Trump says Europe will be ‘thrilled’ by his Atlantic Ocean rename idea

But this time he has something different in his mind.Speaking at a rally in Mississippi, Trump reaffirmed the idea of renaming the Atlantic Ocean with “American Ocean,” while noting the US already renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America for domestic use.

Now America must have a river and ocean.Trump said, “I’m thinking we call the Atlantic Ocean – the American Ocean – Europe will be thrilled.”At the same time, he promised that he would not rename the Mississippi river.

This is not the first time that the President floated the idea of renaming the ocean.At a Georgia campaign rally last week, Donald Trump claimed he asked tech executives to rename either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean the "Trump Ocean."According to Trump, the representatives of Google flatly refused, telling him, "We've had it.

That's enough.

We're not doing any more.""Sir, look, okay, this one we can't do.

Oceans are different.

Oceans cover many, many countries.

We can't do it," Trump quoted them as saying.Last year, Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” followed by Lake Ontario which he renamed Lake America in August 2026.

Trump says Europe will be ‘thrilled’ by his Atlantic Ocean rename idea October 27, 2026.
