Mexico sues Google over 'Gulf of America' name change

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum says the country is suing Google for ignoring repeated requests not to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America on Google Maps for US users. 
 
She did not say where the lawsuit has been filed. Google did not respond to BBC's request for comment. 
 
On Thursday, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to officially rename the Gulf for federal agencies. 
 
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order for the renaming on his first day in office in January.
