President-elect Donald Trump expressed his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, claiming that it has a beautiful ring to it.
The Gulf of Mexico is often called the United States' Third Coast as it spans five southeastern states, yet Mexicans refer to it as El Golfo de Mexico.
Trump's suggestion to rename the Gulf comes amid a history of clashes with Mexico over border security, tariffs, and his border wall proposal.
Changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico is complex as it is not a unilateral decision and would require international consensus among countries.
