Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday responded to President-elect Donald Trump a day earlier musing about renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

“Obviously ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ the name is recognized by the United Nations, an organism of the United Nations,” she said. “But next, why don’t we call it ‘Mexican America’? It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” 

Trump apparently has turned his eye on the gulf – shared by Cuba, Mexico and the United States – after recently suggesting the U.S. should acquire as geopolitical assets Canada, Greenland and Panama Canal.
