The US Coast Guard (USCG) has started referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a name change initiated by President Trump through executive orders during his initial days in office. Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, also adopted this new terminology in a winter storm executive order. Trump's orders highlight a desire to honor American greatness and require updates to federal databases to reflect this name change. While the order may facilitate domestic recognition of the Gulf's new name, international adherence remains uncertain.
The name change to 'Gulf of America' is pushed by Trump as part of a series of executive orders aimed at honoring American greatness, as stated in the order.
Despite the lack of formal international protocol, Trump's executive order aims for the US official documents to reflect 'Gulf of America' rather than 'Gulf of Mexico'.
