Less than 24 hours after President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the governor of Texas is now throwing the Lonestar State’s name in the ring.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has responded sarcastically to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

For decades, history books and maps have labeled the big body of water that sits off the coast of the southern United States and Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico.

President-elect Donald Trump says that he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” a name he said has a “beautiful ring to it.”.
