President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said Wednesday that her government would write to Google, the US tech giant, protesting President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.”

Sheinbaum spoke at a press conference, stressing that Mexico will not accept the US attempt to rename the body of water, especially since a large portion of it is in international waters, and she raised concerns about the implications for international law and the naming authority overseas.

Although Google acknowledged that it would rename the Gulf for its US users, keeping the original name in Mexico and displaying both names for users outside of the US and Mexico, Sheinbaum reaffirmed that the US government does not have the authority to make such changes.

Google announced on Monday that the adjustments will take effect as soon as the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated and are consistent with its policy of adhering to official US government geographic designations.

Shortly after taking the oath of office on January 20, Trump issued executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
