Florida Republican Rep. Greg Steube wants to rename the U.S. coastal waters after former President Donald Trump, the second attempt this year to christen federal property after the GOP’s 2024 presidential candidate.
The full-throated Trump loyalist from Florida introduced H.R. 8750 Friday to require any reference to the U.S. exclusive economic zone in official federal documents to be dubbed the Donald John Trump Exclusive Zone of the United States.
“During his time in office, President Trump took several commendable actions for our oceans as part of this work to make America strong, secure and economically prosperous,” Steube said in a statement.
The U.S. has the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, after France, covering 4.4 million square miles.
