Renaming the Gulf: Legal, Political, and Diplomatic Implications of the ‘Gulf of America’ Initiative
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14172, directing federal agencies to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" in all official U.S. government usage . This action, part of a broader initiative to "restore American pride," has sparked significant legal, political, and diplomatic debates.
“The Gulf will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping America’s future and the global economy,” President Trump stated, “and in recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our Nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America.”
