While Donald Trump said on Wednesday January 8 that he wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico “Gulf of America”, Claudia Sheinbaum responded with humor by proposing to rename the United States “Mexican America”, spotted HuffPost.
Donald Trump continues to make headlines on the international scene. After threatening to annex Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal, the American president, who will be officially inaugurated on Monday January 20, wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to “golfe of America“. A provocative outing which did not fail to provoke a reaction from the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who responded to her American counterpart in an ironic manner. “Obviously the Gulf of Mexico is a name recognized by the United Nations, why not call (the United States) Mexican America, sounds good, right?“, she said Wednesday January 8, in comments relayed by the HuffPost.
“He spoke of the name, we also speak of the name“, continued the head of state, supporting her remarks in front of a world map dating from the 17th century and on which a good part of the North American region appears under the name of Mexican America. Claudia Sheinbaum however highlighted the fact that she intends to maintain “a good relationship with President Trump”, based “on the good relationship between Mr. Trump and President (Andrés Manuel) López Obrador“, his predecessor who led Mexico between 2018 and 2024. Diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries are essential since Mexico is the United States’ largest trading partner.
Mexico lets “millions of people” into the United States, says Donald Trump
-In recent days, Donald Trump has been offensive towards Mexico after having already, during his first term, made the construction of a wall along the border between the two countries a flagship measure to fight against illegal immigration. Eight years after his arrival at the White House, his vision does not seem to have changed, as he declared on Wednesday January 8: “Mexico must stop letting millions of people into our country“. Donald Trump also claimed that Mexico was ruled by “drug cartels“, to which Claudia Sheinbaum replied that her country was “ruled by the people“.
