Reference Message Network reported on May 8th according to EFE News reported on May 7th, the United Nations said on the 7th that in the face of US President Trump's plan to rename the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf, the United Nations plans to continue using the name "Persian Gulf".
Reported that when asked about this matter at a regular press conference, UN Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General Stephanie Traublay said: "We will continue to refer to this region in the usual way."
Trump once referred to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf in a speech during his first term, which also caused controversy at that time. Outside the Arab countries in the Middle East, most countries in the world still use the name "Persian Gulf".
The report mentioned that Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America", which drew criticism from many people, and no one followed suit outside the United States. (Compiled by Wang Meng)
