Mexico City - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday if her administration maintains its stance on the northeastern Mexico and the southeast of the United States called the ocean between the U.S. “America Bay”, Her administration will not rule out a civil lawsuit against Google.

The region has long named the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico after President Donald Trump announced that he would change the name of the Gulf.

Sheinbaum said in a morning press conference that the president's decree was limited to the "U.S. continental shelf" because Mexico still controls most of the Gulf. “We have sovereignty over our continental shelf,” she said.

Sheinbaum said that despite her administration's letter to Google that the company was "wrong" and that "the entire Gulf of Mexico cannot be called the U.S. Gulf", the company insisted on maintaining the nomenclature.

It is not clear where the lawsuit will be filed.

Google reported on its X account last month that it maintained “a long-standing practice of updating name changes in official government resources.”

As of Thursday, the way the Bay appears on Google Maps depends on the user's location and other data. If the user is in the United States, the waters will serve as the U.S. Gulf. If the user is physically in Mexico, it will appear as the Gulf of Mexico. In many other countries around the world, it seems to be the "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of the United States).

Sheinbaum repeatedly defended the name Gulf of Mexico, saying it was used in 1607 and was recognized by the United Nations.

She also mentioned that according to Apatzingán's constitution, the predecessor of Mexico's first constitution was North American territory, which was previously considered "Mexican United States." Sheinbaum used this example to mock Trump and emphasized the international significance of changing the Bay name.

In that sense, Sheinbaum said Thursday that the Mexican government would ask Google to pop up "Mexico America" ​​during the search.

This is not the first time that Mexicans and Americans disagree with the names of key geographical regions such as Texas and Givava, Kovaju, Nuevo León and Tamoripas The border river between (Tamaulipas). Mexico calls it Rio Bravo, and for the United States, it's Rio Grande.

This week, the White House banned Associated Press reporters from attending several events, including some in the Oval Office, saying it was due to the news agency’s name policy. The Associated Press is using the "Gulf of Mexico" but also acknowledges Trump's renaming of this to ensure that the names of geographical features are recognizable worldwide.
