In President Donald Trump effort to rename everything he sees his opportunity to rename another prominent body of water.
Donald Trump Plans to Rename Another Gulf.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday, May 7, that two senior White House officials have confirmed that — during his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia— Trump plans to announce that the U.S. will officially be updating its lexicon to call the Persian Gulf the “Arabian Gulf” or the “Gulf of Arabia.”
While the U.S. military has referred to the body of water as the Arabian Gulf for years, the Persian Gulf name is more common among American civilians. For users in the United States, Google Maps currently lists the name as “Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf),” while Apple Maps solely displays it as the “Persian Gulf.”
Here is the list of renamings Trump intends to do.
Gulf of Mexico becomes Gulf of America Persian Gulf becomes Gulf of Arabia November 11, Veterans Day becomes Victory Day for World War I May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II Denali, federally designated as Mount McKinley
