Paragraph 2
The USA's Board on Geographic Names can change the
to Gulf of America on
U.S. maps. However, there is no international organization with the
to mandate the global
of place names. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has opposed the name change. She pointed out that the name "Gulf of Mexico" has existed for over four
. She also cited the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which stipulates that a country's
territory only extends 19 kilometres from its
. She retorted that if there were to be name
, the United States should be called "Mexican America," as depicted on a
of the
from 1607.
