Elected President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would try to try to rename Mexican Bay of America, a name he said had a “beautiful ring to him”.
This is his last suggestion to adjust the map of the Western Hemisphere. Trump has repeatedly called Canada as the “51st country”, asked Denmark to view Greenland and called on Panama to return the Panama Canal.
Here is a look at his comment and what goes into a name.
Why does Trump talk about renaming the Gulf of Mexico?
Following his first running for the White House in 2016, Trump has repeatedly confronted Mexico on a number of problems, including borderline security and the imposition of tariffs on imported goods. He then swore to build a wall along the US -Mexico border and make Mexico pay for it. In the end, the United States built or repaired about 450 miles of wall in its first term.

The Gulf of Mexico is often called the “Third Coast” of the United States because of its coastline in five southeastern states. Mexicans use the Spanish version of the eponymous for the Persian Gulf: El Golf de Mexico.
Americans and Mexicans are diverging what to call another key water body, the river that forms the boundary between Texas and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. Americans call it Rio Grande; Mexicans call it Rio Bravo.
Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico?
Maybe, but this is not a one -sided solution and other countries should not continue.
The International Hydrographic Organization – from which both the United States and Mexico are members – works to ensure that all world seas, oceans and navigation waters are explored and drawn evenly, and also indicate some of them. There are times when the parties refer to the same water body or landmark by different names in their own documentation.
It can be easier when it is within the water boundaries. In 2015, then President Barack Obama approved an order from the Ministry of the Interior to rename Mount McKinley-the highest peak in North America-Denali, a move, which Trump also said he wanted to turn.
Right after Trump’s comments on Tuesday, during an interview with podcarera Benny Johnson, she said reporter Marjorie Taylor Green that she would direct his employees to prepare legislation to change the Gulf Mexico, which she said would take care of funding For new administrative policy maps and materials throughout the federal government.
How did the Gulf of Mexico get its name?
The water body has been depicted by this name for more than four centuries, an original determination, which is thought to have been taken from an Indian city of Mexico.
Has the Gulf Mexican renaming appeared before?
Yes. In 2012, a member of the Mississippi legislation proposed a bill to rename parts of the Gulf that touch the beaches of this state of the Persian Gulf, a move that the author of the bill referred to as “joke”. This bill, which was aimed at a committee, did not pass.
Two years earlier, comedian Stephen Colbert jokes in his show that after the large -scale spill of oil in the Gulf of Mexican Bay, he must be renamed “Bay of America” because “we broke it, we bought it.”
Are there any other international disputes over places names?
There is a long -standing dispute over Japan’s name Japan among Japan, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, with South Korea claiming that the current name is usually not used until Korea is under Japanese rule. The International Hydrographic Organization in 2020 Member States agreed on a plan for the replacement of names with numerical identifiers and the development of a new digital standard for modern geographical information systems.
The Persian Gulf is widely known by this 16th century name, although the use of the Gulf and the Arabian Gulf is dominant in many countries in the Middle East. The Iran government has threatened to sue Google in 2012 because of the company’s decision not to indicate the body of water on its cards at all.
There were other conversations about the bodies of the water, including the Trump opponent for 2016. According to materials revealed by Wikileaks in a hack of the personal story of the chairman of her campaign, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2013 told the audience that by public China’s logic that it claimed almost integrity on the South China Sea, then the United States after the World War II could mark the Pacific “The US Sea”.
