Proclamation 10894 of February 9, 2025
Gulf of America Day, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025,
as the first ever Gulf of America Day.
On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172
(``Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness'').
Among other actions, that Executive Order required the
Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C.
364 through 364f, to ``take all appropriate actions to
rename as the `Gulf of America' the U.S. Continental
Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and
northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the
seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area
formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.''
I took this action because, as stated in that order,
``[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has
long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning
Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.''
Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of
America since its renaming. As my Administration seeks
to restore American pride in the history of American
greatness, I think it is fitting and appropriate for
our great Nation to come together and commemorate this
momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of
America.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim February 9, 2025, as
Gulf of America Day. I call upon public officials and
all the people of the United States to observe this day
with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
