From Gulf of Mexico to Persian Gulf: Trump's name-change diplomacy stirs global tides

In a move echoing his earlier controversial renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, President Donald Trump is poised to announce that the U.S. will officially refer to the Persian Gulf as the “Arabian Gulf” during his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia. This decision, reported by multiple sources, is expected to further strain diplomatic relations with Iran, which views the term “Persian Gulf” as integral to its national identity. This initiative mirrors Trump’s January 2025 executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” a move that sparked significant domestic and international controversy. The renaming was formalized

Bodycam video released as Trump admin seeks to portray Abrego Garcia as a criminal to the public

Tennessee state law enforcement released video showing a 2022 traffic stop involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the incidents the Trump administration officials have used to justify the removal of the Maryland man who the government has admitted was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March. US officials have argued the traffic stop in November 2022, in which Abrego Garcia was not detained or charged, supports their claims that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 and involved in human trafficking. A redacted police report released to CNN by the highway patrol did not address suspicions of human trafficking. Abrego Garcia’s family and his lawyers deny those claims.

After winning a plurality of the popular vote in November, Donald Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to 41% - the worst of any president in his first 100 days in 70 years - according to a new CNN/SSRS poll. His approval on the economy — a key to his longtime political viability — is at its lowest-ever level at 39%. Only 35% approve of Trump's approach to inflation, the same number who back him on tariffs. CNN Senior Political Analyst Ron Brownstein joins CNN Newsroom to explain why the president's ratings tumbled.
