Mexico Threatens Legal Action Against Google Over 'Gulf of America' Name Change

Following a Trump-era executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America,' Google Maps updated its maps, prompting a strong reaction from Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will sue Google if the name change isn't limited to the US jurisdictional waters. Sheinbaum argues that the executive order only applies to the US continental shelf, not the entire gulf, and that Google's actions infringe on Mexican sovereignty. Mexico has sent a letter to Google demanding a correction.
