GOP Lawmaker Proposes Naming US Coastal Waters After Trump

Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach

A House GOP lawmaker is leading an initiative to rename the United States’ coastal waterways after former President Trump. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., is set to introduce a bill to designate the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as the Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States. The EEZ refers to waters adjacent to a country's coast where it holds exclusive rights for various activities.

The U.S. boasts the world's largest EEZ, covering 4,383,000 square miles. Steube emphasized Trump's commitment to ocean strength and resilience, citing his efforts during his presidency to bolster America's economic prosperity and security.
