Gulf of America Day, 2025

We dissect the implications of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, exploring the motivations behind the order, the potential impact on international relations with Mexico and Cuba, and the broader context of "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness." Was this a purely symbolic gesture, or does it signal a deeper shift in American policy and identity? Join us as we analyze the proclamation and its potential ramifications.
