I don't like changes to maps and place names in general.
I'm from Mexico. My relatives have connections and some of my friends have elite status. My experience is that I have a better life in the USA as a common person.
Kind of a waste of time. I get it's just a name, but there are more consequences for mapping and maritime travel. I'm fine with Greenland and Panama, but this just seems stupid.
Every country has a different name for many countries other than what we call them. Mexico will still be free to call it the Gulf of Mexico, as any other country can. This isn't a deed and title to it, lock stock and barrel.
It's not an accomplishment. It's a troll. Get things done and stop dicking around.

The coastline of US and Mexico are both about 1700 miles each, but the Mighty Mississippi is the main drain into the Gulf.
So Gulf of Murica!
