Thank you for the information.

I just saw some further detail about the strategic significance of Trump changing the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. It’s great insight and well worth the quick read, IMO. I just added an article to support…link at the bottom.
“In the interest of pointing out misinformation… In December 2023, there was a decision by the World Court that gave water above land shelves to their respective countries and ruled they were not international waters. The renaming of the Gulf of America isn’t renaming the whole Gulf. It is renaming the area above our land shelves as our territory. You can’t exactly put signs or border walls in the middle of the ocean. So for legal reasons, we need to identify these new changes on the map, so that new borders are made clear to maritime traffic. Those new maps will set the latitude and longitudes of where our border begins…or the Gulf of America…so all maritime traffic knows when they are leaving international waters. This is where knowing what is happening in the world, will help you filter out drama…and help you understand the legalities in your own country.
This had nothing to do with Trump’s ego; rather, he is strengthening our borders and making sure all maritime traffic understands the changes that happened in 2023. Putting legal protections in place to help us enforce any military actions or incursion in the future. Betting most of you never realized the US grew by thousands of miles because of this renaming.
Likewise some of this radical idea of buying Greenland and possibly Canada has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the Arctic Ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help Europe protect their borders from the Russian and Chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If Greenland is the territory of the US, but still their own country…like Puerto Rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around Greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help Europe, it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for NATO action to do anything. If we have the legal right to be there and legal right to protect Greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war. It makes it easier to help our Allies. Also, like it or not, Russia and China have been making plans to invade Greenland. I have been hearing they are trying to buy up land around harbors in several countries or eyeing what they can take by force.
So Trump is not crazy. Not being an egotistical dictator. He is trying to strengthen the U.S. and working to provide some checks and balances that strengthen our ability to help Allies and prevent another world war. A lot of countries are coming to the understanding, we are the lesser of the two evils. Media not so much…they have grown allergic to fact-checking, and understanding any complex issue and just become about stirring drama rather than reporting facts, all of the facts.”
: UPDATE: Below is an article about the change. Thanks for sharing that James Petty!
