Mapmakers and teachers are re-thinking what to call the gulf of water between Mexico, the United States and Cuba after President Donald Trump ordered it renamed from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." "President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.

The UK will continue to call the body of water the Gulf of Mexico unless DonaldTrump’s plan to rename it catches on in English-speaking countries
