In a dispute that has escalated into a major legal challenge, Mexico has filed suit against Google for its labeling of the Gulf of Mexico as ‘Gulf of America’ on its U.S.-based mapping platform. President Claudia Sheinbaum initiated this legal action, citing concerns over the alteration to Mexico’s continental shelf, specifically regarding the Trump-era order that influenced Google’s decision. This move follows a previous warning from President Sheinbaum in February about potential legal responses. The lawsuit highlights the growing tensions between countries and companies in navigating territorial perceptions of global maps. Experts suggest this case could impact international relations as it addresses a long-standing dispute regarding mapping policy, with potential consequences for bilateral ties.
