The president of Mexico is considering suggesting Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico de Gulf of America on his cards commissioned by Donald Trump.
Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday that its government is considering legal ways to restore the previous name on Google Maps.
“We're going to wait. We are already seeing what this would mean from the perspective of legal advice, but we hope they will make a revision, “she said.
It comes after President Donald Trump stated that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed via an executive order on return to the White House.
'We are going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring. That covers a lot of territory, “he said.
“The wave of America. What a nice name. And it's appropriate. '
In response, Google has updated its Google Maps app to ensure that users see 'Gulf of America' within the Unted -States.
Outside the US, all users will see both names – including those who live in Mexico.

Sheinbaum argued that the term Golf of Mexico has long been internationally recognized and accepted.
“The only thing we ask from Google is to look at the decree that the White House has released and that President Donald Trump has signed,” she said.
'You will see in that decision that it does not refer to the entire wave.
'If necessary, we will submit a civil suit. Our legal area has already been investigated what that would mean, but we hope that (Google) reconsider. '
It comes when Google is confronted with a considerable recoil for following the orders of President Trump.
Critical voters deported on Reddit to force Google to give the name back by bombing the platform with negative feedback about the change.
Instead, they noticed that their comments and recoil were quickly removed, and in the end the function was to give comments and assessment eliminated.
A Spokesperson for the technology company told Forbes: “We regularly place protection in places in times when we anticipate an increase in contributions that are off-topic or are not related to a person's direct experience with the place.”

In a message on X, Google added: 'We have received a few questions about naming within Google Maps. We have a long -term practice to apply name changes when they have been updated in official government sources. '
The company has explained that it is based from the Geographic Namur System (GNIS) that the name would have updated according to Trump's order.
'Long -term practice: When official names vary between countries, users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names, “the company wrote on X.
The Trump government announced on Friday that it had officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America', as well as the Alaskan Peak Denali in 'Mount McKinley'.
Similarly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) fell in accordance with the statements, which means that a notification is sent in which it is confirmed that its systems were to update both names.
“Keep in mind that the FAA is busy updating our data and graphs to show a name change from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and a name change from Denali to Mount McKinley,” said the notification.
