Mexico Sues Google Over Renaming Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her government is suing Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico as ‘Gulf of America’ for U.S. users. The lawsuit follows Google’s compliance with a directive from former U.S. President Donald Trump to change the name. The Mexican government insists that the renaming violates international norms, as the Gulf is a shared body of water. Despite Mexico’s objections, Google has maintained the name change for U.S. users while keeping the original name for Mexican users. The U.S. House recently passed a bill to formalize the name change, further escalating the dispute.
