Far-left Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum refused to acknowledge President Donald Trump&#8217;s new executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the &#8220;Gulf of America,&#8221; claiming that the world would not acknowledge it.
“So what corresponds to the continental shelf of the United States, which they call the ‘Gulf of America,’ for us is still the Gulf of Mexico,” she said. “And for the whole world, it will continue to be the Gulf of Mexico.”

Trump announced during his inauguration speech on Monday that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed to the &#8220;Gulf of America,&#8221; then signed an executive order directing the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to make the change on federal maps.
The president first announced his intentions to rename the Gulf of Mexico earlier this month while discussing corruption in Mexico.

“We have a massive deficit with Mexico and we help Mexico a lot,” Trump said. “They’re essentially run by the cartels. And we can’t let that happen. Mexico is really in trouble. A lot of trouble. A very dangerous place.”
Trump said at the time that in the near future, his administration would be “changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.”
“The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name!” Trump said. “And it’s appropriate. It’s appropriate.”
Trump said the U.S. has the right to do it because “we do most of the work there, and it is ours.”

President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> said on Wednesday evening that he had a &#8220;wonderful conversation&#8221; with far-Left Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about what the two can do to fix the illegal immigration and drug problem in Mexico that is impacting the U.S.
The conversation comes after Trump threatened to slap heavy tariffs on Mexico if the country did not get its act together in combatting the drug cartels, who are also large drivers of the illegal immigration problem in the U.S.
&#8220;She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!&#8221;
Trump said that Mexico would stop migrants headed to the border &#8220;effective immediately,&#8221; which he said would &#8220;GO A LONG WAY TOWARD STOPPING THE ILLEGAL INVASION OF THE USA.&#8221;
He added that when he takes over in January, his administraiton will be launching a &#8220;large scale&#8221; advertising campaign warning the American public about the dangers of fentanyl.
&#8220;By the time the Campaign is over, everyone will know how really bad the horror of this Drug is,&#8221; he said.

Sheinbaum wrote in her own statement that the conversation with Trump was &#8220;excellent&#8221; and that they also discussed &#8220;strengthening collaboration on security issues within the framework of our sovereignty and the campaign we are carrying out in the country to prevent the consumption of fentanyl.&#8221;

Illegal Immigration

Mexico

Far-Left Mexican President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/claudia-sheinbaum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Claudia Sheinbaum</a> threatened to impose tariffs on the United States in a letter addressed to President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday as she blamed her country&#8217;s problems on the U.S.
Sheinbaum&#8217;s letter came in response to Trump saying in a statement on Monday that the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada until they stopped drugs and illegal aliens from reaching America&#8217;s borders.
The 62-year-old threatened in her letter that &#8220;for every tariff, there will be a response in kind, until we put at risk our shared enterprises.&#8221;
She said that &#8220;dialogue is the best path&#8221; to resolving problems facing the two nations.
&#8220;Even so, it is clear that we must work together to create a new labor mobility model that is necessary for your country, as well as address the root causes that compel families to leave their homes out of necessity,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility.&#8221;
She claimed that Mexico has &#8220;consistently expressed its willingness to help prevent the fentanyl epidemic in the United States from continuing,&#8221; even though the Mexican government has failed to deliver any kind of significant results. She correctly noted that the precursor chemicals arrive in Mexico from countries overseas, but she failed to name the main culprit — China — opting instead to say they come from &#8220;Asian countries.&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
She blamed the violence in her country on weapons that come from America. &#8220;We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.&#8221;
She claimed that Mexico had reduced the number of illegal aliens reaching the U.S. southern border by 75% and that half of those who do arrive do so using the Biden administration&#8217;s CBP One App.
&#8220;For these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border,&#8221; she claimed, after more than 10 million illegal aliens entered the U.S. southern border from Mexico over the last few years.
Former Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chad Wolf said earlier this year that the Biden administration was masking the true number of illegal aliens entering the U.S. by using the CBP One App.
&#8220;In June 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration said Border Patrol apprehended 84,000 illegal aliens&#8211;allegedly the lowest since they took office,&#8221; Wolf said in a post on X. &#8220;But there is MUCH MORE to this story.&#8221;
Wolf then explained what the administration was not telling the public.
&#8220;In addition to the 84,000 illegal crossings in June: 1⃣ 47,000 illegal aliens were encountered at ports of entry, using the CBP One app to schedule their unlawful entry,&#8221; he posted on X. &#8220;2⃣ Approximately 56,000 &#8216;gotaways&#8217; evaded Border Patrol and disappeared into American communities.&#8221;
&#8220;3⃣ Approximately 30,000 illegal aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela were provided parole and allowed to fly into the country through their preferred airport,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Altogether, around 215,000 illegal aliens unlawfully crossed our borders in June—not 84,000—which the Biden-Harris Administration wants you to believe.&#8221;

Claudia Sheinbaum, the former mayor of Mexico City, was elected as Mexico’s first female president on Sunday.
Sheinbaum, of the Morena party and the heir-apparent to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), won 58.6% of the votes with 73% of the ballots counted, Mexico’s election agency reported.
Candidate Xóchitl Gálvez garnered 28.4% of the vote and conceded defeat, while Jorge Álvarez Máynez, from the center-left Citizen Movement, won 10.6% of the vote. Galvez <a href="applewebdata://CFABA400-A5CA-40BC-96DF-222A409BD3D5/v">warned</a>, &#8220;I want to stress that my recognition (of Sheinbaum&#8217;s victory) comes with a firm demand for results and solutions to the country&#8217;s serious problems.&#8221;
“Morena and its allies also appeared headed for a two-thirds majority in Congress needed to make constitutional changes without opposition support,” The Wall Street Journal reported<a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/mexico-election-vote-results-af55cbce?mod=hp_lead_pos8">,</a> adding that it was the “first time a Mexican leader will have such a large congressional majority since the early 1990s.”
In an attempt to reassure voters that her newfound power would not become autocratic, Sheinbaum stated, “We are democrats and out of conviction would never be an authoritarian or repressive government.”
But Carlos Elizondo, a professor of government at the Tecnológico de Monterrey university, warned, “This is the worst scenario that could have happened.”
“If I’m an investor, I’m thinking these guys just got a blank check and what’s going to happen,” political analyst Antonio Ocaranza said. “López Obrador wants to complete his agenda and take the political cost of those decisions while leaving Sheinbaum a blank slate to begin.”

In May 2023, López Obrador had stated he was supporting a campaign to get Hispanics, especially Mexican-Americans, <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/4020967-mexican-president-tells-florida-hispanics-dont-give-one-single-vote-to-desantis/">not to vote</a> for Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, as well as attacking Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott, saying, “The governor of Texas, campaigning, [saying] he will militarize the border and that he will continue building [the] wall; and the governor of Florida, the same, because he wants to be the Republican Party candidate and he’s politicking.”
The Heritage Foundation <a href="https://www.heritage.org/americas/commentary/the-influence-lopez-obrador-the-internal-politics-the-united-states">reported</a> in June 2023 of López Obrador (AMLO), “Mexico’s president is also saying that he wants to cut a deal with his country’s powerful cartels, which already control parts of the country that AMLO’s government supposedly governs. These cartels are responsible for producing deadly drugs that have caused more than <a href="https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates#:~:text=Figure%201.,illicit%20drugs%20and%20prescription%20opioids." data-external="yes">100,000 overdose</a> deaths in the United States.
Sheinbaum, 62, is Jewish. Her grandparents fled Eastern Europe before World War II. She is not religiously observant.
