Florida Lawmakers Push to Rename Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America'
Florida's Republican-controlled legislature is advancing a proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.' The move aligns with a Trump-era executive order aimed at emphasizing American identity in geographic names. Lawmakers have taken initial steps to update state laws and educational materials to reflect the proposed change. Supporters argue the change promotes patriotism, while critics see it as unnecessary and politically motivated. The proposal is still in its early stages and would require further legislative approval before becoming official.
