DeSantis Recognizes Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America' Amid Winter Weather Threat in North Florida
Jan 20, 2025, 11:18 PM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued an executive order recognizing the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' aligning with President Donald Trump's proposal to rename the body of water. The executive order was issued in response to an incoming winter weather system expected to impact North Florida, and it uses the term 'Gulf of America' to describe the area of low pressure moving across the region. This move by DeSantis comes even before Trump had taken any presidential action to officially rename the Gulf, indicating a proactive stance in adopting the new terminology.
