Summary
Mexico has sued Google for altering the Gulf of Mexico’s name on U.S.-based maps to “Gulf of America,” citing concerns over Trump’s policy changes and a potential lawsuit. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House passed legislation to implement this renaming but face slim chances of passage due to lack of Democratic support. In response, Mexico hinted at an alternative name, humorously suggesting “Mexican America.”
