The White House amplified President Donald Trump's suggestion to rebrand the state of New Mexico as "New America", reposting a Truth Social image in which "Mexico" was crossed out and replaced with "America". Neither Trump's original post nor the White House's repost offered any explanation or confirmed whether this reflects a genuine policy proposal, and no formal renaming effort has been announced. The move follows a pattern of Trump-driven renaming gestures, but unlike geographic features, a US state's name cannot be changed by presidential action alone.

The post came days after Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America" for federal use amid US-Canada trade tensions, directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to update official naming records, with Google and Apple subsequently updating their maps. Trump had earlier renamed the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" via executive order. New Mexico's name dates back to Spanish explorers' use of "Nuevo México" in the late 1500s, predating US statehood, which was granted on 6 January 1912; the White House and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
