Mexico Sues Google Over Gulf of Mexico Name Change | JQJO

Mexico City's Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum announced a lawsuit against Google for altering its maps to label the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." This follows a 2017 Trump administration executive order that only renamed U.S.-controlled waters. While Google initially displayed both names, Sheinbaum considers this unacceptable, viewing it as compliance with the U.S. order. The renaming has sparked outrage in Mexico, though Sheinbaum's measured response has generally been well-received.
