Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum mocked Donald Trump on Wednesday for his suggestion to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”

Throughout a press convention held in Mexico’s Nationwide Palace, Sheinbaum stood in entrance of a map from 1607 that labeled the US as “Mexican America” and the gulf because the “Gulf of Mexico”—almost 170 years earlier than the US was based in 1776.

“Why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds pretty, no?” Sheinbaum mockingly requested.

Giant parts of the US have been initially a part of Mexico. On the conclusion of the Mexican-American Conflict in 1848, the nation misplaced 55% of its territory, which grew to become California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and most of Colorado and Arizona.

Sheinbaum additionally accused Trump of residing prior to now, noting, “I think they told President (elect) Trump wrong, they told him Felipe Calderon is still president.”

Calderon was Mexico’s president from 2006 to 2012.

Throughout his Tuesday press convention at Mar-a-Lago, Trump stated, “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it’s appropriate. It’s appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.”

One among Trump’s most loyal supporters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, stated she can be introducing laws to coincide with Trump’s rhetoric.

“I’ve directed my staff to immediately begin drafting legislation to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is important to begin funding the changing of maps for all agencies within the federal government, like the FAA and the military,” she wrote on X.

Even when Greene’s laws handed, it will nonetheless not coerce different nations to comply with alongside—Mexico, for one, has made it clear it received’t be following in Trump’s footsteps.

Trump’s final main conflict with Mexico didn’t notably work out nicely for him. Throughout his 2016 presidential marketing campaign, he stated he would construct a U.S.-Mexico border wall, for which Mexico would pay. Not solely did Mexico not truly pay for the wall, but it surely was by no means even accomplished.

The friction between Trump and Mexico is simply the most recent in a sequence of worldwide flashpoints he’s brought about earlier than even being sworn in as president. Trump threatened to make use of “military action” to grab management of Greenland and the Panama Canal, whereas additionally antagonizing Canada. And through his first time period, his actions ceaselessly provoked worldwide condemnation. 

Seems like he’s already heading down an analogous path.
