Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.

Google announced that it would be taking steps to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Google Maps in the US on its Google Maps platform.

But Mexico argues the U.S. cannot legally change the Gulf's name because the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea dictates that an individual country's sovereign territory only extends up to 12 nautical miles out from the coastline.
