Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Google for labeling the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" for U.S. users on Google Maps. President Claudia Sheinbaum argues that only international bodies can rename such features and that the U.S. lacks authority to unilaterally change the name. The dispute has escalated into a broader geopolitical controversy.
