Mexico - Recent Division continues over U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, with Mexican residents expressing disdain for the move. The order calls for the renaming of the gulf in all U.S. State Department documentation. While the change has received little support from outside the U.S., American tech companies have nonetheless adopted it, with Google Maps renaming the Gulf for U.S. users. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday warned Google in a second letter that her government will take legal action unless the company reinstates the name of the Gulf of Mexico on its maps. In Mexico City, the public's reaction to the renaming of the Gulf has been widely negative. "It's bad. It lessens our culture, and we are very attached to our historical roots," said Mauricio Barreto, a resident of Mexico City. "They can call it whatever they want, but it's historically called the Gulf of Mexico, and that's not going to change over one person's whim," said Maribel Garcia, a resident. "It's about respect for our country, just as we respect theirs. This creates no benefit for humanity, and there's no need to do it," said Karla Aguirre, another resident. Analysts say the disputed designation may signal a more profound shift in the bilateral relationship between Mexico and the U.S. Fernando Dworak, a Mexican political scientist, said the executive order fits the broader strategy employed by the U.S. administration known as "resignifying", noting that Trump has used this approach throughout his career. By changing the name by which a subject is referred to, the debate happens more on Trump's own terms, the Dworak said. The video shows: FILE: Mexico City, Mexico - June 2, 2019 1.
