Trump Suggests Renaming New Mexico to 'New America' on Social Media
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Former President Donald Trump stirred controversy by suggesting on his Truth Social platform that New Mexico be renamed "Nueva América." He shared an edited map where "Mexico" is crossed out and replaced with "America." While this sparked immediate reactions, the name change is not official and would require a different legal process. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham responded firmly, stating that the name has historical significance and is not up for debate. She criticized Trump's focus on renaming rather than addressing pressing issues like rising gas prices and healthcare access, emphasizing her administration's priorities in the state.
