Trump suggests renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America”

Understand that " R " is silent to maintain good tradition of NOR-USA relationships and cooperation in "some " matters :wink:

PS> Not entirely accurate, Leif Eirikson (aka Leif the lucky) was living in Greenland, which was a Norwegian “colony” at the time. (As was Iceland)

Except for the fact that Project 2025 comes from the Heritage Foundation, not President Trump. Not saying Trump might be agreeable to parts of it, still it is not his. Like the “Green New Deal”, do Democrats really like that mess?

In disputed ukrainian oblasts a referendum was made and those who wanted close ties to mother Russia won.

This can be arranged in Greenland as well and Putin will not blink an eye, neither will he protest or object . As to EU…well Victoria Nuland alredy has paved a way what to do or think abt EU and it starts with letter “F” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
