Speaking to supporters in South Carolina, Trump spoke of his desire to rename the river and ocean:

- We're looking for a river, I'd like a big one. And of the oceans, I only like two oceans: the Atlantic and the Pacific. I’m not going to call Trump or America any ocean other than these two. So we took a serious look at the Atlantic Ocean, and I called Google Maps, and they did a great job of [renaming] Lake [Ontario to Lake America], just great. And I spoke to the brilliant man Sundar. He runs the entire Google company. He's a brilliant person, [Google co-founder] Sergey [Brin] and Sundar are brilliant people, and I said, Sundar, I'm thinking about the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it? "No, no, no. I won't do that this time. You know, they cover a lot of countries. Please do not ask us to do so.” So I'll probably say no.

Trump continued:

- Should I refuse? I think let's leave the Atlantic, right? The Pacific? Shall we call it the American Ocean? How do you think Europe will react? Do you think they'll like it? [EC President] Ursula [von der Leyen] will call and say, "Oh, thank you very much!"

Earlier, the US president signed decrees according to which the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario were renamed the American Gulf and Lake America respectively. The regulations change how the federal government and federal maps mention these places. But Trump's successors as president could sign executive orders reversing those changes.
