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.
@MicroWave I’m rather impressed with the UK on this. I had expected them to cave immediately.
Brit here. Same. Especially the English.
Fuck it I’m in favour of renaming some of our bodies of water after Mexico just on principal. We’ve got a lot of lochs up here in Scotland, one of them can be Loch Mexico. Or Loch Meagsago to fit Gaelic spelling
No argument from me. Should imagine it will annoy Trump which makes it all the sweeter.
Or whatever the Gaelic would be for Loch Me Cago en el Boca de Trump. Especially if it’s adjacent to one of his golf courses.
This is a good opportunity for Starmer to show some resolve. He’s also been very sound so far on supporting Ukraine while some of the other allies are being fickle.
