The Mexican government has sued Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' on its maps service for US users, despite repeated requests to change it back. The renaming was done in response to a US executive order signed by former President Donald Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum argues that the US order only applies to the US portion of the continental shelf and lacks authority to rename the entire gulf.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the lawsuit, arguing that the name change should only apply to the part of the Gulf over the U.S. continental shelf.

President Trump is considering renaming the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Gulf ahead of his trip to the Middle East, a move that has infuriated Iran and its people. The name 'Persian Gulf' has been used since ancient times and is considered a core part of Iran's national and cultural identity. While Trump has the power to change geographical names used in the US, other countries are not required to honor the change. Iranians across various factions have condemned the proposal, and it may negatively impact ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the US.
