在第一批签署的行政命令中唐纳德·特朗普总统是将墨西哥湾重新命名为“美国湾”的命令
“特朗普总统正在给政府带来常识，并重振美国文明的支柱，”这位新上任的总统的行政命令说。
特朗普还呼吁将阿拉斯加20，000英尺高的德纳里山归还给麦金利山，这是前总统巴拉克·奥巴马在2015年改变它之前的名字。
特朗普的行政命令要求美国内政部长改变联邦地图上的名称。
他已经任命前北达科他州州长道格·伯根担任这一职务。
特朗普在1月份的Mar-a-Lago新闻发布会上宣称他会改名字，称海湾目前由卡特尔控制，“它是我们的”
“我们将把墨西哥湾的名字改为美国湾，它有一个美丽的环，覆盖了大片领土，美国湾，”特朗普当时说。“多美的名字。而且很合适。很合适。墨西哥必须停止允许数百万人涌入我们的国家。”
总统确实有权重新命名地理区域和特征，但这需要通过行政命令来完成。
美国地名委员会通常对地理名称拥有管辖权。
墨西哥湾是北美最大和最重要的水体之一。它是世界上第九大水体，覆盖约60万平方英里。
根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)的数据，美国一半的石油提炼和天然气加工能力位于墨西哥湾沿岸，根据环境保护基金(Environmental Defense Fund)的数据，美国约40%的海产品来自墨西哥湾。
特朗普周一就职后，佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)发布了一项关于该州冬季天气的行政命令，该命令已经将墨西哥湾称为“美国湾”。
在提到周二开始可能影响该州的天气系统时，德桑蒂斯的行政命令说，“一个低压区穿过美国湾，与北极空气相互作用，将为佛罗里达州北部带来广泛影响的冬季天气。”
“对我们和整个世界来说，它仍然是墨西哥湾，”墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·申鲍姆周二在回应特朗普的各种法令时说。
Trump renames Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' among 1st executive orders
Among the first executive orders signed byPresident Donald Trumpwas an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America."
"President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.
Trump also called for Alaska’s 20,000-foot mountain, Denali, to be reverted back to Mount McKinley, which was its name before former President Barack Obama had it changed in 2015.
Trump's executive order calls for the U.S. secretary of the interior to change the names on federal maps.
He has appointed former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for the position.
During his January press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump declaredhe would change the name, saying the gulf is currently run by cartels and that "it's ours."
"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America," Trump said at the time. "What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country."
Presidents do have the authority to rename geographic regions and features, but it needs to be done via executive order.
The U.S. Board of Geographic Names typically has the jurisdiction for geographic names.
The Gulf of Mexico is one of the largest and most important bodies of water in North America. It's the ninth-largest body of water in the world and covers some 600,000 square miles.
Half of the U.S. petroleum refining and natural gas processing capacity is located along the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and it supplies about 40% of the nation's seafood, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
Following Trump's inauguration on Monday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on winter weather in the state that already refers to the gulf as the "Gulf of America."
While referring to a weather system that could impact the state beginning Tuesday, DeSantis' executive order said, "An area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida."
"For us and the whole world, it is still the Gulf of Mexico," Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday in a response to Trump's various decrees.
