US President-elect Donald Trump has proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘Gulf of America’. In a statement on Tuesday, Trump linked the proposal to his long-standing criticisms of Mexico’s handling of immigration, drug trafficking, and trade issues. The president-elect expressed frustration with Mexico’s policies, suggesting that the name change would serve as a reminder of American sovereignty and strength in the region.
