The White House had not announced a formal effort to change the state’s name.
Later Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “many people suggested changing the name of New Mexico” to “NEW AMERICA.”
The post follows other geographic renaming efforts by Trump, including changing the federal government’s name for the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and, more recently, Lake Ontario to Lake America.
