Mexico's President responded sarcastically to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Sheinbaum suggested renaming North America to 'América Mexicana' and highlighted that the Gulf of Mexico has held its name since 1607.

The exchange raises questions about how President Sheinbaum will navigate Trump's diplomatic approach, including mass deportations and trade policies. Her predecessor, López Obrador, built a relationship with Trump, but it remains to be seen if Sheinbaum, Mexico's first female president, can do the same.

Experts suggest that humor can be a strategic tool in dealing with Trump, projecting strength while addressing serious issues like immigration, drugs, and trade. Sheinbaum has also responded firmly to Trump's proposed tariffs, warning of potential consequences for both countries.

Regarding immigration, Sheinbaum has aligned with Mexico's efforts to block migrants heading north. Initially considering deporting migrants to their home countries, she later expressed willingness to accept deportees from other nations, with possible limitations or compensation requests.
