Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Google for referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘Gulf of America’.
The controversial name change was made by former US President Donald Trump via executive order.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the lawsuit during a press briefing on May 9.
She did not provide specific details about the legal action taken against Google.
The dispute highlights the ongoing tensions between Mexico and the United States over various issues.
Google has faced criticism for its handling of geographical names and borders in the past.
The Gulf of Mexico is a significant body of water that borders several countries in North America.
The lawsuit could have implications for how tech companies handle sensitive geopolitical matters.
It remains to be seen how the legal battle between Mexico and Google will unfold.
