President Donald Trump issued an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Florida has become the first state to officially refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," following President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to adopt the new name.

Among the first executive orders set to be signed by President Donald Trump will be an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." The plan will be enacted "a short time from now," Trump said during his inaugural address at the Capitol Rotunda on Monday.
