'It's ours': Trump says he will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico

^{Published on 2025-01-08 11:01:13 - MSN}

President-elect Donald Trump has plans for Texas's coast: naming it something more "American". During remarks at an impromptu press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, Trump said his incoming administration would change the Gulf of Mexico's name because "we do most of the work there" and "it's ours.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's claim that he intends to rename the Gulf of Mexico to "Trump's Gulf" if he wins the 2024 presidential election. Trump made these remarks during a rally in Florida, where he boasted about his achievements and future plans, including this controversial proposal. The statement has sparked a mix of reactions, with some supporters cheering the idea as a symbol of his legacy, while critics argue it represents an overreach of personal branding into public and historical domains. Legal and political experts have noted that renaming a geographical feature like the Gulf of Mexico would require significant legislative action, involving Congress and potentially international agreements, given its shared borders with Mexico and Cuba. The proposal has been largely dismissed as political rhetoric, but it underscores Trump's ongoing strategy to maintain a strong personal brand identity.
