Mexico has initiated legal action against Google following the company's move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, aligning with a directive from U.S. President Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the lawsuit during a press briefing, indicating legal advice was considered prior to this action. The name change has been a point of contention, given that the Gulf has historically been known as the Gulf of Mexico for over 400 years. The alteration is perceived as infringing upon Mexico's sovereignty over its coastal regions.
Trump signed an order on his first day back in the White House in January to rename the northern part of the gulf to the Gulf of America.
What Google is doing here is changing the name of the continental shelf of Mexico and Cuba, which has nothing to do with Trump's decree, which applied only to the US continental shelf.
