President Claudia Sheinbaum says lawsuit has been filed after US lawmakers voted on name change
Mexico has sued Google for changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America” for Google Maps users in the United States, Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president, said on Friday.
“The lawsuit has already been filed,” Sheinbaum said at her morning news conference, without saying where and when it was submitted.
On Thursday, Republicans in the House of Representatives approved legislation to codify Donald Trump’s policy of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.
This is another “freedom fries” moment.
This is another “This is why blue states have laws against siblings breeding” moment.
What has the United States of North Mexico done now?
Obviously Trump’s rename of Gulf of Mexico was stupid, but this is ridiculous, how does Mexico imagine they have a right to decide what others call things?
This is stupid meets stupid.Respectfully, I disagree. They have maps border and place names tailored for each country they deserves.
There is a single country in the world that recognises the name « Gulf of America ». Yet they show that name in all countries, wether that name is recognised or not.
As a European, I don’t care how Trump names that body of water and it pisses me off each time I see that name, in French to make it even more ridiculous.
This is so stupid. I understand the feeling, but having “china” in it’s name does not give china a right over the china sea. It is just a name. The same goes for the gulf of Mexico.
Why is it called “gulf of California”? California doesnt even surround it. Time for uno reverse
The only option is a US state name change back to Alta California and a re-formalization of Baja California’s bay as the Sea of Cortés.
If we’re going to rename it anyway, can we pick someone better to honor? Hernán Cortés was a narcissistic conquistador who destroyed the Aztec empire.
