There’s a lot of changes expected in President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming administration. And he announced one of the latest ones in a press conference Tuesday morning.
Trump gave a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida a day after the presidential election was certified,” per Mediaite.
“We are going be changing — the 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 announced. “That covers a lot of territory.”
“The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. It is appropriate. It’s appropriate,” Trump added.
Trump has blamed the U.S.’s neighbors to the south with immigration issues plaguing the U.S.
Although the animosity between Trump and Mexico has been apparent for a while, the name change has seemed to come out of nowhere.
However, political activist Jack Posobiec hinted at the name change in December on X.
“While we’re at it,” he posted.
“Gulf of Mexico? “I think you mean Gulf of America,” he added.
Now, some are wondering how the name of a body of water can be changed.
