Mexico has taken legal action against Google for referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘Gulf of America’.

The change in labeling was initiated by former US President Donald Trump through an executive order.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the lawsuit during a press briefing on May 9.

Details of the lawsuit were not disclosed by Sheinbaum, but she confirmed that Google had been sued.

The dispute highlights the political sensitivity surrounding the naming of geographical features.

The Gulf of Mexico is a significant body of water bordered by Mexico, the United States, and Cuba.

The lawsuit underscores Mexico’s commitment to preserving its national identity and sovereignty.

Google has not yet responded publicly to the lawsuit filed by Mexico.

The outcome of the legal battle between Mexico and Google remains to be seen.
