Britain will not recognise Trump's new name for Gulf of Mexico
TELEGRAPH.CO.UK
'Gulf of America'
SUMMARY

Britain will not rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, despite Donald Trump's order. The UK will maintain its current terminology unless the new name gains widespread use among English speakers. Trump instructed a name change shortly after taking office, claiming the gulf "is ours." However, he cannot unilaterally change the name internationally, as the gulf is bordered by the US, Mexico, and Cuba. Mexico has already objected, asserting, "For us, it is still the Gulf of Mexico." Controversy may arise at the UN regarding the name change.
