Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has warned Google that legal action will be taken against the company if it presents the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America on a map for US-based users.Sheinbaum stated that the order issued by former President Trump applies only to the part of the Gulf controlled by the US.

She added that Mexico is awaiting a response from Google to ensure that the company fully restores the name "Gulf of Mexico" on its Google Maps before legal action is pursued.

The Mexican official emphasized that under no circumstances will Mexico accept the renaming of any geographical area within its territory and jurisdiction.

It is important to note that recent reports suggest Google has altered the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on maps viewed in the US, while users in Mexico will still see the Gulf of Mexico, and other countries will see both options.
