President-Elect USA Donald Trump has proposed renaming the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America” to emphasize U.S. influence and pride in the region. In a recent speech, he argued that the new name would better reflect America’s dominance and identity.
The proposal has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters see it as a bold expression of patriotism, while critics argue it overlooks the historical and geographical ties shared with Mexico and neighboring countries.
Renaming such a well-known body of water would require broad international agreement, making it highly unlikely. While largely symbolic, the proposal highlights Trump’s continued ability to spark political debate and draw attention to his ideas.
