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”.
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.
No, from the article this is the issue:
As a European they show both as Mexican and American in my language.
The latter is of course moronic, because as you say it is not an acknowledged name in my country, but how would you suggest it is illegal in USA?
I disagree with the same person, but without respecting them.
