Google has introduced the name of one of the largest water reservoirs. Thus, the technological giant realized the announced movement.
47. The President of the United States signed a decree in January regarding the change of the name of the Mexican Gulf to American.

A change on Google maps visible to the naked eye. “The Gulf of Mexican (American Bay)”
The reservoir borders not only with America, but also Kuba and Mexico. The change of name is not relevant to the international name, determined by the non -governmental international hydrographic organization, and in Poland by the Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names outside the Borders of the Republic of Poland.
Despite this, Google MAP users (it was downloaded for 10 billion smartphones or other electronic devices) see alternative naming in brackets in the Mexican bay – American bay. As for US citizens, only the second name is proposed by Donald Trump.
When the Republican announced a desire to change the name, it caused indignation among Mexicans. President Claudia Sheinbaum joked that Google should take into account the change of the entire North American region, which in the 17th century was known as Mexican America. – Please, after entering the “América Mexicana” search engine, a map was displayed, which we presented – she appealed to the technological giant during one of the speeches.

Sheinbaum also pointed out that – in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea – the sovereignty of the state extends only to 12 miles (about 19.3 kilometers) from its coast. This means that Americans can change the name only “at home”.
