During a press conference, President-elect Donald Trump proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America".
Trump stated that the renaming is justified as the U.S. does the majority of the work in the region and criticized Mexico for immigration issues.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated her intent to draft legislation to facilitate this change.
The Gulf of Mexico is a vital body of water, significant for its economic impact, including a large portion of U.S. seafood supply and oil refining.
Previous attempts to rename the Gulf have been met with skepticism, with notable mentions from both Stephen Colbert and a former Mississippi State Rep.
