President Trump noted that the waterway is now under U.S.A. control and suggested the new name would be 'hotter' than ever before. This proposal follows a previous plan by President Trump to declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory. The potential name change follows previous instances where President Trump renamed other bodies of water, such as the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America.
