U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed he once seriously considered renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of Trump,” before backing down after a conversation with Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Trump even mimicked Sheinbaum’s reaction during their private call, highlighting the tension surrounding his broader push to rename the region the “Gulf of America.” The proposal has sparked global debate, with Mexico firmly rejecting any unilateral change and insisting the historic name remains internationally recognized.

The controversy underscores growing friction between Washington and Mexico, raising questions about power, symbolism, and diplomatic relations in an already sensitive geopolitical landscape.

00:00The Gulf of America, and she's a beautiful woman, a very nice, you know, I never like to talk about
00:05beauty
00:06because it's usually the end of a political career. If you say somebody's a beautiful woman,
00:10they say, what a terrible, terrible thing. Everybody hates it except the woman that you're
00:14talking about. They love it. You know, believe it or not, Mexico, who does not like me after the
00:21change of the name to the Gulf of America. The president called me up. This is six months ago.
00:28You know, we have 92 percent of the waterfront. They have 8 percent. And I always wondered,
00:35why is it the Gulf of Mexico? For a long time, even looking as a kid, I said, well,
00:39Gulf of Mexico, it's such a powerful name. It's such a powerful thing, the Gulf of Mexico,
00:45but it should be the Gulf of America. I mean, I'll say it only within the confines of this room
00:50because I know there's a lot of fake news back there. Within the confines of this room,
00:57Mayor, you're not going to tell anybody, please. I was thinking about seriously calling it the Gulf
01:02of Trump, but I really was. I really was. But I was told by some very wise people, please don't
01:13do
01:13this. That's what I don't think would have worked. What do you think? That wouldn't have worked too well.
01:19But, you know, it's such an honor to you look at that incredible, powerful, beautiful, really rich
01:27area of water. This is probably very little like it anywhere in the world. You look at all the rigs
01:31out there, all the wealth that's underneath that water. And now it's the Gulf of America.
01:36And the president of Mexico called me. He's not too fond of me anymore. But when she heard about it,
01:42it was heard. It was put in some paper. Somebody leaked it someplace always. You always have leaks
01:47when you're in my world. Leaks are part of life. And it was leaked that I was going to change
01:51the
01:51name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And she's a beautiful woman, a very nice, you
01:57know,
01:57I never like to talk about beauty because it's usually the end of a political career. If you say
02:01somebody's a beautiful woman, they say, what a terrible, terrible thing. Everybody hates it,
02:06except the woman that you're talking about. They love it. So I won't say she's a beautiful woman,
02:15and she is. And she's got this incredible, beautiful voice, elegant voice. She was a ballet
02:21dancer. She's got this beautiful voice. And she goes, President, President, no, no, no, President,
02:27tell me, tell me, you're only kidding. You're not going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Yes,
02:34I am. I'm sorry. No, no, no, please. Anyway, so they don't love me too much in Mexico right now.
02:40You know, that's why guys like me are in a lot of danger. You know, consequential people
02:46get in a lot of danger. You know what I'm talking about? Saturday night, it was good for one thing.
02:53People are loving my ballroom now. That's the only thing. They love my ballroom.
03:00They love my ballroom. It's going to be the best in the world, although I like the one at Mar
