Mexico is suing Google for disregarding repeated requests to stop referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" for U.S. users on Google Maps.
President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the lawsuit but did not specify where it had been filed.
The controversy comes after the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted to officially rename the Gulf for federal agencies. This action followed an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office, arguing the change was warranted because the U.S. "does most of the work there, and it's ours."
However, Sheinbaum's administration disputes this, asserting that the U.S. only has jurisdiction over the U.S. portion of the Gulf's continental shelf, not the entire body of water. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico wants the U.S. decree to be limited to the American portion of the Gulf and not affect the name globally.
