The official portrait of first lady Melania Trump was unveiled by the White House on Monday. The image, released in black and white, was taken in the residence by photographer Régine Mahaux. The first lady's office confirmed the photo was taken on Jan. 21, 2025, though the initial release mistakenly said it was taken in 2024.

The White House is citing the news outlet's decision declining to recognize the Trump administration's name change from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

The White House has blocked the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One because the news organization has refrained from renaming "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America."
