Trump floats renaming Atlantic or Pacific Ocean ‘Trump Ocean’

Washington, Oct 11 (UNI) US President Donald Trump floated the idea of renaming either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean “Trump Ocean” or “Ocean of the Americas”, extending his efforts to attach new names to major geographical landmarks after renaming the Gulf of Mexico and proposing a new name for Lake Ontario.
“We’ve got the gulf. We’ve got a beautiful lake,” Trump said at a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee. “Now, somebody said, you need a river. … We need a river. We need an ocean.”
Trump then suggested renaming one of the two major oceans. “So I was thinking, if either the Atlantic or the Pacific, we call it Trump Ocean or Ocean of the Americas, something like that,” he said.
He also indicated that he wanted a major river to be renamed before leaving office, according to media reports.
Trump last year renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a move that sparked diplomatic tensions with Mexico.
In August 2026, he also signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario, which lies along the US-Canada border, as Lake America, amid trade tensions with Ottawa.
The latest proposal follows Trump's repeated suggestions to change the names of major geographical features.UNI AAB
