Mexico says it is suing Google for labeling the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America that Trump enjoys

Mexico is applying to tech giant Ancient Google to mark the Gulf of Mexico as the U.S. Gulf of US users after President Trump ordered the U.S. government to change the name of the water corpse, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

Sheinbaum announced the lawsuit at a daily press conference, but provided no details about the lawsuit.

Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Relations had previously sent letters to Google asking it not to post Mexican territory to the U.S. Gulf. Mexico believes that the new label should only apply to the Bay Area of ​​the US continental shelf.

In February, Sheinbaum shared a letter from Cris Turner, Google’s vice president of government affairs and public policy, saying Google will not change the policies outlined after Trump declared “waters are the Bay of America.”

For now, the Gulf appears in Google Maps as the Gulf of Mexico within the United States, the Gulf of Mexico within Mexico and elsewhere (the Gulf of the United States). Turner said in his letter that the company is using the U.S. Gulf to follow “the map policy in all regions in an impartial and consistent manner.”

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CBS News.

Mr. Trump Signed an executive order Shortly after taking office, the name of the water was changed to the Gulf of the United States and the name of the Alaska Mountains back to the McKinley Mountains. Ministry of the Interior Later officially renamed bay.

The executive order only carries authorities within the United States, and Mexico and other countries do not need to acknowledge the change of this name. Both the United States and Mexico have coastlines along the Gulf, and the State Department in the 1970s reported that the maritime border between the two countries began at the center of the Rio Grande estuary and operated on a fixed route.

Still, Mr. Trump and his allies have pushed for wider adoption of the U.S. Bay name.

Thursday's house A bill passed This attempted to change the name and guide federal agencies to codify their maps to update their maps accordingly, and almost all Republicans voted for it. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has restricted access to certain White House spaces by Associated Press reporters after media opted not to follow the name change, despite federal judges Order the government to restore access.
