President Donald Trump posted a map on social media suggesting that New Mexico be renamed New America. The suggestion appeared to be the latest in the president's efforts to alter geographic names. The post, shared on Truth Social, featured a map of the United States with the label New America replacing New Mexico.

This move follows previous attempts by the administration to rename geographic features, such as the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Critics argue the proposal ignores the state's history and cultural significance. New Mexico, admitted to the Union in 1912, has a distinct identity shaped by Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo cultures.

The White House has not issued a formal statement on the proposal.
