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.

    I think the only reason they have it and tried this yet is they simply haven’t thought about it. I guarantee you if Trump were to read that comment, first of all he wouldn’t understand the sarcasm, and would on ironically try and do that.
