Lake, airport, gulf and even Ormuz: See places that have already been renamed by Trump and projects bearing his name

oglobo3 September 2026 at 04:00

The wave of name changes promoted by American President Donald Trump has already altered the names of places and institutions in the United States and generated diplomatic disputes with other countries, such as Canada and Mexico. Some of these initiatives have been implemented, while others remain in the realm of proposals.

Among the projects still under discussion is the idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz after the president himself. The suggestion was raised by Trump on Wednesday, amid the escalation of the conflict between Washington and Tehran and the dispute over control of this strategic sea passage.

The article is exclusive for subscribers and does not provide further details about which specific locations have already been renamed or which projects have been implemented, limiting itself to reporting that the wave of changes has national and international scope.

However, this latest change in the plenary does not seem to open, at least for now, the door to a negotiation to approve the 2026 municipal budget, presented at the beginning of the year by the PP executive (which governs in minority with eight councilors) and which continues without the necessary support for its approval.
