Trump calls on New Mexico to change its name to 'New America'

President Trump has publicly called on the state of New Mexico to change its name to "New America," arguing that the state should reflect the broader national identity rather than sharing a name with Mexico.

This demand follows previous actions by the president to alter geographic designations, including changing the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario to incorporate "America." In advocating for the state name change, Trump emphasized the distinction by stating, "We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America."
