It is not a country. So there is nothing like a UN defined name. So no one can force any country to name it the way they want. Don’t think it’s Trump decision Maybe the U.S. Board on Geographic Names?
Like you call it Persian Gulf, other countries call it Gulf of Arabia, and Turkey actually even calls it Gulf of Basra. (Btw, you legally have to call it Türkiye nowadays. It actually “changed it’s birth certificate” at the UN. Doubt you care about that.)
It’s still called “the Gulf of Mexico.”
Some dumb bully gave it a dumb nickname and they’re acting like he legally changed it’s birth certificate.

Do you call it the “Gulf of America”?
Nope. In non of my languages is that the official name. But tbf, I am not sure if I ever called it anything. It is quite far away from here.
What did I miss? I haven’t heard anything about a new name.
Trump tried to rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America.
What a fuckwad
It’s pretty funny tbh, I’m waaaay too politically fatigued to get bent out of shape over things like that.
