President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is planning on renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." He made the statement while talking to press at his Mar-a-Lago residence, also addressing issues already dominating his agenda, like his intention to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland.
"We're going to be announcing at a future date. We do most of the work there, it's ours. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It covers a lot of territory, what a beautiful name. It's appropriate. Mexico has to stop millions of people to pour into our country. We're going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada," said Trump when discussing his intention.
