Mexico asks Google Maps not to rename Gulf of Mexico

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has written a letter to Google asking the firm to reconsider its decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring the body of water - which is bordered by the US, Cuba and Mexico - be renamed the Gulf of America in his first week in office.

It will only appear on Google Maps with the new name for people based in the US - elsewhere in the world it will retain its current name, which has been used for hundreds of years.
