Mexico is suing Google over 'Gulf of America' name change for US users

Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Google, arguing that its renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its U.S.-based Maps service violates federal authority. President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized compliance with Trump administration orders and highlighted the lack of U.S. authority over such large bodies of water. Google defended its move by explaining it aimed to display official local names for users outside Mexico, despite the Gulf remaining "Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico.
