Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's claim that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' with sarcasm, proposing instead to rename North America 'América Mexicana'. Sheinbaum's response came after Trump made several controversial statements about territorial expansion, including expressing interest in owning Greenland, annexing Canada, and reclaiming the Panama Canal.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum used sarcasm on Wednesday to counter her American counterpart’s absurd vow to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Sheinbaum, whom Mexican voters elected to be their first woman president in June, proposed renaming North America to “América Mexicana.” “It sounds pretty, no?” she said at a news conference while standing in front of a map of the world in 1607.

He has repeatedly said that Canada should be the 51st state of the U.S., angering Canadian leaders. Trump has also said the U.S. should reclaim the Panama Canal, a suggestion the Panamanian government has forcefully dismissed.
