Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to President-elect Trump's announcement to rename the Gulf of Mexico, proposing 'Mexican America' as a new name for the United States.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized President-elect Trump for stating his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico, saying she has a new name for the United States. 'Mexican America. That sounds nice,' Sheinbaum quipped Wednesday in Mexico City during a press conference, Reuters reported. Sheinbaum cited a map from 1607 during the press conference and was joined by Mexico’s former culture minister, Jose Alfonso Suarez del Real.
'The fact is that Mexican America is recognized since the 17th century... as the name for the whole northern part of the (American) continent,' Suarez del Real said, pointing to the map. Sheinbaum’s remark followed Trump holding his own press conference Tuesday, where he made a series of announcements and further previewed his upcoming second administration, including saying he plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico. 'We have a massive deficit with Mexico, and we help Mexico a lot. They're essentially run by the cartels, and can't let that happen, because Mexico is really in trouble, a lot of trouble. Very dangerous place,' Trump said during the press conference. 'We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring. That covers a lot of territory,' Trump said Tuesday. 'The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate.'The Gulf of Mexico is a partly enclosed sea that borders states such as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, as well as Mexico and the northwestern portion of Cuba. Trump did not elaborate on how or when he will rename the body of water. Instead, he switched gears to the immigration woes in the U.S. under the Biden White House
