Mexico City:
Mexico will bring Google to court if it is over and over to turn the name of the Gulf of Mexico into “Gulf of America” for card users in the United States, said President Claudia Sheinbaum Monday.
She said that her government had again written to the American company, with the argument that the executive command of President Donald Trump on the subject only applies to the part of the continental plank of the United States.
The letter informs Google that “in no way Mexico accepts the reconstruction of a geographical area that includes part of his national territory and that falls under his jurisdiction,” she said.
“We will wait for Google’s answer and, if not, we will go to court,” said Sheinbaum at her daily news conference.
Sheinbaum had announced on Friday that its government is considering legal steps against Google and said, “If necessary, we will submit a civil lawsuit.”
Trump signed an executive order that renamed the Gulf of Mexico shortly after his inauguration of 20 January.
In response, Sheinbaum stated weekly for the United States ‘Mexican America’, pointing to a map that goes back until before 1848, when a third of its country was seized by the United States.
Google, which is part of Tech giant Alphabet, said that users of the Maps app in Mexico would continue to see the name “Gulf of Mexico”, while both of them would see names in third countries.
Apple has also renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” for the American users of its card application to meet Trump’s order.
