Earlier this month, Sheinbaum shared a letter addressed to Google with reporters, arguing that the U.S. had no authority to unilaterally rename the Gulf.

What is even dumber is the idea that naming it as such allows the US more territory beyond the 12-mile limit. It doesn't. The Exclusive Economic Zone extends that to 200 miles....which is still not most of the Gulf of Mexico.
I really like this President. She's not intimidated by President Musk or VP trump and goes for the jugular every chance she gets. Go President Sheinbaum!
And while she’s fussing over this, tariffs and mass deportations are happening that will impact Mexico in a much bigger way. Not saying the renaming is not BS but come on. She’s playing right into his hands.
All this outrage over a name change. Where is the outrage over the hundreds of thousands of Americans dead from fentanyl and criminals that traipsed through her country on their way to kill American children?
Google probably agreed to it because Trump holds the controls that Deal with and to trust laws and could cost them billions of dollars just signing his name to a paper to deal with them
It's not an *argument*, it's a statement of fact. Truly bowled over by the amount of even rational, not-MAGA Americans who somehow still believe they're the whole fucking world and everyone looks up to them.
Why aren't you reporting how f-ed up Dump is???? We used to be the greatest country. Now we're the dumbest. And you and the MSM are enablers of the shit show that we now are.
Isn't getting a prisoner to agree to a blatant falsehood - like saying the sky is green - an interrogation technique to prime them for compliance? Is the ridiculous demand that everyone uses "Gulf of America" just a test to see who will comply and how much it takes to overcome resistance?
If I were Mexican I'd be happy to rename the gulf. Naming it the "Gulf of America" assumes the place where the naming happens is Mexico, looking across to America. It makes Mexico look like the major power and the USA look like an afterthought.
So I'm annoyed that my country is being made to look petty and weak. This naming nonsense isn't going to hurt Mexico. The trade war might, and will definitely hurt both countries in the short term, but trying to rename something in a way that centralized Mexico just isn't worth being offended over.
The Gulf of Mexico isn't part of Mexico, and it doesn't care what it's called. The people living in the countries that border it get to decide what it should be called, which includes me.
This is culture war bullshit and not worth thr effort to be mad at when there are real issues to deal with.
Wouldn’t spend too much time on this. It’s like in Europe occupied by Nazi-Germany being forced to remove Jews from public life:- everybody falls in line out of self-preservation.🤔
We are stronger than men? Of course we are we bear children we can handle 9mos and the delivery !
Men cry when they get a lil cut !! 😂😂
We are their STRENGTH 💪💯
Should have titled the letter "dear weak willed, soft, personal bank account protecting individuals that did not take advantage of their employer sponsored healthcare benefits to sign up for therapy".....
I hope Mexicans and Canadians both realize the majority of the US population do not support this authoritarian bloviating ballbag of rotting meat in power.
She also shared the letter written to her from google revealing their sycophancy to trump by renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Once again, it is embarrassing to be an American.
I think America has the authority to rename geographic entities within its borders, and insist Americans use those names. Other countries have the same right. But there is no international body to enforce international use, so custom, tradition, and common sense must prevail.
"so custom, tradition, and common sense must prevail" it has that name before USA was born, in your words it's traditionally been called gulf of Mexico.
It was Gulf of Mexico before Trump’s administration, people will continue calling it that during his term and his E.O. will be reversed once he’s gone. This is a distraction designed to keep us entertained and addressing his destruction of the United States. FAFO
Trump being a big huge baby is a distraction. As far as I know he CAN rename things, any country can, nobody else has to call it that though. Trump is childish, gross, and spiteful. Sheinbaum should just roll her eyes & rename the Gulf of California "The Other Gulf of Mexico" as a fuck you to him.
My humble opinion is that the United States did not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico Donald Trump did based on a dictatorial executive order I didn't vote for it I didn't even ask for it but that's what dictators do isn't it
Beginning 10 Feb 2025, Google Maps began using varied display names for the Gulf based on device location settings: only "Gulf of America" in the US, only "Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico, and both names in all other countries, soon followed by Apple Maps and Bing Maps.
I'm glad they are putting up a fuss but they have no legal standing. Within the US Google can rename Mexico to "Fart Land" it they want. AFAIK Trump is not trying to force this name change on foreign nations so they could fine or ban Google but I don't think win this case tho I haven't read case law
@npr.org I was just visiting Playa del Carmen, and google maps and Apple Maps showed it as “the gulf of America” my understanding was that they only changed it in the U.S, however it would be more accurate to say they changed it to US users regardless of where they are in the world.
I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.
President Sheinbaum, the Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico. trump can have his little power games, play in his little word salad, step on people's toes just for fun, but he really has no more power than what we give him.
Kick his @$$ Presidente Sheinbaum. La mayoría de americanos no soportan las acciones criminales de nuestro presidente actual. Estamos trabajando con diligencia en cambiar este error grave. Nuestras más sinceras disculpas. 🙏🤦
Mar del Norte. not gulf of mexico. people act like nothing had names until the great white man came to “america” and named everything, so, fuck trump, and fuck mexico.. Mar del Norte.
Mar del Norte and Golfo de Mexico are not the same place.
"El mar del Norte es un mar marginal del océano Atlántico, situado entre las costas de Noruega y Dinamarca en el este, las de las islas británicas al oeste y las de Alemania, los Países Bajos, Bélgica y Francia al sur."
Tens of thousands took to the streets!

This fight isn’t over.
Stay loud.
Stay strong.
More to come!
I have noticed a change in results when using Google to search a topic and then doing the same search in something like Bing. Google was biased before, but now...
Someone mentioned that this goes beyond the gulf. What’s to stop China from claiming and renaming Taiwan? This is beyond an ego play. This is a dog whistle to take without permission-something a convicted rapist knows all about.

Confetti 🎊 is what you'll chase?
NPR needs to focus on the New Nazi World Order.
It's still the "Gulf of Mexico" outside the US.
Google has renamed shit on command for China and other nations for years. "Long standing practice" they call it, even.

God my countrymen will never not be the most self centered dipshits ever to slither out of a twat.

I can't believe a Game of Thrones quote came in handy when talking politics lol
It sets a fucked up precedent especially with China and the South China Sea.
I wish Americans had voted for a person with a couple more brain cells.
Intellectually challenged people are a bitch to work with on all fronts..
