Gov. Ron DeSantis may have been the first official to use President's Trump's new name for the Gulf of Mexico in an official capacity.

Mexican president says President Trump can call the gulf whatever he wants but that the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

The order Trump signed instructs the Interior Department to update the Geographic Names Information System to reflect the renaming of the Gulf and remove all references to the Gulf of Mexico. It says all federal references to the Gulf of America, including on agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications shall reflect the renaming.

The U.S. Coast Guard says it is deploying assets around maritime borders in support of President Donald Trump’s executive orders.

Renaming it the Gulf of America would apply only in the US. And the long global history of disputed place names suggests it could be a brief experiment anyway.
