Mexico to Sue Google Over Gulf of Mexico Name Dispute
Following Google’s refusal to fully restore the Gulf of Mexico’s name on Google Maps, despite a request from the Mexican government, Mexico is awaiting a further response before initiating legal action. Google cited longstanding mapping policies and offered a meeting, but Mexico firmly rejected the renaming, asserting it violates its sovereignty over the majority of the gulf. This dispute arises from President Trump’s renaming of the body of water, creating tension between Mexico and the U.S., and fueling concerns about press freedom within the U.S. as well.
