Former President Trump has proposed renaming the U.S. state of New Mexico to New America, according to reports from Nashville Herald and Baton Rouge Post.

Trump's call for the name change is based on his assertion that the state should not be associated with Mexico, emphasizing a distinct American identity.

Both sources highlight this proposal as part of Trump's broader political messaging, though no official actions toward renaming have been reported yet.

The suggestion has drawn attention in political discussions about state identities and national symbolism in the United States.
