Well it has something else in the background, Trump has not been the first to try and possibly it has to do with oil and tariffs.
What follows is a story of corruption between the US and Mexican governments (remember the Cs said Mexico is in Kahoots?)
The ghost Island
The first reference to this island was found in 1529, when Juan de la Cruz recorded it in the "Islario general de todas las islas del mundo" (General inventory of all the islands of the world)
Bermeja was supposed to be there, but it turns out it wasn't, it never existed even though Google Maps said it was there but it wasn't an island but a small rock, sailors and cartographers from remote times located and described it and different exploratory missions and settlers of the Yucatan Peninsula had approached where it was supposed to be, but nothing, there is no trace.
No one knows for sure what happened to the island/rock/islet. But if it had existed, it would have shifted northward the boundary of Mexico's territorial waters adjacent to those of the United States, allowing the Mexicans to gain sovereignty over four-fifths of the western Hoyo de Dona area, a region of the Gulf of Mexico with large reserves of oil, gases and minerals.
The conspiracy
Mexican and Spanish researchers investigated what happened to the island and came to the conclusion that the island had been artificially disappeared. Jaime Urrutia, from the Geophysics Institutes of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), pointed out that an island could be made to disappear with a hydrogen bomb and others pointed out that the CIA would have made the island disappear.
(The CIA doesn't do that kind of activity, does it? Nord Stream? Nah...)
When Bermejo disappeared, Mexico's ownership in the border treaties with the U.S. for the exploitation of the oilfields known as Hoyo de Dona was reduced.
To investigate what happened and confirm the information, since more than 22 billion barrels of oil were at stake, the Mexican government sent the Navy oceanographic vessel Onjuku to locate the island, but none of the radars detected it.
Mexico was left with no other option and signed the Treaty on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in 2000, which implied leaving the Hoyo de la Dona area in US hands.
A person who could have shed light on the fact died on August 4, 1998, Senator José Ángel Conchello, in a strange automobile accident on the Mexico-Querétaro highway, in which his driver was left intact; José Ángel Conchello had become the bastion defender of maritime sovereignty through Isla Bermeja, and had pointed out multiple times the issue of its location.
The Isthmus of Tehuntepec and the Panama Canal
This being the case...
The geopolitical vision of the so-called Mediterranean Sea of the USA has already been commented before. What could also threaten its hegemony in the region? There is the Isthmus of Tehuntepec Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT) project in Mexico that would allow the transit of goods from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean at a lower cost than crossing through the Panama Canal now under China's control according to Donald Trump.
On the one hand, the US cannot allow the growth of Chinese influence in its "backyard", Peru already escaped it with the construction of a large port with the help of China and the influence of the BRICS in the region led by Brazil. On the other hand, the CIIT would give the opportunity to negotiate advantageous trade agreements for Mexico but not to make America great again.

Geopolitical implications of the CITT
- The CIIT is a logistics route connecting Mexican ports such as Salina Cruz, Coatzacoalcos, Dos Bocas and Puerto Chiapas.
- The CIIT has a strategic position for the movement of products to the continent and the world.
- The CIIT can promote regional development.
Economic Implications
- The CIIT can benefit sectors such as the electrical, electronics, automotive, pharmaceutical, and agroindustrial sectors, among others.
- The CIIT can be linked to the main axes of international maritime trade.
Hence Trump's urgency to recover the Panama Canal and to declare the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups.
What if the US controls the Gulf of Mexico?
This can be taken lightly and be funny as mentioned by some in the forum. In Geopolitics there is no such thing and history proves it.
