Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum Responds to Trump's Renaming Proposal

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has countered Donald Trump's suggestion to rename the Gulf of Mexico, proposing an alternative name for the United States instead.

During a press conference, Sheinbaum showcased a historic map labeling North America as "Mexican America." She emphasized that the Gulf of Mexico's name is recognized internationally by the United Nations.

Sheinbaum's response followed Trump's vow to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." Trump claimed the new name would be more fitting.

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations. Trump has criticized Mexico's handling of migration and drug trafficking, while Sheinbaum has emphasized the importance of cooperation and mutual understanding.

Sheinbaum's statement underscores Mexico's commitment to maintaining good relations with the US despite ongoing disagreements.
