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.

      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

        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.
