Trump’s oceans? US President wants to rename either Atlantic or Pacific
Donald Trump said he now wanted to change the name of a river and an ocean before leaving office in 2028.
US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to rename either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, along with a river, before the conclusion of his tenure in 2029, according to the Washington Post. The potential name options include "Ocean of the Americas" or "Trump Ocean" for the ocean, and "Trump River" for the river. Trump made these remarks during a campaign rally in Clarksville, Tennessee.
The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario to "Lake America" have already been implemented by Google and Apple following government designations, which sparked diplomatic tensions with Mexico and Canada, respectively. Trump has also previously suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait." This time, he ruled out renaming the Mississippi and Hudson Rivers.
