President-elect Trump expressed his desire to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, citing concerns about Mexico’s trade practices and immigration policies. He criticized Mexico for allowing people to enter the U.S. and highlighted the trade deficit with both Mexico and Canada. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on these countries and suggested that Canada merge with the U.S. after Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s resignation. The Gulf of Mexico, which covers over half a million square miles, has been on maps since the 1500s.
