Mexico's President Threatens Legal Action Against Google Over Gulf Name Change
Claudia Sheinbaum warns Google of a lawsuit if it doesn’t revert to Gulf of Mexico amid U.S. name shift to Gulf of America.
Overview
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened legal action against Google over its renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on maps. This change follows President Trump’s executive order affecting only U.S. waters. Sheinbaum insists the U.S. lacks authority to rename an international body of water shared with Mexico and Cuba. Google stated it updated the name based on official sources. Additionally, Apple Maps and other platforms have followed suit. Sheinbaum hopes Google will reconsider its decision, emphasizing the historical designation of the Gulf of Mexico and arguing that legal action may explore the implications of this change.
