UN Mexico sues Google over 'Gulf of America' name change - President Sheinbaum's government contends that Trump's order applies only to the US portion of the continental shelf.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has asked the tech company multiple times to change the name
Mexico is suing Google for ignoring repeated requests not to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America on Google Maps for US users, President Claudia Sheinbaum says.

She did not say where the lawsuit had been filed. Google did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

On Thursday, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to officially rename the Gulf for federal agencies.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office in January.

He argued the change was justified because the US "do most of the work there, and it's ours".

However Sheinbaum's government contends that Trump's order applies only to the US portion of the continental shelf.

"All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with," she said, asserting that the US lacks the authority to rename the entire gulf.

In January, Sheinbaum wrote a letter to Google asking the firm to reconsider its decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico for US users. The following month, she threatened legal action.

At the time, Google said it made the change as part of "a longstanding practice" of following name changes when updated by official government sources.

It said the Gulf - which is bordered by the US, Cuba and Mexico - would not be changed for people using the app in Mexico, and users elsewhere in the world will see the label: "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

The Associated Press (AP) news agency's refusal to start referring to the Gulf of America led to a months-long conflict with the White House, which restricted AP's access to certain events.

A federal judge ordered the White House in April to stop sidelining the outlet.

Trump hinted Wednesday that he may recommend changing the way the US refers to another body of water.

During an upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia, he plans to announce that the US will henceforth refer to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Arabia, AP reported.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has responded by saying he hopes the "absurd rumours" are "no more than a disinformation campaign" and such a move would "bring the wrath of all Iranians".

Performative kikery at work.
If she’s that upended about irrelevant shit, why doesn’t she sue the countries who declare there’s 7 or 6 continents, over the Mexican-taught 5?
Seems just as pointless to get worked up over.

Not like she has cartels, poverty, and mass crime to worry about, no sir.
That’s for the plebs to worry about.

Not only that, but the name only shows up to Americans. It literally affects Mexico none. She has absolutely no standing even by psychotic Orange Man Bad standards.

The whole Gulf of America thing is stupid. Who cares what they call it? Call it the Gulf of Cuba for all I care. If I were Google, I would show it as the Gulf of America in the US and the Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. If they want, people in Cuba or the Dominican Republic call it the Gulf of the Caribbean.

This is the stupidest shit I swear. Trump did this for a laugh, I hope to God that the next president changes the name back just to watch people lose their mind over it.

We should rename Mexico to "America's Ballsack" - I mean, what are they going to do about it?

My understanding of it is that Biden signed an EO a few days before leaving office that was pretty iron-clad to prevent drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Rather than litigate for years to undo that order, Trump did an end run around it by simply renaming the Gulf so he can actually implement his policies rather than have his administration sabotaged further by Biden's destruction.
