President Donald Trump signed an executive order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” repeating an idea he first brought up earlier this month during a news conference.“America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world,” he said in his inauguration speech. “A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.”It's his latest suggestion to redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere. Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as the “51st State,” demanded that Denmark consider ceding Greenland, and called for Panama to return the Panama Canal. Trump also spoke about taking back the vital waterway during his inaugural speech.
