don't recognize the Gulf of America name.

  • Which matters because the AP is an international news outlet.

  • And Trump, as he tends to do,
