The proposal to ban the renaming of the Persian Gulf by Trump was submitted to Congress.

Yasmin Ansari, a Democratic Iranian-American congresswoman, says she is presenting a plan to the U.S. Congress aimed at preventing any action by the federal government, particularly by President Donald Trump, to change the name of the Persian Gulf.In announcing this news, Ms. Ansari's office quoted this representative from Arizona: "From the effort to change the name of the Persian Gulf to accepting a luxury private jet, all are interconnected."The announcement from Yasmin Ansari's office states that this plan aims to "stop Donald Trump, who is politically motivated to change the name of these waters. This law will prohibit the government from using any federal budget for this name change and will not allow the U.S. government to use any name other than Persian Gulf in any correspondence and official documents."
