President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' during a January 7th news conference. While the name change is symbolic and faces logistical challenges, Trump expressed his enthusiasm for the new name, claiming it 'has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.'
One day after Congress certified his election victory, President-elect Donald Trump said, during a news conference on Jan. 7 that covered a wide range of topics, that he has plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America.""We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate," he said.
According to the order, Denali is a local native name for the mountain. Mount McKinley was named after President William McKinley, who served from 1897 until he was assassinated in 1901.The order noted that McKinley never visited the mountain, and didn't otherwise have any significant historical connection to the mountain or Alaska. The order came decades after the Alaskan government requested the name change.
