Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum isn’t staying quiet about Google’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The tech giant recently announced it would comply with a U.S. executive order to change the name of the iconic body of water to the “Gulf of America.” Sheinbaum fired back, saying Mexico will send a formal letter to Google questioning the move.

The controversy began earlier this week when Google explained its reasoning in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The company stated it has a policy of updating names on its maps based on official government sources. However, when names differ between countries, Google Maps shows users the official name for their location while displaying both names elsewhere.

Sheinbaum’s pushback highlights the global ripple effects of decisions made by tech companies. The Gulf of Mexico, shared by multiple countries, holds significant cultural and historical importance. Mexico’s stance underscores the tension between tech platforms and national identities.

Google’s renaming plan hasn’t been finalized, but it’s clear not everyone is on board. Stay tuned to see how this international tech tussle unfolds.
