  "account": "On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump once again brought up his controversial decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. He mocked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's reaction to the change during a meeting with US Navy members in Baltimore. According to Trump's account, Sheinbaum had called him to express her opposition to altering the name. The president then enacted a reenactment of the conversation, recounting how Sheinbaum had said, \"No, no, Mr President. Please, please, tell me that isn't the case.\"\n\nTrump defended the decision by claiming that the United States accounts for 93% of the Gulf coastline, while Mexico accounts for only 7%. However, the available data contradicts this assertion. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and calculations from Mexico's National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (Conabio), Mexico actually represents 47.67% of the Gulf's maritime area, while the United States accounts for 44.75%.\n\nSheinbaum has consistently rejected the new name, insisting that the internationally recognized name should remain the Gulf of Mexico. In response to the controversy, Trump has even suggested referring to the United States as \"Mexican America.\" The name change was ordered by Trump in 2025, causing friction with the Mexican government over which name should be used.",
  "summary": "The US president says the Mexican leader rang him to urge him not to rename the Gulf of Mexico. Trump justified the change with coastal data that available figures do not support.",
