Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced that legal action will be taken against Google if the company continues to label the “Mexico Gulf” as the “American Gulf” on Google Maps. Recently, Google mentioned that the Mexico Gulf will be renamed the American Gulf but assured that this change would not affect users in Mexico. During a press conference on Monday, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that Google does not have the right to change the name of the entire Mexico Gulf to the American Gulf just to comply with the executive order of U.S. President Donald Trump. Sheinbaum reminded that Trump’s order only applies to the continental shelf of the U.S., pointing out that Mexico and Cuba also have territorial waters in the gulf and therefore a global map service provider such as Google does not have the authority to change the name of the entire gulf. While waiting for an official response from Google, the Mexican government made it clear that legal action will be pursued if no steps are taken. Sheinbaum shared a letter from Google’s Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy, Cris Turner, addressed to the Mexican government. In the letter, Turner stated that the company has been applying its “longstanding mapping policies impartially and consistently across all regions.” Nonetheless, Mexican authorities explicitly expressed that they will not accept such a change, stating that “under no circumstances will Mexico agree to the name change of a geographic region within its territory and jurisdiction.”
