New Geopolitical Claims: Trump Wants to Rename Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America

The US President-elect is also already negotiating the Panama Canal, which he intends to return to US control.

US President-elect Donald Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” He announced this during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago.

“We’re going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It’s got a nice ring. It covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America – what a nice name. And it’s appropriate,” Trump said.

He also repeated his call for Mexico to help stop illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border and promised to impose tariffs on Mexico.

Panama Canal Claims

In addition, Trump did not rule out using the military to establish control over the Panama Canal and Greenland. Thus, when asked directly whether he would rule out using “military or economic coercion” to achieve his goal of conquering these territories, the newly elected president answered “no”:

“No, I can’t assure you, but I can say that we need them for economic security.”

The United States’ “Acquisition” of Canada

Later, when asked whether he would also use the military against Canada, which he had previously said the United States would acquire, Trump replied: “No, (just) economic force.”

  1. Later, when asked whether he would also use the military against Canada, which he had previously said the United States would acquire, Trump replied: “No, (just) economic force.”

    And an economic war with Canada, till they surrender and become the 51th state of America.

  2. So, he is prepared to wage hot war against Denmark and Panama and economic war against Canada.
    Well at least fellow imperialist putler will be pleased that his friend is helping him in this unexpected way.
    Everyone else will be wondering if RFK Jr’s brainworm has now entered Trumpkov’s already infected brain.

  3. Instead of renaming places and threatening neighbours, maybe Trump should be asking why the US has a trade deficit with 25 of its top 30 trading partners. I think the US will be in for a world of hurt if they apply tariffs to every country they have a trade deficit with.

    • Trump can rename it what he wants, it doesn’t mean to say any country will recognise it. The French call the English Channel, La Manche, but no other country calls it that.

  4. Make America Great Again, now we know what it means. Hitler had the same dream, Make Germany Great Again, Putinka the same, Make Russia Great Again, Xi, Make China Great Again.

  5. He made this pressco in the middle of the funeral of Jimmy Carter. Very subtile……………..as always.
