Mexico officially files lawsuit against Google over ‘Gulf of America’ name change in Google Maps

Many people made memes when President Donald Trump announced he was changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf Of America’ but now, the Mexican president is fighting back.

Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, announced on Friday (May 9) that her administration is suing Google after they changed the Gulf of Mexico’s name to the ‘Gulf of America’ on Google Maps.

Google also allegedly ignored Mexico’s ‘repeated requests’ not to rename, the BBC reports.

Shortly into his second term of presidency, which began in January, Trump created an executive order for the US Government to rename the Gulf.
