On the 6th local time, US President Trump posted on social media that many people proposed changing the name of New Mexico to the “New American State” and that he likes this kind of proposal. In response, New Mexico Governor and Democrat Michelle Grisham said that Trump's proposal to change the name of New Mexico was to divert Americans' attention from issues such as soaring oil prices. Grisham said that there is nothing to argue about the name of New Mexico; it was the name before the United States was founded.
