Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum mocked Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” by suggesting the U.S. be renamed “Mexican America.”
“It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” she said, pointing to a 17th-century map showing California, Texas, and Arizona once belonging to Mexico before the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). She also noted the Gulf of Mexico has had its name since 1607.
Sheinbaum warned new U.S. tariffs would prompt reciprocal measures.
While advocating for cooperation, she emphasized Mexico’s sovereignty and its historical ties with the U.S.
Show me where i said he should do and say whatever he wants.
You didn’t - that’s why I asked you so you had an open opportunity to support what you meant…
No, you directly questioned me on people letting Trump do and say anything he wants, when I never sais anything like that.
I don’t know what you want me to expand on. My statement wasn’t a puzzle. I wasn’t debating anything.
You don’t have to respond at all if you don’t want to. I think we need to challenge Trump on things we disagree with and sometimes that will mean going down to his level.
