Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum said she has not received an invite to Donald Trump’s inauguration, insisting that that it is not a problem even as tariff threats from the incoming US president strain their relationship.

Mexico's president on Wednesday responded sarcastically to Donald Trump's proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
