The Republican-led House has passed a bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and direct federal agencies to update their documents and maps to incorporate the new name.

Washington — The House on Thursday passed a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," which would codify an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said her proposal to use the name Gulf of America would spark “pride” and codify President Donald Trump’s agenda.
