Mexico Sues Google Over Gulf Naming Dispute
Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Google after the company changed the label of the 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for U.S. Google Maps users, in accordance with an executive order and a federal law initiated by former President Donald Trump and later codified by Congress. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum asserts that the U.S. lacks authority to rename the entire gulf, which is shared among several countries. Google stated that its naming policy follows official government sources and that U.S. users now see 'Gulf of America,' Mexican users see 'Gulf of Mexico,' and other regions see a combined label. Sheinbaum, referencing historical territorial disputes, previously joked about renaming the U.S. as 'Mexican America' and had warned Google in February about possible legal action. The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between Mexico and the U.S., including trade and sovereignty issues. Details regarding the jurisdiction or specific court for the lawsuit have not yet been disclosed.
