Trump Announces He’s Changing the Name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America: ‘It’s Ours’
during a recent news conference, President-elect Donald Trump announced a controversial plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America, claiming it reflects America’s contributions to the region. This statement came after he generated attention by referring to canada as the 51st state. Trump emphasized the U.S.’s critically important trade deficit with Mexico adn criticized the country’s governance, suggesting that drug cartels dominate its political landscape. He stated that mexico needs to take duty for curbing illegal immigration to the U.S. and expressed optimism about a new era for America, which he described as “the dawn of America’s golden age.” His proposal has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporters eagerly backing the name change while critics dismiss it as trivial.
Fresh off of raising hackles and generating headlines by referring to Canada as the 51st state, President-elect Donald Trump turned his attention southward Tuesday towards a body of water with a troubling name.
Trump’s latest idea to re-shape North America came during a news conference, as he was discussing issues with Mexico, according to a video posted to X.
“We have a massive deficit with Mexico, and we help Mexico a lot,” Trump said.

“We’re going to be announcing, at a future date — pretty soon, we’re going to change, because we do most of the work there, and its ours — we’re going to be changing, sort of the opposite of Biden, where he’s closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets — we’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring,” he said.
