President-elect Donald Trump has suggested renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America', citing its 'beautiful ring'. This is part of a pattern of Trump's proposals to alter the map of the Western Hemisphere, including referring to Canada as the '51st State' and demanding Greenland from Denmark.
President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” a name he said has a “beautiful ring to it.”
The Gulf of Mexico is often referred to as the United States’ “Third Coast” due to its coastline across five southeastern states. Mexicans use a Spanish version of the same name for the gulf: “El Golfo de México.” It can be easier when a landmark or body of water is within a country’s boundaries. In 2015, then-President Barack Obama approved an order from the Department of Interior to rename Mount McKinley — the highest peak in North America — to Denali, a move that Trump said he wants to reverse.
