Lima, OH, October 11, 2026 — President Donald Trump has recently suggested altering the names of major bodies of water, specifically mentioning the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean as potential candidates for renaming. According to the information available, proposed new names included “Trump Ocean” and “Ocean of the Americans.”
This suggestion follows a pattern of the President using executive authority to rename geographical features. Past instances include executive actions taken to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
However, President Trump also indicated that certain other significant waterways would not be subject to such changes. Specifically, he stated that he would not alter the names of the Hudson River or the Mississippi River.
