Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatens to challenge Google if the company remains in its decision to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico into the American Gulf on Google Maps. The AFP news agency tells.
The Gulf of America alone is currently seen as a name for all US users. Elsewhere in the world, including Finland, the new name is followed by the current name (Gulf of Mexico).
Sheinbaum says Mexico approached the United States in writing. In the letter, Mexico emphasized that the name change was only valid in the US underwater continental area, and the old name on the Mexico side would still be valid.
“Under any circumstances, Mexico does not accept the designation of any geographical area that belongs to our national territory and is under our competence,” Sheinbaum says of the content of the letter.
– We are waiting for Google’s answer. If not, we will proceed to court, Sheinbaum said at a press conference.
