Donald Trump Says Gulf of Mexico Will Now Be Called 'Gulf of America.' Congress Is Already Prepping Legislation - Lemmy.World

But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. “We’re drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.”

The US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. In fact strictly speaking “Gulf of America” is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.
Except America has more then one gulf so it isn’t the gulf of America it is one gulf in America.
