Mexico’s President says Trump only has the right to change the name of 22 nautical miles in the Gulf of America & says she’ll sue Google, $GOOGL, for the name change.
“We’re talking about 22 nautical miles, not the entire gulf,” Sheinbaum said, adding that Google is also changing the name of the continental shelves of Mexico and Cuba.
The Mexican government has been discussing this matter with Google since January. Sheinbaum shared her government’s response to Google’s most recent letter on its maps, saying that under no circumstances will Mexico accept the renaming of any geographical area that includes its national territory or that falls under its jurisdiction.
“Any reference to the ‘Gulf of America’ initiative on your Google Maps platform must be exclusively limited to the marine area under US jurisdiction,” the letter read. “Any extension beyond that zone exceeds the authority of any national government or private entity. Should that be the case, the Government of Mexico will take the appropriate legal actions as deemed necessary.”
Sheinbaum, who noted last week that a civil suit was possible, said Monday that the Mexican government would await Google’s response before proceeding with legal action.
