Trump posts map renaming New Mexico to 'New America'

President Donald Trump shared a Truth Social post featuring a map that renames New Mexico as 'New America', a move CNN notes would not legally rename a state and would require state action. The White House reposted the image, but there was no official government announcement. This follows Trump’s earlier hint at renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' via an executive order, and his broader interest in renaming geographic features. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Sen. Martin Heinrich pushed back, saying New Mexico’s name isn’t up for debate while noting the real name history and importance of the state.
