Mexico threatens Google with lawsuit over "Gulf of America" label on maps

Driving the news: During a press conference Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum argued that Google's decision to change its map labels was "incorrect" because Trump's order only applied to the U.S.' continental shelf in the Gulf, CNN reported.

• "What Google is doing here is changing the name of the continental shelf of Mexico and Cuba, which has nothing to do with Trump's decree...We do not agree with this," she said.
• Mexico's foreign minister had sent Google a new letter regarding the issue.
• "We will wait for Google's response and if not, we will proceed to court," Sheinbaum added, per AP.

Google did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment on Tuesday.

The big picture: Google began rolling out updated map labels last week to reflect the name change in official government sources.

• Google Maps users in the U.S. will see "Gulf of America" over the body of water but people in Mexico will continue to see "Gulf of Mexico" on their maps.

• Everywhere else around the world, users will see both names, denoted as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)."

Reality check: The U.S. does not exclusively control the body of water and doesn't have full say over what it's officially named.

• The U.S. has jurisdiction over roughly 46% of the Gulf, while Mexico controls 49% and Cuba 5%, per AP.
