Donald Trump launched a new controversial proposal that suggests that the state of New Mexico could be renamed "New America". This is not the first time the former president has proposed changes to geographic names in the United States.
The proposal came just days after Trump also advocated for changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America", which immediately generated adverse reactions from various sectors of American society.
Both cases are part of a broader set of initiatives aimed at replacing names that critics consider to have Spanish origins or Canadian place names with more traditionally American-inspired designations.
The suggestion to rename New Mexico and Lake Ontario is part of a broader trend of debates about toponymy and national identity in the United States, which has been generating controversy and public debate.
