(CNN) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country may sue Google after it changed its maps to say “The Gulf of America” instead of “The Gulf of Mexico.”
The tech giant made the adjustment following an executive order from United States President Donald Trump.
Sheinbaum said Mexico has sovereignty over its territorial waters and she expects Google to commit to internationally recognized geographical names.
Google has said previously that it applies name changes even when they’ve been updated in official government sources.
People who use Google Maps in the United States will see “Gulf of America” appear while people in Mexico will see “Gulf of Mexico.”
The rest of the world sees both names.
