There are decades of examples where foreign and domestic news outlets refer to the US as 'America'.
There are basically no examples where foreign and domestic news outlets refer to any other country in MA, CA, or SA as 'America'.
Nobody is like 'that was made in America...Brazil.' or 'hey, did you know Americans made that?...yeah, people in Honduras America made it.'...because that isn't a thing.
USA = America for all intents and purposes, at least when discussing news, geopolitical events, global economics, etc.
Anyone who dislikes this reality can take it up with foreign media outlets.
