Donald Trump announced that upon his return to the White House, the United States would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, on the southern coast of the country, to the “Gulf of America”.
“We’re going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which sounds great and covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America, what a nice name“, declared the future American president during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, before castigating Mexico which “must stop letting millions of people pour into our country“.
Donald Trump also refused Tuesday to rule out the idea of using force to annex the Panama Canal and Greenlandclaiming that both were “very important for economic security” of the United States.
“I can’t assure you of either of them.“, the president-elect said during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, when asked about a possible use of armed forces to annex the canal, a vital artery of global maritime transport, and the autonomous territory of Denmark, after having repeatedly stated that he wanted to acquire them.
