Trump Proposes Renaming New Mexico as 'New America' Amid Previous Geographic Changes
President Donald Trump shared a map on Truth Social suggesting renaming New Mexico as 'New America' by crossing out 'Mexico' in the state's name. This follows his previous executive orders renaming landmarks like the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America amid trade tensions. The renaming claim for New Mexico was debunked as a hoax originating from a satirical account. Democratic lawmakers criticized the suggestion, emphasizing the state's cultural and historical significance.
