Trump Proposes Renaming New Mexico to 'New America' Amid Previous Geographic Name Changes
U.S. President Donald Trump shared a map on social media suggesting renaming the state of New Mexico to "New America," crossing out "Mexico" and replacing it with "America." This follows his previous renaming efforts, including changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America. New Mexico's governor rejected the proposal, emphasizing the state's historical name. Experts note that while federal geographic names can be altered by executive order, changing a state's legal name requires legislative action beyond the president's authority.
