Trump Shares Map Renaming New Mexico as ‘New America,’ Days After ‘Trump Strait’ and ‘Lake America’ Uproar

It also follows Trump signing an Executive Order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America” on Aug. 27, amid a widening trade war with Canada. The change was met with widespread disapproval from both U.S. lawmakers and Canadian politicians, who vowed Lake Ontario will continue to be called by that name.

The order applies to U.S. federal references of the lake and does not determine how Canada—or others—refer to the body of water. U.S. users of Google Maps and Apple Maps, however, will notice the change reflected.

Trump has often turned to name changes as a show of power and a way to undermine his perceived adversaries.

After returning to the White House last year, Trump signed an Executive Order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” The name has since been used by federal agencies and departments to refer to the sea south of the U.S., and was updated for U.S. users on Google Maps and Apple Maps.
