Mexico’s fiery new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has boldly responded to Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” At a press conference on Wednesday, Sheinbaum unveiled a 400-year-old map from 1607 that labeled North America as “América Mexicana” (Mexican America). With a wry smile, she quipped, “Why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds pretty, no?” Her sharp retort, backed by historical imagery, has sparked a war of words, capturing global attention as tensions rise over Trump’s controversial capture threat.
