I will say that this is formally disinformation and the EU as well as some countries have laws about that. In principle, Google is a signatory to The EU Code of Practice on Disinformation, and as such is in violation of said code by placing the offending name anywhere as they have.
They could place it in the top of the Gulf within the 12 limit of US sovereignty but it would need to be clear that it only applied to that area within the 12ML and not the whole Gulf of Mexico. So, there should be sanction on Google for violating the terms of this Code of Practice.
