Mexico has filed a legal lawsuit against Google for labeling the Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America" on Google Maps for American users, arguing that the move violates the sovereignty and international recognition of Mexican territory, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

Sheinbaum told a regular morning press conference that Google has already been sued and that "a first resolution" has been issued, awaiting compliance.

The United States could "change the name of a state, a mountain, a lake" and call it "whatever they decide" if it is within its territory, but those on the Mexican and Cuban sides cannot be renamed, said the Mexican president, noting that Google must clearly distinguish the respective areas.

The dispute occurred amid ongoing tariff tensions, primarily over immigration and security issues. Authorities from both countries have held meetings to reach an agreement.

The Gulf of Mexico is a body of water located to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico. This name has been in use since the 16th century.
