Mexico threatens to sue Google over Gulf of Mexico renaming

Mexico may take legal action against Google if its maps continue labeling the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America for US users, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated. She stressed that the renaming, ordered by US President Donald Trump, should only apply to waters under US jurisdiction. Google changed the name last week for US-based users, citing its policy of updating names from official sources. In Mexico, the body of water remains the Gulf of Mexico, while other countries see both names. Sheinbaum had previously warned that a civil suit was possible if Google did not correct what she called an inaccurate designation. Sheinbaum shared Google’s response to Mexico’s earlier complaint, which confirmed the name remains unchanged for users in Mexico. However, she announced a new letter demanding that "Gulf of America" be limited to US waters and said Mexico would await Google’s reply before pursuing legal action. The Gulf of Mexico has carried its name for over 400 years. It borders five US states but also shares a coastline with parts of Mexico and Cuba. While the US claims control over a significant portion of the gulf, international agreements have clarified territorial waters. So, what exactly do we know about this universally recognized gulf located between Florida and the Yucatan Peninsula? Click through the following gallery and travel its length and breadth.
