Mexico's Sheinbaum Rejects Trump's 'Gulf of America' Renaming, Citing U.S. Continental Shelf Limitation
Jan 21, 2025, 03:54 PM
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly stated that the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be known as such 'for the entire world,' despite U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to rename it the 'Gulf of America.' Sheinbaum clarified that Trump's decree only applies to the U.S. continental shelf, and emphasized that Mexico and the rest of the world will continue to refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico. This response comes after Trump's announcement to change the name, a move he justified by claiming Mexico is 'governed by drug cartels' and is 'very unsafe.'
