Sheinbaum made the case that Google should not bend to “the mandate of a country” attempting to change the name of an international sea. “For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” she said.

Google responded to President Donald Trump's executive order stating that it would update its system to show "Gulf of America."
