US President Donald Trump announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico and claimed America would reclaim the Panama Canal.

President Donald Trump has been promising a flurry of executive action on Day 1, and even as he was being sworn in, there were executive orders already prepared for his signature.

Wresting back control of the Panama Canal, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and exiting from the Paris Agreement were three of the shipping takeaways in the first hours following the inauguration of Donald Trump yesterday as the 47th president of the United States.

President Donald Trump said in his inaugural address that he will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” repeating an idea he first brought up earlier this month during a news conference.

President-elect Donald Trump says he plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, because "it's ours." Who owns the Gulf?

President-elect Donald Trump plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” in one of his first executive orders, ABC News reports. Calling it a “beautiful improvement,” Trump announced the change during a press conference at Mar-A-Lago.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that the Gulf of Mexico will be getting a new name. "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. "The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name, and it's appropriate."

Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago that touched on foreign policy, including the Panana Canal, Greenland, Canada, and the Israel-Hamas war.

In an almost offhand digression Tuesday, president-elect Donald Trump idly mentioned he was going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

If President-elect Donald Trump was hoping to get attention by vowing to rename the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America, it worked.

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” a name he said has a “beautiful ring to it.”
