He has already renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
US President Donald Trump on Saturday floated the idea of renaming an ocean — either the Atlantic or the Pacific.
“We’ll call it the Trump Ocean or the Ocean of the Americas, or something like that,” Trump said to laughter from some attendees, writes The Washington Post. “Before I go, I think we should have an ocean. And we need a big river.”
Last year, Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, which caused diplomatic tension with Mexico, a conflict with the Associated Press agency after the media refused to use the new name, and other misunderstandings.
In August, Trump also renamed Lake Ontario, which lies between New York and Canada, as Lake America. This move came amidst a dispute with Canadian leaders over trade and tariffs.
The US President can use executive powers to rename bodies of water and other geographical features. Private companies that offer online maps have generally adopted Trump's new names.
