In Trump jibe, Sheinbaum suggests renaming North America ‘Mexican America’ • FRANCE 24 English

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum responded sarcastically on Wednesday to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Standing before a global map in her daily press briefing, Sheinbaum proposed dryly that North America should be renamed “América Mexicana,” or “Mexican America,” because a founding document dating from 1814 that preceded Mexico’s constitution referred to it that way.

  1. As a Mexican I am really happy to see that many of the comments think common sense. Let’s call it Mexican America since it is actually what it was called historically. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽. And idc abt the “well goood luck with that” type of comments because it’s true and it’s time for us to see what Mexico truly was and still is about. Proud 🇲🇽

  2. I Have a Better one. ! " NORTH MEXICO " and " SOUTH MEXICO " 😃 . The worst is that, for this behavior the twisted minds voted for him.

  3. She is far from being a true leader. Regarding Mr. Trump's comments, she should have replied "- I have no comment, the gentleman can say whatever he wants -", I have more important matters to attend to in my country, no comment!, but she gets entangled in dirty gossip, the presidential chair of Mexico is too big for her, poor country, we are in the hands of criminals!😅

  4. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Mexican American is better

  5. This was edited out of context. There was historical explanation by an expert that preceded her commentary . It was about the huge border region that was part of Mexico before. It’s semantics at this point. They are one of each other’s largest business partners, specially in the age of Nearshoring and competition with other economic blocs.

  6. The criminals who voted for the Felon are as guilty as the one who will bring down the giant of the North amen word of God we praise you lord

  7. That was the viceroyalty of New Spain, Mrs Sheinbaum only likes to remind their history as part of the Spanish Empire under a negative light. This woman is a hypocrite.

  8. The difference is that we can actually make it happen, I love Mexico don’t get me wrong, but America comes first, we pretty much dominate the gulf, meaning it belongs to us
