Florida lawmakers and DeSantis could have a way to update state laws to change references from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The Legislature regularly passes what are known as "reviser's bills" that do such things as change terms in laws.

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 Trump said he will sign executive orders to change the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America and Mount Denali to Mount McKinley.

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

The order Trump signed instructs the Interior Department to update the Geographic Names Information System to reflect the renaming of the Gulf and remove all references to the Gulf of Mexico. It says all federal references to the Gulf of America, including on agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications shall reflect the renaming.

The deployment was ordered after the Trump administration signaled its intent to rename the Gulf of Mexico and moved quickly to fire the Coast Guard commandant.

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.

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 U.S. Coast Guard says it is deploying assets around maritime borders in support of President Donald Trump’s execute orders.

After President Donald Trump issued an executive order calling for the name change, a state representative introduced a bill to enshrine the change into state law.

Renaming it the Gulf of America would apply only in the US. And the long global history of disputed place names suggests it could be a brief experiment anyway.
