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”.

    I am from the Gulf coast and have always said, when describing where I’m from “the Gulf coast”, but since all this bullshit I’ve been making it a point to say I’m from “the Gulf of Mexico”, cause fuck that guy. But also it’s fucking dumb, it’s all just sea, who gives a shit. Next thing you know he’ll be saying the “pacific of America”
