Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said, on Friday, that Mexico sued Google for changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America” for Google Maps users in the US.
“The lawsuit has already been filed,” Sheinbaum said at her morning news conference, without providing any further details.
On Thursday, Republicans in the House of Representatives approved legislation to codify Donald Trump’s policy of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.
Sheinbaum had warned Google in February that she was considering legal action unless the company reversed its decision.
The Mexican President: “All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with."
“The US government only calls the portion of the US continental shelf the Gulf of America, not the entire gulf, because it wouldn’t have the authority to name the entire gulf,” she added.
