Trump suggests changing name of Strait of Hormuz to "Trump Strait"

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 17:47

President of the United States Donald Trump suggested changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz to "Trump Strait". The suggestion was made publicly and drew international attention.

This is not the first time Trump has proposed changes to geographic names. Just a few days earlier, Trump had signed an executive order to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America", also generating controversy and debate.

The Strait of Hormuz is a waterway of extreme strategic and economic importance, located between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. The region is known for being one of the main oil transport routes worldwide.

The suggestion to rename the Strait of Hormuz was received with surprise and skepticism by international analysts, who questioned the viability and purpose of such a change, especially considering that it involves international waters and a name with deep historical roots.
