President Donald Trump issued an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has an answer for President Donald Trump about his idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America:” he can call it whatever he wants on the American part of it.
However, Trump's order only applies to the U.S. government's official position. Though headquartered in the U.S., corporations such as Google and Apple aren't beholden to the president's directive to rename the landmarks, raising questions as to whether they'll update their popular map services to reflect the government's stance.
For some crazy reason it’s having a renaissance in all my conversations. I can’t stop trotting it out while on the phone or out in public. "Chilly along the Gulf of Mexico," I’ll chip in as I pass someone in a store.
Mexican president says President Trump can call the gulf whatever he wants but that the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.
Trump also renamed Denali, North America’s tallest peak, as Mount McKinley, despite objections from Alaska’s senators.
Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." "President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.
Second-term Trump seems to have learned a thing or two since his first term, including the importance of having a little fun.
Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters and tried to overturn birthright citizenship in an aggressive first week that included deportations and firings.
The state of Alaska requested the name change in 1975, but the Board on Geographic Names didn’t take action. Members of the Ohio congressional delegation – President William McKinley was from Ohio – objected over many years to requests to rename the mountain, and the board did not act on those requests.
