Why has the Gulf of Mexico been renamed to the 'Gulf of America'?

According to the White House Press Representative, the body of water off the coast of Louisiana is now officially called the 'Gulf of America.' The spokesperson presents this as an established fact, despite apparent resistance from news outlets that continue using the traditional name. While expressing confusion about media reluctance to adopt the new terminology, the representative firmly asserts the name change as reality, stating 'that is what it is.' This controversial renaming appears to be creating tension between government communications and media organizations, raising questions about press freedom and information accuracy.
