Trump is considering renaming the Strait of Hormuz in his honor.

US President Donald Trump is considering renaming the Strait of Hormuz , a key route for global oil supplies, if the United States gains control of it.

The New York Post , citing sources in the administration, previously discussed the idea of calling it the “American Strait.”

At the same time, Trump himself, according to sources, allows for the possibility of naming the airport in his honor.

In particular, during a speech at an investment forum in Miami, he ironically stated that the strait could be called the “Trump Strait,” immediately joking about possible accusations of a “mistake.”

The idea of renaming the site is being actively discussed on social media, particularly after a fake post allegedly published by Trump on Truth Social was circulated. This post, which turned out to be fictitious, quickly gained popularity among users.

Despite this, as the publication notes, such initiatives are not unprecedented—the US has previously changed official geographic names, adding new political weight to the debate around the Strait of Hormuz.
