“The name Gulf of Mexico is recognized by the United Nations and is not up for discussion,” Sheinbaum stated at a press conference.
She reminded everyone that in the past, a significant portion of the present-day U.S. territories was under Mexico's control.
“Why don’t we call these lands ‘Mexican America’? It sounds quite nice, doesn’t it?” she added with a smile, displaying a 17th-century map.
Sheinbaum also took the opportunity to joke about Trump's awareness of Mexico's current state. She noted that perhaps the U.S. president still believes the country is led by former president Felipe Calderón or ex-public security minister García Luna, who was convicted for collaborating with drug cartels.
“But no. Today, the people govern Mexico,” she emphasized.
Despite the humorous tone, the President of Mexico expressed a desire to work with the Trump administration to improve relations between the two countries. Sheinbaum stated that she sees dialogue and cooperation as the key to resolving issues affecting both Mexico and the U.S.
