Mexico has threatened to sue Google if the tech company does not restrict its label of 'Gulf of America' solely to the US jurisdictional area. President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that the label change resulting from a Trump executive order should only apply to the US continental shelf, covering just 22 nautical miles, and not extend to the entire Gulf of Mexico, which the country shares with the US and Cuba. The Mexican government has engaged in discussions with Google since January and firmly opposes any geographic renaming that includes its territories.
"Any reference to the 'Gulf of America' initiative on your Google Maps platform must be exclusively limited to the marine area under US jurisdiction."
"We're talking about 22 nautical miles, not the entire gulf," Sheinbaum said, adding that Google is also changing the name of the continental shelves of Mexico and Cuba.
