President Donald Trump renews a call for New Mexico to change its name to “New America,” posting the demand on Truth Social and saying the state should act immediately. He argues that the change would remove “Mexico” from the name and emphasize that New Mexico is part of the United States.
The outlets describe the renewed push as part of a broader effort to rename geographic features using “America,” which Trump has linked to a previous decision affecting the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. Several sources note this is not the first time he has raised the idea and frame it as an ongoing fixation on remapping or rebranding the country.
Coverage also diverges on emphasis: some outlets foreground claims about potential benefits, including higher home values and added prestige, while others focus on the political timing and the fact that Trump addresses the proposal alongside comments about elections. Overall, the reports agree on what Trump says—his demand that New Mexico be renamed “New America”—and on the connection he draws to similar naming changes he has discussed elsewhere.
