(WDNews) – President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to rename the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America” during a press conference held this morning at Mar-a-Lago.
“We are going to be changing — the opposite of Biden closing everything up and getting rid of 50 to 60 trillion worth of assets — we’ll be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring,” Trump said.
“That covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. It is appropriate. It’s appropriate,” he continued. “I’ll be introducing legislation as soon as possible to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to its rightful name, the Gulf of America!”
The proposal has sparked a mixed public reaction. While some social media users have supported the move, others have criticized it or questioned whether renaming the Gulf falls within Trump’s authority.
