President Trump said Tuesday he opposes a campaign to rename St. Louis.
“You won’t be changing the name St. Louis, will you?” Trump asked Missouri Gov. Mike Parson at a White House event on reopening schools during the coronavirus pandemic.
“No, we will not be doing that,” the Republican governor replied.
“Thank you. Thank you. That’s very important. Thank you very much,” Trump said.
St. Louis, a former industrial hub on the Mississippi River, is named for French King Louis IX, who died in 1270 while on a crusade.
A currently fringe effort to rename the city notes that while Louis IX is recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as a saint, he also tried to stamp out other religions during his 44-year reign.
The king ordered the destruction of thousands of copies of the Jewish Talmud.
Fewer than 1,000 people have signed a petition on Change.org calling for a new city name and for a statue of Louis IX to be removed.
