Mexican President Claudia Shinbum says Mexico will take legal action against Google if the map offered to users in the United States continues to name the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America through the entire water group.
During a press conference on Monday, Shinbaum argued that US President Donald Trump’s order to rename the water body applies only to part of the continental shelf under the control of the United States.
“What Google is doing here is to change the name of the continental shelf of Mexico and Cuba, which has nothing to do with Trump’s decision, which only applied to the American continental shelf,” said Shinbom. “We do not agree with this, and the Foreign Minister has sent a new letter dealing with the case.”
Mexico is waiting for a new response from Google to its request to fully return the GULF of Mexico to its Google Maps service before filing a lawsuit.
Sheinbaum shared a letter addressed to her government from CRIS Turner, Vice President of Government and Public Policy in Google, who said that Google will not change the policy that was identified after Trump announced the water group in the Gulf of America.
“We will wait for Google’s response, and if not, we will be to the court,” Shinbom said on Monday during a morning press conference.
As, the Gulf appears in Google Maps as “The Gulf of America” inside the United States, such as “Mexico Bay” inside Mexico and “Mexico Bay (Gulf of America)” in Canada and other places. In his message, Turner said that the company was using the Gulf of America to follow up “long, fair maps policies and continuing in all regions” and that the company was ready to meet personally with the Mexican government.
“Although international treaties and agreements are not aimed at organizing how to represent private service providers,” our fixed policy is to consult multiple reliable sources to provide the latest up to the history of the world. “
In response to Google’s speech, the Mexican authorities said that they will take legal measures, and wrote that “without any circumstances, Mexico will accept the renames of a geographical area inside its territory and under its competence.”
Xinbum said previously that Mexico could file a civil lawsuit against Google.
