President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to something more American.
Trump was speaking at a press conference on Tuesday from Palm Beach, Florida when he made the remark.
“We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring,” Trump said. “That covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name. And it’s appropriate.”
The Republican said his administration will be making the official announcement “at a future date pretty soon.”
“Because we do most of the work there and it’s ours,” he said.
