Mexico's president sarcastically said that the U.S. should be called "Mexican America" after Trump's vow to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."

President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed using the 17th-century name in response to President-elect Donald Trump's comment he'd try to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday hit back at US president-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting US territory that was previously part of Mexico should be called “Mexican America”.

Mexicans elected a female president, Claudia Sheinbaum to replace Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Arguably, Mexico is Washington’s most significant foreign policy partner, playing a central role in two issues that Donald Trump manipulated to win the 2024 presidential election: migration and drugs.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo responded with a counter-offer to President-elect Donald Trump's plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

In a new act of absurdity, Donald Trump declared that he will be renaming the Gulf of Mexico in what appears to be a bid for regional dominance, and President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico was unfazed.

As is often the case with Trump, it’s unclear whether his remarks are to be taken at face value or if he's simply trying to stir the pot.
