During a press conference on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the 78-year-old president-elect shared his plan for renaming the Gulf of Mexico. “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump told reporters.
It is nowhere near South America. The Gulf of Mexico is in North America, touching Mexico, the United States, and Cuba.
The name makes sense because, technically speaking, it is an ocean basin. Most of the basin goes towards Mexican territory; not meaning the touching of the borders but that it covers what would be Mexican territory. It “pushes” or “delves” more towards Mexico. (I hope I’m explaining myself, lol).
It has been called “the Gulf of Mexico” for about five centuries and it made even more sense less than two centuries ago before the United States stole a big chunk of northern Mexican territory.

Yeah you’re right, mentally I added the part of the Caribbean that goes down to Venezuela to it.
