Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum jokingly suggested a new name for the United States, 'Mexican America,' in response to President-elect Trump's announcement to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America.'
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized President-elect Trump for his plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico, saying she has a new name for the United States. \u201cMexican America. That sounds nice,\u201d Sheinbaum quipped Wednesday in Mexico City during a press conference, Reuters reported. Sheinbaum cited a 1607 map during the press conference and was joined by Mexico’s former culture minister, Jose Alfonso Suarez del Real.
\u201cThe fact is that Mexican America is recognized since the 17th century... as the name for the whole northern part of the (American) continent,\u201d Suarez del Real said, pointing to the map. Sheinbaum\u2019s 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. \u201cWe have a massive deficit with Mexico, and we help Mexico a lot. They\u2019re essentially run by the cartels, and can\u2019t let that happen, because Mexico is really in trouble, a lot of trouble. Very dangerous place,\u201d Trump said during the press conference. \u201cWe\u2019re 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,\u201d Trump said Tuesday. \u201cThe Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it\u2019s appropriate.\u201d 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
