Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to demand that Congress use "force" in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Summary

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is pushing legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, arguing the U.S. military and taxpayers secure the region, making it “our gulf.”

Greene shared the proposal text on social media, calling for federal agencies to adopt the name change.

She linked the renaming effort to combatting Mexican cartel activity in the Gulf.

Trump supported the name change in a 2024 executive order, but there has been no indication of international adoption, including by the UK.

    while I get the sentiment, it’s common to call Deutchland “Germany,” “Allemagne” (or similar sounding) “Tiskland” or “Xīdé” depending on your language. A lot of languages have a variant similar to

    Nyeh + mass + ka

    No place really has a set “name.”
