Trump Suggests Renaming New Mexico ‘New America’ — Sep 6, 2026President Donald Trump has floated or shared maps and posts suggesting renaming places such as New Mexico to 'New America,' alongside prior and ongoing actions that rename other geographical names like the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' and Lake Ontario to 'Lake America,' drawing mixed reactions and prompting fact-checks. He has also posted a flag-style graphic labeling strategic waterways, such as the Strait of Hormuz as 'New U.S. Territory,' amid ongoing debate over the seriousness, legality, and diplomatic implications of these moves.

Trump floats renaming Strait of Hormuz to 'Trump Strait' amid Iran tensions — Sep 3, 2026Trump is pushing to rename the Strait of Hormuz as the “Trump Strait” amid ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, a move echoed by social posts and a redrawn map as part of broader renaming stunts that have included the Gulf of Mexico becoming the “Gulf of America.” Analysts say the renaming is unlikely to take effect given the Strait’s non-U.S. status and the real military and diplomatic tensions surrounding the region.
