US President Donald Trump appeared to suggest renaming New Mexico as “New America” after sharing an altered map image on Truth Social. The White House reshared the post but announced no formal move. State leaders rejected the idea, while legal experts noted that changing a state’s name would require action within the state.
After ‘Lake America’, Trump Appears To Set Sights On New Mexico’s Name
US President Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to suggest that New Mexico should be renamed “New America”, days after signing an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America”.
Trump posted an image on Truth Social showing the outline of New Mexico with the word “Mexico” crossed out in red and replaced with “America”. The White House later reshared the image on X, but neither Trump nor the White House offered an explanation.
The White House has not announced any formal effort to rename New Mexico.
