Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government is not ruling out filing a civil lawsuit against Google if it maintains its stance of calling the stretch of sea between northeastern Mexico and the southeastern United States the “Gulf of America.

Google Maps has blocked reviews for the Gulf of Mexico, after criticism of its decision to label it "Gulf of America" for users in the US. The tech giant updated the name of the location on Wednesday after President Donald Trump ordered it to be changed in official government documents.

Google has officially updated Maps to label the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," following U.S. President Donald Trump 's executive order renaming the sea. Fortunately, the tech giant is also retaining the gulf's internationally recognised name which it has held since at least 1552 — at least, for non-American users.
