- U.S. President Donald Trump suggested renaming New Mexico “New America” in a social media post showing the word “Mexico” crossed out on a map of the state.
- Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham rejected the idea.
Donald Trump has apparently turned his attention to New Mexico. A post by the U.S. president showed a map of the southwestern state with “Mexico” crossed out and replaced by “America,” suggesting the name could become “New America.”
The proposal follows Trump’s earlier renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and a lake on the border with Canada, according to the article.
New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, firmly rejected the idea. The article does not provide further details about any formal renaming proposal.
