referred to as the Gulf of America.

Whose territories, as indicated on the map, were labelled "America Mexicana".

“Why not call it Mexican America?” she said with a hint of sarcasm. “Sounds nice, does it?”

During his press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, Trump stated, "We're going to be renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America."

He added: "What a lovely name. And it's suitable…And Mexico must stop allowing millions of people to flood into our country."

He then claimed that Mexico "can stop them" and we're going to impose very severe tariffs on Mexico and Canada, as Canada also lets them pass through.

“Because I know I'll be asked, I think it's possible that yesterday, President Trump was misinformed, with all due respect to President Trump. Because I believe they told him that in Mexico, Felipe Calderón was still in charge and García Luna,” Sheinbaum said in reference to the former President of Mexico and his Secretary of Public Security, who both left their positions in 2012.

Last year, Luna was sentenced to more than 38 years in a U.S. prison after it was discovered that he had accepted bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.

"But no, in Mexico it's the people themselves who hold power," she said.

This comes as UK independent MP Marjorie Denton has vowed to introduce legislation to change the name of the gulf.

Greene took to Trump's platform Truth Social to share a clip of the president-elect pitching the name change.

“President @realDonaldTrump's second term is off to a brilliant start. I'll be introducing legislation ASAP to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to its rightful name, the Gulf of America!” she wrote.

A number of UK Conservative MPs have already started using the new name.

Texas Republican MP Brandon Gill appeared on CNN on Wednesday, saying that "President Trump is bringing us into a golden age of America. This is the new Manifest Destiny. Reclaiming the Panama Canal, acquiring Greenland, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is the light of America expanding."

No more games, if you play silly, so do others.
