Mexico has sued Google for changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to Gulf of America for Google Maps users in the United States.
Announcing the legal challenge, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, said: “The lawsuit has already been filed,” without saying where and when it was submitted.
The move comes after Donald Trump instructed the US Board on Geographic Names to change the gulf’s name within hours of taking office, after arguing that the ocean basin was “ours” and the US did “most of the work there”.
