Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to demand that Congress use "force" in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Summary

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is pushing legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, arguing the U.S. military and taxpayers secure the region, making it “our gulf.”

Greene shared the proposal text on social media, calling for federal agencies to adopt the name change.

She linked the renaming effort to combatting Mexican cartel activity in the Gulf.

Trump supported the name change in a 2024 executive order, but there has been no indication of international adoption, including by the UK.

    The Gulf of America.

    If you think about it, it actually makes sense. We’d be staking a claim to something we have no right to and we’ve filled it with garbage and oil. We’ve done so much damage to it, that it’s barely recognizable compared to 100 years ago.

    It’s pretty much Water USA.

    If y’all have any other bodies of water you think should be named after us, go ahead and do it! A puddle with a dead bird in it, your toilet, your uncle’s piss-filled pants after he passed out from too many beers. USA! USA! USA!
