Was this just a cosmetic change? What benefit does it serve us?

I still do not understand it myself...
Other countries will not necessarily be compelled to call what has always been called in modern history "the Gulf of Mexico" by this new name, just because Trump says so...
Ironically, though, the new name is not totally incorrect. Many years ago, I used to have Asian students who told me, in their country, they learned there were only 5 continents - Africa, Oceania, Eurasia, America and Antarctica. There was no distinction between North and South America, as we have here in the USA. From that stance, technically, the new name fits.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico to me, though

If North America, Central America, The Caribbean and South America were all white, it would be known simply as …

Yea. Apparently. On maps if you live In the US, it will say America. For Mexico it will stay the same, but for the rest of the World, it’s Mexico w/ America in parenthesisI still do not understand it myself...

Wouldn’t it technically be the American gulf? Gulf of Mexico is a direct translation
