Trump Executive Order renames Gulf of Mexico

Poor Richard Saunders said:
I see. So unless Trump allows for the use of the name Gulf of Mexico in US documents then all the ongoing leases would be null and void since there would no longer be something called the Gulf of Mexico. I can't wait to see Trump's reaction if a court rules that the Gulf of Mexico is the correct name in order to enforce the leases.

You do raise an interesting point. Brandon just tied up and banned oil exploration and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
That no longer exists so............................
Drill baby Drill in the gulf of America.

Brandon forced Trump to rename the Gulf. lol
 
Poor Richard Saunders said:
The problem isn't my map. The problem is that all US documents that reference the Gulf will need to be rewritten and republished.

The Board shall provide guidance to ensure all federal references to the Gulf of America, including on agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications shall reflect its renaming.

How many millions of dollars are going to be wasted on this petty act?

Don't worry Biden already printed enough to cover it.
 
Poor Richard Saunders said:
Are you saying that ongoing oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico won't require change to the documents referring to them as now being in the Gulf of America? If the document says the Gulf of Mexico and there is no Gulf of Mexico then wouldn't the lease be null and void? How about any treaties that reference the Gulf of Mexico?

Or are you saying, we just need to only name it the Gulf of America in documents that Trump sees?

What I'm saying is you lost bitch and elections have consequences. Deal with it chump.
 
I didn't hear any of you crybaby bitches whining about cost when Big Mike's wife renamed Mt. McKinley.

Now you can just go fuck yourselves.

One of Trump's first actions was to attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.
www.whitehouse.gov www.whitehouse.gov

(b) As such, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall, consistent with 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, take all appropriate actions to rename as the “Gulf of America” the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.

What a waste of time and money. The EO also calls for replacing everyone appointed to U.S. Board on Geographic Names within 7 days.

I'm surprised he hasn't designated that the government create a US Board of Food Names so that he can rename French Fries to Freedom Fries.

That does not constitute it being renamed. It holds no force of law or what people will call it or how it will appear on maps.

enormous waste of money. and has no effect on inter n national usage and maps. Just means a bunch of books and maps, etc., in the US will have to be revised and reprinted st the taxpayer expense. so much for DOGE

Actually pretty comical, so now are all the textbooks used in the US going to be recalled and reprinted? Think of all the tourist signage in Florida that directs people. The MAGA locals who are now going to get into petty arguements when others refer to as Gulf of Mexico. Not to mention the world certainly isn’t going to waste time and money rebranding a body of water. It’s just too funny

Only Trump could turn a body of water into a political controversy

And a waste of taxpayer money.
 
i guess it will be easy to tell if a map was made in the US.

If it has a "Gulf of America", it was printed here. If it says "Gulf of Mexico" it was printed anywhere else.

We would be the only ones to called it "The Gulf of America".

Mapmakers will not change what they call it.
