President-elect Donald Trump has announced his plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America,' sparking both support and criticism.
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” in honor of the U.S. Trump made the comment during a wide-ranging press conference at Mar-a-Lago, which followed Congress’ certification of his win in the presidential election. He floated the new name as a “beautiful” improvement to the body of water. We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring,” he said.
“That covers a lot of territory—the Gulf of America, what a beautiful name.” Reacting to the remark was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who promised to support Trump’s decision. “President Trump’s second term is off to a GREAT start,” she wrote via X. “I’ll be introducing legislation ASAP to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to its rightful name, the Gulf of America!” The promise followed Trump teasing Monday a merging of Canada with the U.S., something he said would make Canada “totally secure” from foreign attack. He floated the idea in the wake of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his plans to resign. “The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat,' the president-elect said via Truth Social. 'Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned.”Trump has also called for U.S. expansion into Greenland and the Panama Canal. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., supported Trump’s Greenland push last month, calling it a matter of national security during an interview with Fox News. “When you talk about securing our nation, that is where Greenland comes into the conversation and being strategic and how we’re going to keep this nation safe,' Sen. Blackburn said
