The Associated Press has weighed in on how it will respond to President Donald Trump’s executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the name of Alaska’s Denali back to Mount McKinley.

For nearly half a century, there’s been little thought about the name Congress gave to the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council — until now. On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an order to rename the waterbody to the “Gulf of America” on federal agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications.

Part of a legal description of a boundary line of Dixie County, for instance, says it goes "southerly down the thread of the main stream of said Suwannee River to the Gulf of Mexico; thence along said Gulf of Mexico, including the waters of said gulf within the jurisdiction of the State of Florida, to the mouth of the Steinhatchee River."

The owner of Gulfofamerica.com remains unknown but the website – it sells maps, globes and other gear – is registered to domain registrar NameBright.

Gov. Ron DeSantis may have been the first official to use President's Trump's new name for the Gulf of Mexico in an official capacity.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." "President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.

The resolution calls for state agencies to update official state maps, documents, educational materials, and any other communications to reflect the name change.

Mexican president says President Trump can call the gulf whatever he wants but that the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has an answer for President Donald Trump about his idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America:” he can call it whatever he wants on the American part of it.

Mr. DeSantis is trying to show his support for President Trump’s priorities on issues ranging from what to call the Gulf of Mexico to immigration to plans for mass deportation. However, it appears that after roughly six years of mostly having the GOP-controlled state legislature go along with his priorities, he is facing resistance.
