US President Donald Trump announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" during his inaugural speech. Cameras caught former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton laughing at the proposal, shaking her head as she reacted. Social media users echoed her sentiments, calling the idea unnecessary. Experts say Trump can change the name in US documents, but international bodies like the International Hydrographic Bureau standardise global naming conventions, making the change unlikely worldwide. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested naming it "Mexican America" instead. The proposal has sparked debate and humour across the internet.
