'Moon is ours': Trump shares post claiming US ownership over earth's natural satellite

US President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed America's ownership over the moon, sharing glimpses of the natural satellite.

"The moon is ours," he said in a post on Truth Social, attaching a US flag alongside.

He published a series of AI-generated posts on the platform, also claiming Strait of Hormuz as US territory.

Trump suggests renaming New Mexico state 'New America'

His name-changing spree also found an unlikely new target when he suggested the state of New Mexico could be ranammed to "New America."

His proposal to rename Mexico, which was immediately dismissed by the state's governor, comes days after he signed an order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" in the middle of a trade war with neighboring Canada.

"Many people suggested changing the name of New Mexico... to NEW AMERICA," the Republican president posted on social media. "So much more prestigious and beautiful for the people of that potentially incredible State. Wow, I Love It!!!" he said.

The White House reiterated the idea by reposting an image showing the Mexico part of the state's name crossed out and replaced with "America."

State governor Michelle Lujan Grisham told Fox News that the name "isn't up for debate -- it's been ours since before the United States existed."

She added that the president wanted to "distract Americans" from issues such as soaring gas prices.

Last week, the US President suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as "Trump Strait" as the war with Iran continued, then hours later implied he was not serious about the plan.

He had renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" on his first day back in the White House in 2025 in a move rejected by Mexico. Canada has also rejected the attempt to rename Lake Ontario.
