“We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. What a beautiful name. And it’s appropriate,” Trump said.
However, he did not mention how he would make the renaming happen.
He further blamed Mexico for undocumented migration and threatened tariffs on both of America’s continental neighbours.
"Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country," he said.
Warning that the US is going to put "very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada," Trump said, "They can stop them. And we’re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers, record numbers. So we’re going to make up for that by putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, substantial tariffs."
The president-elect has been slamming Mexico continually, saying it was a "very dangerous place" that was run by cartels.
