I'm pretty sure the United States can't change the name of a body of water that's shared between multiple countries.

Someone forgot about the GuLf Of AmErIcA already

I didn't forget, but I'm pretty sure Trump has. I don't think he's talked about it in quite a while. I've never heard anybody actually call it the Gulf of America, and I live in the Deep South. I'm not sure it's even used by the departments in the executive branch. This will probably be a similar situation.
