New Delhi, May 8 -- After the fracas over the Gulf of Mexico, United States President Donald Trump has waded into yet another contentious naming dispute. This time, it is the one over the Persian Gulf, the body of water that separates the Iranian Plateau from the Arabian Peninsula.

The US President recently told reporters that he planned to make a final decision regarding the name of the water body during his visit to West Asia from May 13-16, according to media reports.

Trump will be visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, all Arab states located along the Gulf, who have preferred the term 'Arabian Gulf' (al-Khalij al-Arabi) over the term 'Persian Gulf' to refer to the water body.
