Mexico could file suit against Google for 'Gulf of Mexico' name change

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Google to reconsider renaming the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' for U.S. Users and threatened legal action if necessary.
Sheinbaum argued that the name change does not pertain to the Gulf of Mexico internationally, insisting the previous name is widely recognized.
She noted that the Gulf of Mexico remains unchanged on Google Maps for users in Mexico, despite the alteration for U.S. Users.
If Google does not change the name back, Mexico may pursue a civil lawsuit, with Sheinbaum's legal team already examining the implications.
