Greene Proposes Renaming Gulf of Mexico

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her intention to introduce legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' following President-elect Donald Trump's proposal. Greene argues that the name change is necessary to assert U.S. sovereignty and address issues such as drug trafficking by Mexican cartels. Trump emphasized the rebranding as an assertion of American ownership, linking it to broader immigration and trade policies aimed at Mexico. The bill is expected to require congressional funding for changes in maps and military designations, although its viability remains uncertain. Greene's quick response reflects her allegiance to Trump's agenda, which he has framed as a bold assertion of national pride. This move has sparked debate, with critics questioning the practicality and motivations behind the proposal.
