美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二再次提及他决定将墨西哥湾更名为“美利坚湾”的决定，并据其描述嘲笑了墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆的反应。
US President Donald Trump again referred on Tuesday to his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America' and mocked Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum's reaction, according to his account.
特朗普在巴尔的摩举行的美国海军成员活动上发表讲话时表示，辛鲍姆曾打电话请求他不要更改名称。
Speaking at an event with members of the US Navy in Baltimore, Trump said that Sheinbaum had called him to ask him not to alter the name.
总统在现场重现了这场所谓的对话，并表示他曾告诉这位墨西哥领导人，决定已经做下。“当我这么做时，这是一个有点棘手的时刻。我接到了墨西哥总统的电话。
The president re-enacted the alleged conversation in front of those present and said he had told the Mexican leader that the decision was already made." It was a slightly tricky moment when I did that. I received a call from the president of Mexico.
她是一个非常好的女人，美丽，有着迷人的声音，她对我说：‘不，不，总统先生。求求你，求求你，告诉我那不是真的’。”
She was a very nice woman, beautiful, with a lovely voice, and she said to me: 'No, no, Mr President. Please, please, tell me that isn't the case'".Trump defended the change by claiming that the United States accounts for 93% of the Gulf coastline, compared with barely 7% for Mexico.
特朗普为这一改变辩护称，美国拥有墨西哥湾93%的海岸线，而墨西哥仅占7%。然而，现有数据并不支持这一比例。
However, the available data do not support that ratio.
美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）以及墨西哥国家生物多样性知识和使用委员会（Conabio）发布的数据显示，两国的比例要均衡得多。
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and calculations published by Mexico's National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (Conabio) point to a much more balanced split.
根据Conabio引用法兰德斯海洋研究所的地理空间数据，墨西哥占墨西哥湾海域面积的47.67%，美国占44.75%。辛鲍姆拒绝新名称。
辛鲍姆一再反对特朗普推动的更改，并坚称国际公认的名称仍然是墨西哥湾。
According to Conabio, using geospatial data from the Flanders Marine Institute, Mexico represents 47.67% of the Gulf's maritime area and the United States 44.75%.Sheinbaum rejects the new nameSheinbaum has repeatedly opposed the change pushed by Trump and has insisted that the internationally recognised name remains Gulf of Mexico.
这位总统甚至以讽刺回应了这一争议，提出了将美国称为“墨西哥美洲”的想法。
特朗普于2025年下令将名称更改为“美利坚湾”，此决定此后引发了墨西哥政府对应该使用哪个名称的摩擦。
The president has even responded to the controversy with irony, floating the idea of referring to the United States as 'Mexican America'.Trump ordered the name to be changed to 'Gulf of America' in 2025, a decision that has since caused friction with the Mexican government over which name should be used.
