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

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum turned the tables on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s talk about renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” In what appeared to be a deadpan joke, Sheinbaum suggested the United States be known as “Mexican America” during a press briefing on Wednesday.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said Tuesday that he planned to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” one of several foreign policy proposals that left world leaders reeling. “It has a beautiful ring,” he said of the proposed name change for the body of water that borders several U.S. and Mexican states.
