Trump Suggests Renaming Gulf of Mexico Amid Tensions Over Border and Territorial Claims

ai generated text

US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America". This proposal has been met with skepticism from Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, who proposes renaming North America to "América Mexicana". Sheinbaum noted that the Gulf of Mexico has been known by its current name since 1607. Trump's proposal has been ridiculed in Mexico and has sparked controversy.

    1. Humor can be a good tactic, it projects strength, which is what Trump responds to. It was probably the right choice on this issue.

    1. Today, there is no formal international agreement or protocol in place for naming maritime areas.
