‘TRUMP STRAIT’: U.S. president floats renaming Strait of Hormuz
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported27m ago
U.S. President Donald Trump has floated the idea of renaming the strategic Strait of Hormuz to the "Trump Strait." The proposal coincides with repeated assertions by the Trump administration that the United States maintains control over the vital waterway, claims that have been explicitly denied by Iranian officials.
According to reports, the renaming proposal reflects a pattern seen with previous nomenclature adjustments by the U.S. President, such as referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." While these initiatives often begin as seemingly jovial remarks, analysts note that the President has previously followed through to make such name changes a reality.
