Mexican President Suggests Renaming the United States After Trump’s Gulf of America Threat
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum clapped back Wednesday at President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to rename the Gulf of Mexico — saying the US should actually be called “Mexican America.”
Trump, 78, announced Tuesday during a Mar-a-Lago press conference he had ambitions to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America.”
In response, Sheinbaum, 62, showed off a 1607 map with the Gulf of Mexico being identified as such and North America labeled as Mexican America.
“Why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds nice, no?” asked the Mexican leader, apparently in jest.
Sheinbaum added, “with all due respect,” that Trump was wrong to state that violent drug cartels are running Mexico, rather than “the people.” (Read more from “Mexican President Suggests Renaming the United States After Trump’s Gulf of America Threat” HERE)
