Trump suggests ‘Ocean of Americas’ as new name for Atlantic or Pacific
The president also floated the idea of naming an ocean after himself.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Trump’s suggestion of renaming an ocean, with the Washington Post and CNN agreeing that the proposal involves the Atlantic or Pacific. The framing diverges slightly: the Washington Post says he also floated naming an ocean after himself, while CNN describes the idea as being raised during a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee.
