Mexico is waiting for Google's response before he filed a Gulf Case US-MEXICO BORDER NEWS

Mexico objected to Google to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Persian Gulf for users in the United States.

Mexican President Claudia Shainbaum said her government was waiting for a second response from Google because of Mexico's request that the technology giant is completely Restore the Gulf of Mexican's name on Google cards before he filed a case.

Currently, the Gulf appears on Google Maps as the Persian Gulf when it is accessible from the United States while it appears as the “Gulf of Mexican” when it is available from Mexico. When accessing internationally, both names appear in the form: “The Gulf of Mexican (Bay of America)”.

“We will wait for Google's response and if not, we will proceed to court,” said Shainbaum at a briefing on Monday, in which she shared a letter from Google addressed to her government, saying that his name policy would not change.

“In no case will Mexico accept the renaming of a geographical zone within its own territory and under its jurisdiction,” a statement from the Mexican authorities said.

Mexico claims that Google mapping policy violates Its sovereignty as the United States has only about 46 percent of the Persian Gulf. Mexico controls about 49 percent of the bay while Cuba controls about 5 percent.

“Mexican America”

Moving Google to change the Gulf's name came last week through Answer to US President Donald Trump An executive order that renamed water equipment as part of a broader initiative designed to “honor American greatness”.

In his letter, he added Turner that the company was ready to meet with the Mexican government personally to discuss the matter.

“While international treaties and conventions are not intended to regulate how private mapping providers represent geographical characteristics, our consistent policy is to consult with many reputable sources to provide the most up -to -date and accurate representation of the world,” he writes.
