The North American President Donald Trump has demonstrated an obsession with altering geographic names, suggesting changes in places such as New Mexico and having already proceeded with official alterations for federal use.
Among the changes already implemented are the redesignation of the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America and Lake Ontario as Lake Erie, in an attempt to rename symbols and geographic references.
These alterations are part of a broader set of measures that Trump has been taking since the beginning of his term, including the change of the name of the highest peak in North America, formerly known as Denali, to Mount McKinley.
The strategy of renaming places appears to be a priority for the Trump administration, which has sought to make its mark through symbolic changes to internationally recognized geographic elements.
