Mexico's president sacractisaclly said that the U.S. should be called "Mexican America" after Trump's vow to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."

The Mexican president responded to President-elect Trump's contention that the sea should have a more U.S.-centric designation by showing a map from 1607 during a Wednesday press conference. The map, which predates the founding of the United States by more than 150 years, labels all of North America as "América Mexicana” (“Mexican America”).

President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed using the 17th-century name in response to President-elect Donald Trump's comment he'd try to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
