Mexican President Reacts to Trump's Gulf of America Plan: 'For the Entire World It Is Still the Gulf of Mexico'

lemmy.world/post/24624653

lemmy.worldMexican president reacts to Trump's Gulf of America plan: 'For the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico' - Lemmy.WorldSummary Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.” Sheinbaum stated that while Trump can refer to the American part of the body of water as the Gulf of America, the rest of the world will continue to refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico. Trump signed the order on Jan. 20, 2025, following his inaugural promise, citing the Gulf’s importance to the U.S. economy. Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s stance on territorial integrity. This follows Trump’s recent controversial foreign policy ideas, including proposing Canada as a U.S. state, acquiring Greenland, and considering military action to reclaim the Panama Canal.

I wonder who, apart from those who sell maps, might be interested in this nonsense.

@Foni @MicroWave This could be turned into a MAGA loyalty test for the press. When reporters and weather reports refer to the Gulf, they will have to choose between the long-established name or the one that pleases MAGA.

Considering how craven the USA press has been, I think they'll obey in advance and start calling it Gulf of America, but I think most of the foreign press will not.

I live here. The weather people never say ‘Gulf of Mexico’, they just say Gulf Coast.
