Trump announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the \u201cGulf of America\u201d and promised to take back control of the Panama Canal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking to a crowd of supporters at the U.S. Capitol after taking the oath of office, Trump described the Gulf of Mexico\u2019s current name as a relic of the past. \u201cFrom this day forward, we will call it the Gulf of America, a name that reflects our pride and sovereignty,\u201d Trump declared, sparking cheers from the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump also turned his focus to the Panama Canal, a key trade route transferred to Panama in 1999 under the terms of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. Describing the handover as a \u201cfoolish gift,\u201d Trump claimed the arrangement had undermined U.S. interests and accused China of exploiting the canal\u2019s strategic significance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cChina is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn\u2019t give it to China. We gave it to Panama. And we\u2019re taking it back,\u201d Trump said, without providing details on how his administration plans to address the issue. The remarks mark a return to Trump\u2019s America-first rhetoric, which emphasizes reclaiming U.S. dominance in global affairs. However, analysts warn that such sweeping proposals could strain diplomatic ties and provoke international disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFrom this day forward, we will call it the Gulf of America, a name that reflects our pride and sovereignty,\u201d Trump declared, sparking cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":433,"featured_media":62049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24391,2043,168,20038,9901,24387],"class_list":["post-62048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-47th-u-s-president","tag-china-us-relations","tag-donald-trump","tag-gulf-of-mexico","tag-panama","tag-u-s-capitol"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
