Mexico president trolls Trump with "Mexican America" map after his "Gulf of America" name change proposal

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum responded sarcastically on Wednesday to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

Standing before a 17th-century world map in her daily press briefing, Sheinbaum proposed dryly that North America should be renamed "América Mexicana," or "Mexican America," because a founding document dating from 1814 that preceded Mexico's constitution referred to it that way.

"That sounds nice, no?" she added with a sarcastic tone. She also noted that the Gulf of Mexico had been named that way since 1607.
