Overview
Mexico is poised to take legal action against Google over the labeling of the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" in U.S. maps. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that they are awaiting a new response from Google, which recently reaffirmed its policy despite the controversy sparked by Trump's naming decree. The Gulf appears as "Gulf of America" in U.S. versions and "Gulf of Mexico" in those viewed in Mexico. This dispute is rooted in issues of sovereignty, as the U.S. has jurisdiction over only 46% of the Gulf, while the rest belongs to Mexico and Cuba. Amidst ongoing trade negotiations, Sheinbaum stated Mexico would not accept alterations of geographic names that fall within its territory.
