Donald Trump will call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf.
Arab countries want to change the name of the sea near Iran. Iran says the sea's name is the Persian Gulf.
Two people from the U.S. talked about this. They did not want their names used. The White House did not answer questions.
People call this sea the Persian Gulf. Some people in the Middle East call it the Arabian Gulf. Iran was angry at Google because Google did not write the name of the sea on maps.
In the U.S., Google Maps shows the water as 'Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf)'. Apple Maps shows it as 'Persian Gulf'.
The U.S. army calls the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf in its messages.
The name of the sea is important to people in Iran. They like their country's history.
Trump's friends gave him money. Now he sells land too.
On Wednesday, Iran's foreign minister talked about the names of seas in the Middle East. He said the names do not mean one country owns the sea. He said the names show that people respect history together.
Abbas Araghchi wrote on X. He said changing the name of the Persian Gulf is bad. He said it shows they don't like Iran and its people. He said this is wrong.
This step is not good. It will make Iranians angry everywhere.
Trump can use a different name in the U.S., but other countries can call it another name.
A group called IHO helps make maps of seas and oceans. Countries are members, like the United States. IHO wants all maps to be the same. Sometimes, countries use different names for the same place.
Trump will also visit Qatar and the UAE.
The U.S. leader has businesses in these countries.
Trump said the U.S. will call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. He said this a few months ago.
The Associated Press sued the government. The government did not let their reporters go to many events.
A judge said the news group AP can write what it wants. The judge said the government cannot stop them.
