Mexico is awaiting Google’s responses about the “Gulf Nomination” crisis before resorting to the judiciary

Mexico announced, on Monday, that it is waiting for a new response from Google to its request to completely restore the name “Bay of Mexico” to the Google Maps Service, before taking legal measures against the company.
President Claudia Shinbom said during her morning press conference that she had received an official message from Chris Turner, Vice President of Google for Government and Public Policy, in which he explained that Google would not change its policy after US President Donald Trump announced the nomination of the water surface with the “Gulf of America”.
“We will wait for Google’s response, and if there is no change, we will resort to the judiciary.”

Currently, the name appears on Google Maps in different ways, as it is called inside Mexico as “Mexico Bay”, and inside the United States as “The Gulf of America”, while it appears globally with a double name: “The Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”.
In his message, Turner said that Google adopts this designation in accordance with long -term maps policies to ensure neutrality and consistency across all regions, noting that the company is ready to hold a direct meeting with the Mexican government to discuss the issue.
Turner explained in the letter that the company’s fixed policy is based on consulting multiple reliable sources to ensure the provision of an accurate and modern geographical presentation of the world.

Google Policy

The giant technical company announced the change a few days ago, noting that “its long -term policy in applying the amendments to the names when updated in official government sources.”
The American Organization for Geographical Names officially renamed the Gulf, based on an order from US President Donald Trump to rename it in honor of “America’s greatness” shortly after he took office.
The Gulf of Mexico is called this water surface on the southern coast of the United States and the eastern coast of Mexico since the sixteenth century.
