**President Trump’s recent executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” on August 27, 2026, followed his 2025 order changing the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” both limited to federal records via the Interior Department and Geographic Names Information System.** In remarks after the signing, Trump jokingly referenced needing “an ocean” next and floated renaming the Atlantic or Pacific, but no executive action, formal proposal, or timeline was announced, and multiple reports described the comments as humorous rather than indicative of intent. Renaming international oceans faces significant barriers under established procedures and international norms, as U.S. authority applies only to federal usage and does not extend to shared maritime spaces or require global adoption. Traders’ strong consensus against the outcome in 2026 aligns with the lack of any scheduled process, legislative involvement, or follow-through on the ocean suggestion amid ongoing trade tensions with Canada.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump issues any executive order to, or signs any bill into law to, or otherwise takes action to officially rename any ocean by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."
For the purposes of this market, the oceans are defined as: the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern/Antarctic Ocean.
Officially renaming any one of these five oceans is sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of the new name chosen. Renaming a subdivision of one of these oceans, such as the North Atlantic Ocean or the South Pacific Ocean, will also qualify.
If the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) renames any of the five oceans accordingly this will qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Renaming any other body of water, including any sea, gulf, bay, strait, channel, or lake, will not qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
This market's resolution source will be official information from the Trump administration or the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, however a consensus of credible reporting stating that the US Government has renamed one of the five oceans will suffice.**President Trump’s recent executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” on August 27, 2026, followed his 2025 order changing the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” both limited to federal records via the Interior Department and Geographic Names Information System.** In remarks after the signing, Trump jokingly referenced needing “an ocean” next and floated renaming the Atlantic or Pacific, but no executive action, formal proposal, or timeline was announced, and multiple reports described the comments as humorous rather than indicative of intent.
