WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Bernama-AA) -- United States (US) President Donald Trump on Sunday declared Feb 9 as "Gulf of America Day", Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
Trump signed the proclamation aboard Air Force One while flying over the Gulf of Mexico en route to New Orleans, Louisiana for the Super Bowl.
"I call upon public officials and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities," he said in his proclamation.
