    They can still say “made in America “ because Mexico is in America. North America.

      That would not work. The English speaking world doesn’t use America like that Ford would get sued as operations would still be in the US and lose.

      They downvoted you, but in Spanish speaking countries, America is a single continent, with North, South, center and Caribbean just being regions

        I dunno what Spanish speaking country you’re from, but every Spanish speaker I’ve ever known has used “America” to casually refer to the USA.

          The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.[34][42]

            Have you really ever heard someone from Jalisco or whatever refer to themselves as “American”?

                What? No I mean in casual conversation. Not a technical definition, I’m talking about how people casually refer to themselves.
