Mexico continued Google on the name change in the Gulf of Mexico, says the president

Friday morning, president Claudia Sheinbaum, of Mexico, said that her government had continued Google for the decision of the company to qualify the Gulf of Mexico as “American Gulf” – a spray dating back to February, when the Trump administration published an executive decree to rename the Gulf.

The ordinance prompted certain local governments and legislators in the United States to adopt the use of the name on official documents. This also implemented Google change on its cards. In the United States, users would see the body of water with the new name while the inhabitants of Mexico would continue to see the Gulf of Mexico, the company announced in a press release. The rest of the world would see the two names.

But for Ms. Sheinbaum, who has already joked by saying that the United States could be renowned “Mexican America”, even this compromise crosses a line. The unilateral attempt to rename the Gulf caused a ridiculousness and anger in Mexico, where many people have a negative opinion on Mr. Trump but generally approve of the fresh approach of Ms. Sheinbaum to sail in her threat chain, according to recent surveys.

“What we say is:” Google, remains with what the American government has approved “, she told journalists, referring to order, which has only renamed the maritime regions controlled by the United States-and not the entire Gulf.

The Trump administration is in its right to rename its own territory, but the maritime areas which are under the control of Mexico or Cuba cannot be rebalanced by the United States or anyone, she said. “We would have no deal to tell them to rename a state, a mountain or a lake,” she added.

In February, Cris Turner, vice-president of Google government and public policies, sent a letter to the Mexican government justifying change and confirming that people using Google Maps in Mexico would continue to see the Gulf of Mexico.
