00:00After Donald Trump declared he'd rename the Gulf of Mexico, President Claudia Scheinbaum
00:06showed off her sense of humour.
00:11The Gulf of Mexico is of course the name that's recognised by the United Nations, but why
00:20don't we call the United States Mexican America?
00:25It sounds nice, doesn't it?
00:28A sarcastic response to the President-elect's comment, which came along with other declarations
00:34such as his ambition to claim control of Greenland and the Panama Canal.
00:39We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which
00:47has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
00:50The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name.
00:53And it's appropriate.
00:55It's appropriate.
00:57Trump and Scheinbaum have been trading jibes in the weeks running up to the US President's
01:01return to office, notably on the matters of tariffs and of migration.
01:07Despite the taunts, left-wing Scheinbaum said she believes a positive partnership is possible
01:12with Donald Trump.
01:14We must wait for him, Donald Trump, to take office.
01:17And in any case, there's international law.
01:21I still think there will be good relations with President Trump.
01:24Why?
01:25Because there are good relations with our former President López Obrador.
01:30Trump will be sworn into office on the 20th of January as the 47th President of, perhaps,
01:37Mexican America.
