For more than four centuries, the body of water stretching from Florida through Texas and into Mexico has been known as the Gulf of Mexico. But in a matter of weeks, President Donald Trump and White House officials have sought to rewrite the map by calling it the Gulf of America - and insisting others do the same.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared that it's no longer the Gulf of Mexico, now it's the Gulf of America.

Associated Press journalists have been blocked from places like the Oval Office and Air Force One because the organization has declined to use the term ‘Gulf of America.’
