President-elect Trump’s remarks on renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America reflect an imperialistic approach to cartography, altering geographical names without international consent.
The Gulf of Mexico, vital for shipping and commerce, has been a part of the geopolitical landscape for centuries, and Trump’s vision disregards its historical significance.
By suggesting additional claims such as seizing the Panama Canal and annexing Canada, Trump’s unilateral actions symbolize a broader disregard for international sovereignty and relationships.
Trump’s antagonistic stance toward Mexico, including calling for Mexico to pay for a border wall, reveals a deep-rooted xenophobia that fuels misunderstandings about migration and drug trafficking.
