President-elect Donald J. Trump proposed to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has sparked mixed reactions globally, leaving leaders stunned.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump's proposal dusted with historical perspective, displaying a map from 1607 that labeled North America as Mexican America and asking rhetorically, 'Why don't we call it Mexican America? It sounds pretty, no?'
Despite the outcry, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed her support for Trump's proposal, vowing that they would make the name change a reality, underscoring the divisive nature of such a policy.
Experts indicated that while Trump could seek to change the geographical nomenclature as President, there are no formal international agreements to recognize such changes, questioning whether other nations would honor a unilateral renaming.
