Original Note:
The Gulf of Mexico isn't "owned" by anyone; its waters are shared by the U.S., Mexico, and Cuba under maritime law. Trump can't rename it—international bodies like the IHO handle geographic names, and a unilateral change would be symbolic and ignored globally. https://www.boem.gov/newsroom/us-mexico-maritime-boundaries-treaty https://iho.int/uploads/user/pubs/misc/M1_Separatedocs/Convention_new_EN.pdf
