President Claudia Sheinbaum quipped Wednesday that North America should be renamed to match a Mexican document dated in 1814.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico also said Donald Trump was ill-informed when he said Mexico was “essentially run by the cartels.”

That’s the quip from former Barack Obama staffer Dan Pfeiffer in reaction to Trump saying Tuesday he’ll move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” a name he said has a “beautiful ring to it.”

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum joked about renaming the U.S. in response to President-elect Donald Trump who recently said he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said Tuesday that he planned to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” one of several foreign policy proposals that left world leaders reeling. “It has a beautiful ring,” he said of the proposed name change for the body of water that borders several U.S. and Mexican states.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo responded with a counter-offer to President-elect Donald Trump's plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

The "Gulf of Mexico" name is internationally recognized, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's comments about renaming the body of water.
