Hot take, but I'd actually be fine with the US calling it the Gulf of the Americas since it is a shared gulf by north and south America. There are examples like the south China Sea and the Persian Gulf that have different names depending on what country you are in. But calling it the Gulf of America is just dumb.
the gulf of mexico isn't bordering any country in south america
Yeah gulf of “North America” would be more accurate in that scenario
