Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened a civil lawsuit against Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on its maps service following an executive order Donald Trump signed after taking office.
Sheinbaum insisted Thursday that Alphabet Inc.’s Google was incorrect to rename the body of water on their mapping service, arguing that Trump’s executive order could only pertain to the continental shelf within US territory.
