Mexico plans lawsuit against Google over Gulf renaming

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has threatened legal action against Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its maps, following an executive order from former President Donald Trump. Sheinbaum argues that the name change lacks legal basis beyond U.S. territorial waters and that the historical name should be respected. Conversations with Google have not yielded a resolution, prompting Sheinbaum to consider a lawsuit if the company does not revert the name. The name change is reflected differently in various regions, with U.S. users seeing 'Gulf of America' while users elsewhere see both names. This controversy highlights broader tensions between the U.S. and Mexico regarding territorial sovereignty and historical recognition. The White House has also supported the name change, emphasizing its importance on a global scale.
