"Mexico is suing Google for ignoring repeated requests not to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America for US users on its maps service, Claudia Sheinbaum has said.

The Mexican president did not say where the lawsuit had been filed. Google did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

On Thursday, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to officially rename the Gulf for federal agencies.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office in January calling for the body of water to be renamed, arguing the change was justified because the US "do most of the work there, and it's ours".

However, Sheinbaum's government contends that Trump's order applies only to the US portion of the continental shelf.

"All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with," she said, asserting that the US lacks the authority to rename the entire gulf."

Had this been Keir Starmer we would have accepted the name change and then mumbled something about Churchill
I don't see any Claudia Sheinbaum's in the Labour Party, maybe they haven't been allowed a voice yet?

“I found it sort of beneath America in the way that it took place,” #Biden said of the meeting. He also pointed to calls by #Trump to rename the #GulfOfMexico, take back the #PanamaCanal & acquire #Greenland.

“What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are,” Biden said. “We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity — not about confiscation.”
