Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum turned the tables on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s talk about renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” In what appeared to be a deadpan joke, Sheinbaum suggested the United States be known as “Mexican America” during a press briefing on Wednesday.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo responded with a counter-offer to President-elect Donald Trump's plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

President-elect Donald Trump says that he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” a name he said has a “beautiful ring to it.”
